Summer School in Old Irish

Scuola Estiva di Medievalismo Irlandese
e
IIa Conferenza di Medievalisti

The aim of the summer schools is to facilitate students who wish to improve their knowledge of Old Irish but who are not in a position to sign up for full year courses. Each course involves 60 hours contact time, spread over 10 days and there are three levels: Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. Students opting for the Intermediate and Advanced options will be asked to take a short test at the beginning of the course so as to identify the best stream for their needs. A video featuring interviews with students from the 2007 courses is posted on the website: http://www.irishmedievalists.com/.

NB! These summer schools are entirely focussed on the acquisition of Old Irish language skills. For a broader exposure to Celtic studies, , taught by leading experts in the field, we would like to draw your attention to the Summer School of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (http://www.dias.ie/) the dates of which are 14th – 26th July .
