Undergraduate Ancient Rome Summer School

What is the Summer School?
A stimulating introduction to the topography of the city, its architecture and art, the latest discoveries and new developments in archaeological approaches. Every September the BSR welcomes around 25 undergraduates for a 12-day intensive programme of visits to the sites, monuments and museums of ancient Rome and its vicinity. These visits are augmented with a series of evening lectures.

Who is it for?
To be eligible to attend the Summer School students must be studying classics, ancient history, classical archaeology and related subjects at undergraduate level on a course that is taught in English. Places are limited and highly sought after.

When is it?
Our next course will run in September 2027 (arrival on 2 September and departure on 12 September 2027)

What does it cost?

Course fee: €1400 for full board* accommodation in a single room or €1275 for a shared room and including in-course travel and site fees but excluding travel to and from Rome. Some bursaries are available.
* Please note no dinner is provided on Saturday, nor lunch and dinner on Sunday and on Free Study days.
