Welcome The University of Cambridge has an 800-year history of innovative ideas, influences and discoveries, which have helped to shape and change the world for centuries. They continue to do so, on a daily basis. For over 90 years, the University's International Summer Programmes have also reflected this exciting mixture of tradition and innovation. Our programmes are recognised for their excellent teaching, fascinating courses, and inspiring lectures and talks. We welcome hundreds of new and returning students (undergraduates, graduates, and adults of all backgrounds and professions) to the University each summer to learn from some of its finest academics – and from each other. With representatives from over 50 countries and every age group from 18 to 80+, there is no shortage of people with whom you can share new ideas and opinions. Studying with us can help enhance your degree course, your career prospects, your communication skills, or simply feed your love of learning. You can continue the exchange of ideas outside the classroom: over meals in College, or as you use free time to explore this vibrant, bustling city, and visit its historic Colleges, museums and galleries, go punting on the river, or venture out on one of our weekend excursions. You can choose which of the four Colleges - Clare, Gonville and Caius, Newnham or Selwyn - will be your home whilst you are here. In a rapidly-changing world, there is always a need for a more global outlook. Every year our students tell us how our Summer Programmes have helped to open their minds, broaden their perspectives, make discoveries, enable connections and foster friendships with people from all corners of the globe. Our programmes can be life-changing! Join us and see for yourself.

“Classes are rich and rewarding in their variety and depth; plenary lectures are stimulating and fun; the international, intergenerational student body is a delight… It's no wonder students return year after year.” Ben Wiley, United States of America 4
| www.ice.cam.ac.uk/intsummer
Our teaching staff With so many excellent lecturers and differing approaches, you will discover the richness which characterises the 'Cambridge experience'. Open-access programmes Our Programme Directors draw on an understanding of current trends, long-standing contacts with other senior academics, and knowledge of rising stars in their specialist field to select Course Directors and create inspirational programmes. They also agree the scope of each course and help to plan the series of plenary lectures and more general evening talks. Experienced communicators Courses are taught by a combination of leading Cambridge scholars and guest subject specialists who bring a wealth of knowledge to the academic programmes. Course Directors devise and deliver the courses. There is no single teaching style, all are different. Classes are limited in size to encourage group interaction and a more personal learning experience.
Student feedback helps to confirm the popularity of Course Directors, and endorses the claim that our teaching staff are very effective communicators. For our English Law and Legal Methods programme, specialist subjects are taught in seminars by renowned legal experts from the Faculty of Law. All courses and seminars are supplemented by plenary lectures. These are delivered by Plenary Lecturers who focus on a specific angle, interpreting their area of scholarship to fit the plenary theme for each programme. Ranked amongst these eminent speakers have been Nobel and other major prize-winners.
See pages 18-79 (programmes and course descriptions), pages 80-85 (Course Directors) and our website for further information.

Writing essays and academic credit You can choose to write one or more essays for evaluation in order to gain credit from your home institution, or simply to assimilate the teaching more fully. Evaluation is optional, but if you are applying as part of a university or institutional group, your home institution may require this, in order to award you credit. Essays will be assessed against the University of Cambridge standard. Participants receive written feedback and a grade. You can write one essay per course/seminar. Libraries and computing You will have access to a variety of libraries while studying with us. You will also receive a University computer account with internet access. Depending on the College you stay in, you should be able to connect your own laptop, or other devices, to their network.

Living in Cambridge You will have the unique opportunity to live in a Cambridge College steeped in history and enjoy the experience of dining in one of the magnificent halls. College accommodation You can choose to stay in one of four Colleges; Clare, Gonville and Caius, Newnham or Selwyn. Each is very different in character, but all offer a warm welcome. Here you will meet fellow students studying other subjects, and become familiar with Cambridge in a way that few are privileged to experience. All four Colleges are within easy walking distance of the main teaching site. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the College where you decide to live. Accommodation is in single rooms normally occupied by undergraduates. You can choose a basic room with a bed and washbasin; or one with en suite bath/shower facilities. Breakfast and evening meals are included in the cost. Double rooms are not available. There is an extremely limited number of twin en suite rooms in Clare College and Selwyn College. Please contact us for further information before applying for this option.
Non-residential option If you live nearby, or you would prefer to find your own accommodation, you are welcome to attend the Summer Programmes as a non-resident. Cambridge city centre Cambridge is a vibrant university city and benefits from a daily market, a great variety of shops, restaurants, music venues, theatres, pubs and cafĂŠs. The city centre offers many amenities and also retains great beauty and charm. During the summer you will get to know the quiet back streets, College courtyards, and treasures, such as the Wren Library and the Polar Museum, that tourists to the city often miss.

