Program Overview
- Program Description:
- The Greek and Latin Summer School, organised by the Department of Classics and Italian Studies of Bologna University, offers intensive courses in Greek and Latin with the aim of enabling students to read some of the fundamental texts of our cultural tradition. Further classes will touch on moments of Classical literature, Greek and Roman history and history of art, supplemented by visits to museums and archaeological sites (in Bologna and in Rome).
The school offers Intensive Classes in Greek language and Latin language (44 hours) at different levels for Latin (beginners and intermediate) and an additional Classical Literature Class (11 hours). It is also possible to combine two language courses (Latin & Greek) at a special rate. The intensive course is equivalent to a semester’s work: please refer to the link on this page for a detailed syllabus.
Classes will be held from Monday to Friday, half day (1 course: Greek or Latin) or full day (2 courses: Greek+Latin). In order to obtain the course certificate, the attendance of at least 70% of the course hours is required. A final test is scheduled and a pass will grant 5 ECTS (9 ECTS for both courses). Cultural activities (5 hours) will supplement language knowledge in order to familiarise participants with Italy and Classical culture through visits to the city of Bologna and its museums and historical sites.
