London Summer School in Classics
Organisation
The closing date for applications is 1 June 2012.
The School is organised by the Colleges of the University of London where Classics is taught:
- University College London
- King's College London
The Summer School offers eight days of intensive teaching in Greek and Latin. There are four language classes each day as well as lectures, epigraphy workshops and a debate, between 10.30 and 16.30. The course is not residential, and there is no teaching during the weekend.
Travel grants are available as a contribution to your travel
costs, but may not cover all your expenses. The travel grants are
arranged during the Summer School.
Teaching is generally in
groups of 12-15 people which, as far as possible, comprise students of
roughly the same level of experience (beginners, intermediate or
advanced). The style of teaching is friendly, but demanding: a lot of
work is expected from students during the School, but they usually find
the whole experience both stimulating and valuable. Some classes
concentrate chiefly on reading texts, while others offer a mixture of
grammar and translation practice. Our tutors include some of the most
experienced and talented teachers of Classics in the London area and
beyond.
The Summer School in Classics caters for a wide range
of interests and for both school and university students as well as
those who wish to learn Greek or Latin, or to revive their knowledge of
the languages. Our principal concern is to provide a thorough programme
of language learning in a lively university environment.
