Interdisciplinary

ISS Term I: 5 - 30 July 2010

Interdisciplinary

International Summer School Terms I and II are our interdisciplinary programmes, with courses covering a wide variety of subjects, including archaeology, politics, philosophy, economics, literature, history and international relations.

The two terms are independent: you may enrol for either or both. You are welcome to concentrate your studies on two or three courses in the same discipline or to study more widely by choosing courses in differing subject fields. There is a constant exchange of ideas between participants and lecturers across the interdisciplinary curriculum in each Term.

Academic Programme

  • Major plenary lecture series (Term I only): Understanding
  • Two or three special subject courses
  • Evening lectures

Special Subject Courses

Central to your academic programme is a range of special subject courses. Each course consists of classroom sessions which are held on every weekday of the Summer School and are limited to 25 participants (with the exception of SSOA01/SSOB01/SSOC01). You choose either two or three special subject courses, each from a different group (SSOA, SSOB, SSOC for Term I; SSOD, SSOE, SSOF for Term II). Please note: Term I courses are 17 sessions in length – there are no teaching sessions on Friday 16 July. Term II courses are 10 sessions in length.

Evening Lectures

Invited speakers and members of the University will give a varied evening lecture programme, covering a wide range of subjects of current interest.