Clare College Dine in the magnificent surroundings of Old Court, which is just a short stroll from your room through picturesque gardens and over the river. The College dates back to the 14th century, and is ideally situated between the city centre and your lecture rooms. Founded in 1326 as University Hall and re-founded in 1338, Clare is the second oldest Cambridge College. Old Court was built between 1638 and 1715 by local architects, Grumbold and Son, who also built Clare's unique bridge, now the oldest on the Cam. Spacious Memorial Court, where you will be living, is just across the river and was designed by Gilbert Scott in the 1920s. Dinner, made from locally-sourced products, is served in the intimate Small Hall overlooking Old Court, or the imposing 17th-century Great Hall. Breakfast is self-service. Both are a leisurely walk past the beautiful Fellows' Garden and over Clare Bridge.

The graceful Queen Anne style buildings are set around the extensive lawns and flower beds of the beautiful gardens. You can choose a shared-facility single room or an en suite room situated upstairs on the first or second floors.

Events In addition to our evening talks, we organise a number of evening events to give you the opportunity to relax and meet fellow students. These include concerts, ceilidhs (folk dances), talks and readings. Optional walking tours provide the ideal opportunity to learn more about the University and the Colleges. "The walking tour gave you a good sense of the lie of the land. And I learned about places that I wanted to go back to in my own time (and did)." Entertainment Cambridge also offers a wide variety of evening and weekend activities during the summer, including University-run events, music festivals, exhibitions, punting and a season of Shakespeare plays performed in the College gardens.

The Revolution erupting in France in 1789 shook history to the core. An attempt to reshape an ancient kingdom by reason quickly sank into bloody hysteria. Why were Revolutionary hopes dashed? Why did the Revolution provoke such bitter hatred? What happened when France spread 'liberty and equality' to the rest of Europe – by force?
Between them, 2,000 years ago, the Romans and the Chinese dominated almost half of the world. How did their empires work and how were their subjects affected? Visionary leadership, ideology, bureaucracy, sociology, geography: were there common factors to explain the rise and fall of these powers? Comparison clarifies the issues.

The English Renaissance saw popular culture come under attack from an increasingly radical elite. It was a time of popular uprising and revolt to protect ancient traditions; of iconoclasm and terror; of saints and soldiers. A time of gunpowder, treason and plot. We discover the dark side of English Renaissance culture.
From first to last, Shakespeare wrote plays about kings. Their tyranny, their arrogance, their downfalls excited his imagination. We will look at two angry kings, Lear and Prospero, examining their relationship with family and entourage, their doomed rulership, asking ourselves what drew Shakespeare again and again to create these overbearing, turbulent figures?
Religion, revenge and revolt in the English Renaissance Siân Griffiths
Shakespeare's kings: King Lear and The Tempest Simon Browne
A15
British politics and political thought, 1600-1800 Dr Graham McCann This course introduces key figures, theories and themes from two centuries of British political thought. It includes Hobbes and Locke (political obligation); Hume and Smith (wealth and virtue); Burke and Paine (revolution). It also explores common concerns – liberty; obligation; civic virtue; the claim 'to know better' – and considers their enduring relevance.
Group B: 11.45am – 1.00pm B11
International politics in a global age I Various speakers (This is a three-part course which can only be taken with A11 and C11.)
B12
The Cold War: clash of the Superpowers Dr Jonathan Davis The Cold War divided the world for nearly fifty years. This course considers when the Superpowers' struggle for supremacy began, assesses key flashpoints including the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam conflict, and asks why it ended when it did. (Not to be taken with Ma5 in the History Programme.)

