Organization
The school is organized by the colleges of
the University of 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 and a debate, between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm. The course is not
residential (提供住宿的), and
there is no teaching during the weekend of 12th to 13th July.
The fee is £85.00. Travel grants (旅行补助金) 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 and it, as far as possible, comprises (包含) of students of roughly the same level of experience.
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,
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 & 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 program of language
learning in a lively university environment.
