Classics Masterclass

16 February 2019 - 10:00am

Our Masterclasses are aimed at academically-able Year 12 students from any school.

It’s a subject-specific event, which offer students a true flavour of studying Classics as an undergraduate and an introduction to the University of Cambridge. 

The masterclass includes:

  • two taster lectures on Classical themes that go beyond the school syllabus delivered by leading academic members of staff from the University
  • the opportunity to discuss and ask questions
  • an introduction to the Cambridge admissions process
  • the opportunity to hear about life as a Cambridge student, from current undergraduates
