*This summer school caters to students with interests in a range of arts, humanities, and social science subjects, ranging across a number of different kinds of sources, theories, and methods. It is designed to give you opportunities to deepen your understanding of the subjects that interest you the most, while perhaps being introduced to new disciplines along the way. There will be options for each academic session, and you will be able to express preferences about the kinds of classes that you'd like to attend ahead of time. In the past, this summer school has included sessions of particular interest to prospective applicants for Archaeology, Classics, English, HSPS, Music, and Theology, though this year's exact content has yet to be finalised.
