Learning & Teaching

Teaching and ResearchPaper at the Asterisks and Obelisks: Receptions in Children’s Literature Conference (6-10 July 2009)

Teaching and Research in the School of Classics are intimately connected. All our modules are taught by experts in the specific fields. This gives our students the opportunity to learn from and work with academics that are at the forefront of research in their individual fields.

Our students have the opportunity to take part and attend our Research Seminar Series as well as the Research Conferences organised by the School of Classics. In the past five years, the School has organised 10 international conferences and more than 80 research seminars with speakers from the UK, Europe and the USA.

Students are encouraged to participate and become involved in the School’s Research Projects. Several of our modules are part of existing research projects, which gives students the opportunity to meet and learn from academics from all over the world.

A good example of the connection between our modules and research in the School is the 2011 finalists’ exhibition of the visual reception of the City of Rome in material in the Roderick Bowen Library and Archives as part of their study for the module The City of Rome and in conjunction with the City of Rome Research Project.