Western philosophy begins with the Ancient Greeks. This course is an introduction to some of the key elements in the thought of some great Ancient Greek philosophers and some great medieval philosophers. They are the pre-Socratics, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Anselm, and Aquinas.
Europe has been drinking in the lastchance saloon: stagnant economies, restless electorates, its second largest country heading for the Brexit door, asymmetric wars and desperate refugees testing its borders. This course explains how Europe reached this unhappy predicament, and how its governments are attempting to overcome its current crisis.
Great ancient and medieval philosophers Dr Karim Esmail
Europe present and future Max Beber
B14
Art and power: how value is made Siân Griffiths Cultural capitals are a defining feature of our world. But how did certain cities become so dominant as centres for art? And how did the value systems, which define the kind of art we make and collect, actually form? From the Renaissance to the present day, did we get the art that we deserved?

England at the crossroads: Jane Austen, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Blake Simon Browne From the late 18th century, industrialisation was radically altering Britain. The Romantics saw tragedy, Austen comedy. They wrote with a determination to expose the coarsening of the national character and create a literature exploring the 'meddling intellect' with a sustained vibrancy that makes this one of Britain's richest literary periods.
Group C: 2.00pm – 3.15pm C11
C14
(This is a three-part course which can only be taken with A11 and B11.)
This course examines English 'Renaissance' art, c.1500–1625. We consider the visual arts in a wide range of media, including architecture, painting, sculpture, printmaking and the luxury arts in their social and historical contexts. English art's relationship to continental models will be critically assessed. One class will be held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
International politics in a global age I Various speakers
C12
Loves in literature: from Shakespeare to Seamus Heaney Elizabeth Rawlinson-Mills The Greeks had four words for love; in English we have just one. We consider love in all its forms through a study of key literary texts, from William Blake to D H Lawrence, from Shakespearean tragedy to modern elegy. What does love mean, and how do writers set it down on paper?
C13
Fighting for Hitler: collaboration in the Second World War Dr Andrew Lacey From Finland to North Africa, from Spain to India, thousands of men and women volunteered to fight for, or alongside, Nazi Germany. These 'fighters for Hitler', their history, motivations and experiences, provide a radically different perspective on the Second World War.
English Renaissance art Dr Katherine Isard
C15
Villains in literature: "something wicked this way comes" Simon Browne Macbeth, Frankenstein, Kurtz, Hamm - all are monsters, all are differently monstrous. We will look at how they reflect ideas about leadership, science, empire and gender in order to understand better why these literary figures continue to interest us, and why we keep returning, however aghast, to "The horror! The horror!".

The Victorians continue to fascinate and absorb, with their dynamism, their contradictions, their principles and their shortcomings. Their world can seem a different planet, yet it was the birthplace of our own. We will look at the Victorians in their own terms, their ideals, their failings and their dreams.
We consider how economic analysis can guide the formulation and evaluation of public policy, exploring a variety of public policy issues including healthcare, environment policy, pensions provision and public finance, with examples drawn from the UK. Students will be required to undertake classwork.

We trace the history of the English language from its Anglo-Saxon roots through to its current status of 'glocal' language. We consider some key influences in its history - Shakespeare, the King James Bible, science, the British Empire, the dictionary age - and some dialect forms, from American English through to Liverpudlian 'Scouse'.
We explore the multidisciplinary nature of the study of behaviour. You will learn about different ways of explaining behaviour, including from the perspectives of mechanism, development, function and phylogeny. Classes will be supported with exciting hands-on activities and we plan to have some 'special guests'.
A short history of English Dr Karen Ottewell
A25
Words, deeds and democracy: British politics and political thought, 1800 to the present Dr Graham McCann We focus on the ideas and actions that accompanied the period in which Britain gradually became a modern democracy. Looking at liberal, socialist and conservative thinkers of the era, and also practical social movements, we examine what is distinctive about the British Constitution, as well as, more broadly, the nature of modern political theory.

We shall develop simple macroeconomic models and use them to understand significant macroeconomic events, past and present. You will develop an understanding of the causes and consequences of the current macroeconomic crisis, phenomena such as recessions, inflation and unemployment. You will also be required to deliver group presentations.
At the heart of the philosophy of mind lies the question: what is consciousness? We shall examine and evaluate the canonical responses to this question in the first week of the course before exploring some implications, to include: artificial intelligence, free will, personal identity, and the problem of other minds.

Living film: a life in pictures? Dr Frederick Baker Drawing on the latest film theory and practice, we approach the development of cinema from a dynamic angle, addressing film's component parts – image, script, dialogue, set, editing, producing – as though each were a 'body part' of a living organism. Experience worldwide film from the inside, from blockbuster to art house.

