Applications are now open for the 2026 Summer School in Classical Languages of the University of Bologna. Our programme will take place between Monday 15 June and Friday 3 July 2026.
We will be offering the following courses: Beginners’ Latin, Intermediate Latin, and Beginners’ Greek. Each course corresponds to 50 hours of teaching distributed over three weeks, from Monday to Friday. Students enrolled for a single course (Ancient Greek or Latin) will attend classes during either mornings or afternoons, while students enrolled for a double course (Ancient Greek and Latin) will attend classes during both mornings and afternoons.
All courses will be offered in English and be held in person at the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies of the University of Bologna.
Our courses are open to anyone over the age of 18. Applicants who are still 17 years old will also be admissible, provided that they are in possession of a high school diploma or are enrolled in the final year of their high school. No prior knowledge of Ancient Greek or Latin is required for the Beginners’ courses.
The fees for a single course (Ancient Greek or Latin) are 900€, whereas those for a double course (Ancient Greek and Latin) are 1450€. Discounts are available for current or former students of the University of Bologna (including EU Erasmus students) and for former SSCL students. The fees cover the cost of tuition, of our textbooks and other teaching materials, and of our weekly extra-curricular activities, which include a tour of Bologna and visits to our museums and libraries.
The application deadline is Wednesday 3 June 2026. Our call and application form can be found on our website.
