Covid 19 Update

The Department of Greek and Latin offices are now closed, and staff will be working from home until further notice.

We continue to run open days for applicants and offer-holders, and have had several enjoyable online ones since the lockdown started. Further information is available here.

The Department is also offering two online summer schools: Ancient Philosophy from 13-17 July; and Homer from 3-7 August 2020.

We are proud to support Academus Education, a voluntary teaching collective of enterprising students who are offering a free online summer school to pupils from years 10 - 12 on 27 July - 7 August 2020.
