Our aim is to give sixth formers an opportunity to find out what it is like to study Classics at University and a chance to ask questions they may have about the subject.  The day is particularly focused around the courses on offer at Cambridge and Oxford\, but is also intended to be relevant for students who may be considering studying Classics or related subjects at other Universities. \nProgramme \nThere will be lectures on Classical subjects and sessions on different aspects of our courses and on the admissions procedures at Oxford and Cambridge – as well as a chance to meet Directors of Studies\, current students and to look around the colleges\, through pre-booked College tours.  There will also be a forum for teachers to meet with Admissions Tutors and Directors of Studies\, and special sessions for those who want to find out about beginning languages (either Greek\, Latin or both) at University and for those who are interested in reading Greek or Latin with a Modern Language. The Museum of Classical Archaeology will be open to visitors all day with the opportunity to handle artefacts and rare books at certain times. Stalls with staff and students from both Univsersities will be open from 12 until 4pm for you to find out more about the courses on offer. \nSchool groups and individual bookings are both very welcome. \nClick here to book your place. \nFull Programme for 2016 (click here to download your copy) \n10.00 – 12.00 \nRegistration and Refreshments\, Law Faculty \n11.00 – 11.45 \nPlenary 1: Classics at Oxbridge\, Lady Mitchell Hall\nAfter the session\, the Oxford and Cambridge stalls will be open for you to browse in the Law Faculty. \n12.00 – 12.45 \nPlenary 2: Classics at Oxbridge\, Lady Mitchell Hall \n12.45 – 14.00 \nOptional tour of a College (pre-booked): Please meet your student guides in front of the main entrance to the Law Faculty Building \n  \n14.15 – 14.45First Set of Lectures\n \nA picture is worth a thousand words: ancient art as Classics\nDr Carrie Vout (Christ’s College) \nHow much harm did slavery do to the Greeks and Romans?\nProf. Robin Osborne (King’s College) \nOedipus the Atheist\nProf. Tim Whitmarsh (St John’s College) \nGreek Taster Session \n14.45 – 15.15 \nQ & A Sessions for teachers \n15.15 – 15.45 \nSecond Set of Lectures\n \nWhy doesn’t the earth fall?\nMr Nick Denyer (Trinity College) \nCracking an unknown script: how Linear B was deciphered\nDr Rupert Thompson (Selwyn College) \nMetamorphosis (upwards and downwards)\nDr Ingo Gildenhard (King’s College) \nGreek Taster Session
