ASNC Summer School, in association with the Sutton Trust
From 17th to 20th August 2010, the Department will be hosting a Sutton Trust Summer School in Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic. The aim of the Summer School is to offer Year 12 pupils from state schools an insight into the life of an undergraduate at Cambridge University, by staying in a College, attending lectures and classes, and participating in social activities.
The ASNC Summer School is an opportunity to explore early medieval Britain, Ireland and Scandinavia through a number of different disciplines: history, languages, literature, and palaeography (the study of manuscripts). Students will be able to choose from a selection of seminars, lectures and classes, depending on their individual interests. Participants will also have the chance to see some Anglo-Saxon and Celtic manuscripts at first hand. No previous knowledge of the subjects studied is expected or required.
More information on the Summer School can be found on the Cambridge University Summer School pages and on the Sutton Trust website.
