RegisterCourse Overview
Please note that each weekly session will be three hours in length and run from 6pm to 9pm (please disregard any other timings on this page).
Our Intermediate Latin I short course equips you with a thorough knowledge of Latin grammar, sentence structure and vocabulary so you can make rapid progress in Latin, with expert guidance from active researchers in Latin language and literature.
Teaching is varied and interactive. The focus will be on enabling you to understand the inner workings of the language and providing you with the necessary tools to read and translate complex passages of unadapted literary Latin texts in both prose and verse. You will practise Latin grammar through translation exercises both from Latin into English and from English into Latin.
As one of two courses, you can take Intermediate Latin I first and then continue your studies with our Intermediate Latin II short course, or you can take them as individual short courses.
As a student on this course, you will study alongside Birkbeck students enrolled on one of our undergraduate or postgraduate courses, giving you the opportunity to network with a range of Birkbeck current students whilst you learn.
This short course runs with classes over three terms every year starting in October.
This course is non-credit bearing, so carries no credit points.
