Classical numismatics summer school
The Summer School will not run in 2012 due to the re-display of the Money Gallery. The Summer School will return in July 2013.
The Department of Coins and Medals hosts a summer school for 10 students, which gives a thorough introduction to Greek and Roman numismatics from the archaic to late Roman and Byzantine periods. There will be a mixture of lectures and practical sessions to get to grips with the material and an opportunity to discover more about how the Museum looks after and displays its collection.
The course gives a general grounding in Greek and Roman numismatics and then offers a chance to follow either a Greek or Roman course for more detailed study in each discipline. Students will also work with one of the curators on a display project to present to their class at the end of the course.
Open to all undergraduates and graduate students.
There may be a limited number of bursaries covering fee and accommodation: please enquire for further details. Please apply by sending your CV, a covering letter about your interest in the Summer School (stating Greek or Roman course preference) and a reference from your tutor.
