Nowhere is this more telling than in the province of Britannia, which was home to a substantial proportion of the Roman army, but also saw the development of towns, villas and art. In this special topic, you will have the opportunity to study this exciting topic from the material remains themselves. Focussing on areas such as the army, urbanism, religion and art. You will be introduced to these themes through lectures and seminars, and you will then be able to enhance your knowledge through visits to key museums and sites, including a Roman town and a legionary fortress.
You will learn some of the practical skills we use to uncover new information, such as geophysics and the analysis of excavated materials, and try them for yourself in our world class laboratories. No prior knowledge of the Roman history or archaeology is required.
Join us for a summer of British culture and explore our world-leading research.
When you join the International Summer School 2018, you will study up to six exciting topics across the four weeks you are with us. Each topic is delivered by an internationally-recognised member of academic staff at the University of Southampton working in partnership with one of our many enthusiastic postgraduate research students. Across three engaging and interactive classroom sessions, they will introduce you to their topic of choice, explaining why it is important to them and offering you an insight into the world-class research environment they work in.
You will find each topic is a friendly and engaging experience: you will normally study in groups with around 15 – 20 fellow students, allowing you to form good working relationships and have the opportunity to contribute and discuss in class.
Each topic includes a guided trip or excursion to an important cultural site which is relevant to the studies you are undertaking, helping you to put the knowledge you have gained into a real-world context.
You will receive supporting materials in advance of the topic so you can feel well-prepared and you will be provided with a pack of information so you can continue to explore the topic and develop your interest afterwards.
Recognition
