London Summer School in Classics 2020

Tuesday 21 to Thursday 30 July 2020

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN. Deadline 15 June 2020

NEW TESTAMENT/KOINE GREEK: if you wish to study New Testament/Koine Greek, please get in touch with us via email prior to sending your application form.

  • The Summer School offers eight days of intensive teaching in Greek or Latin. We will also be offering Beginners’ classes in Coptic and Biblical Hebrew, as well as Intermediate Hebrew subject to demand. We will also be offering New Testament/Koine Greek (level to be determined based on interest).

  • Please note you may only study one language at the Summer School.

  • For general enquiries please email the Classics Summer School. NB there is no phone number linked to the Summer School. Please use the email provided.

  • The course is not residential, and there is no teaching during the weekend.

  • There are four language classes each day, as well as lectures and epigraphy workshops, between 10:30 and 16:30.

Teaching is generally in groups of 12-15, 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 school and university students, and for anyone else who wishes to learn Greek or Latin, or to revive their knowledge of the languages. Previous participants have included: students with no prior knowledge of the languages; pre-GCSE/GCSE and A-Level students; university students; mature applicants who wish to expand their linguistic knowledge. Our principal concern is to provide a thorough programme of language learning in a lively university environment.

Travel Grants and Bursaries

A limited number of grants may be available as a contribution to the travel costs of some students, though these may not cover all expenses. The travel grants will be arranged during the Summer School.
