Undergraduate Study

 
Murray Edwards College

An in-person programme open to all but aimed at those in Years 12 and 13 who are interested in languages and literature.

Hosted by Murray Edward College, the Murray Edwards Sixth Form Lecture Series will dive into English Literature, French, Spanish, Classics and many more literature and language-based subjects by exploring many commonly studied A Level texts and topics in new and interesting ways.

Join us at the College from 17:30 for refreshments and informal conversations with current students. The lectures themselves will begin at 18:00 and will be an hour in duration.

You do not need to fill out a form to attend the lectures: it is free and open to anyone.  However, if you would like to be kept up to date regarding the sessions and receive any post-lecture resources, please complete this form.