Jewelled pages: the art of the book in Persia and Japan Dr Laura Moretti and Dr Christine van Ruymbeke Both Japan and Persia have long and intriguing book-making traditions. Their literature takes the shape of fascinating artefacts, created for both highbrow and lowbrow audiences. This pioneering course brings together unexpected similarities and obvious differences, offering exciting, comparative angles, modern interpretations and hands-on experience of these two rich Eastern book cultures.

(This is a three-part course which can only be taken with A21 and B21.)
Anyone can shoot pictures, but good films are made before filming begins. We explore low-tech, rapidprototyping techniques which allow analysis and experience of film-making before the cameras roll. The course combines classroom sessions from a practitioner with practical exercises: location scouting, paper editing, casting and pitching. (If possible, bring a mobile phone to take short film clips and your own laptop.)
International politics in a global age II Various speakers
C22
Dickens and the Victorian underworld: Great Expectations Ulrike Horstmann-Guthrie Dickens's obsession with crime and his fascination with London shaped many of his mystery and love plots. Our discussions will centre on what is considered his best work, Great Expectations, but also touch on extracts from Oliver Twist, Bleak House and Our Mutual Friend.
C23
Great modern philosophers Dr Karim Esmail The modern period of philosophy begins in the 17th century. This course is an introduction to some of the key elements in the thought of some of the great philosophers of this period: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Kant, Marx, and Wittgenstein.

Group A: 9.00am – 10.15am A31
A33
In this course we shall consider what role philosophy can play in mediating the conflict(s) between science and religion. Does God's foreknowledge pose a greater threat to our freedom than either determinism or indeterminism? Are Creationism and evolution competing theories? And can parables be used scientifically?
A slightly different view of Islam: we explore the controversial origins of Islam and its first two centuries of development. Next, we consider the intellectual and political conditions that generated the early Islamic world's intense interest in science. Finally we look at the surprising and profound influence early Islam had on Western Christianity, science, and culture.

2,000 years ago, Rome ruled a sixth of all the world's people. Slow coalescence, sustained unity and rapid collapse: how well integrated was this empire and what continental or regional patterns of military, political, ethical, social and environmental conditions permitted or determined its rise and fall?
In Shakespeare's great romantic comedies, a happy ending is always in store - but not necessarily for everyone. So who wins and who loses, and why? In this course, we will see how laughter and wish fulfilment can go hand in hand with profound attention to some of the harsher truths of life.
Science, superstition and religion: key questions Dr Alex Carter

Early Islamic science Piers Bursill-Hall
Three great Comedies: Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice and Twelfth Night Dr Paul Suttie
Group B: 11.45am – 1.00pm A35
Introducing psychology: mind, mental process and behaviour Dr John Lawson Somewhere beyond the intuitive abilities that most of us have when dealing with other people lies the science known as psychology. In its relatively short history, psychology has changed direction, focus and approach several times. From introspection and psychoanalysis, through the 'cognitive revolution' to fMRI scanning, psychology remains one of the most fascinating areas of science. (Not to be taken with B36 in ISP Term III.)
B31
The Roman garden: architecture, illusion and plantsmanship Caroline Holmes Ancient Roman Gardens such as Hadrian's Villa, inspired Renaissance and Landscape designs. Commercial Pompeii was sealed by the eruption of Vesuvius as was upmarket Herculaneum. European archaeology has revealed cloisters, terraces, statuary, water features and plantings (real and imagined) across their Empire – England's Fishbourne Roman Palace is a notable example.
B32
The landscape history of Britain Dr Nicholas James The archaeology on the ground, the patterns of fields and woods, villages, towns and the roads that link them, the boundaries of districts and properties and the names for these places too, all are clues to 10,000 years of England's landscape history from the Ice Age to the Romans, the Middle Ages and the present day.

We begin with ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian medicine, and the medical revolution of the Ancient Greeks. We discover how unimportant Hippocrates was, that the Oath isn't Hippocratic at all and that the beginnings of medicine stemmed from 40 wild years in Alexandria. Finally, we consider Galen, and the problem for a Christian of practising Pagan medicine.
No 20th-century author has been more influential than Tolkien, and The Lord of the Rings all but created modern fantasy. This course spends the first week looking at Tolkien's work and its adaptations, including Jackson's films, and the second week on later fantasies indebted to, or reacting against, Tolkien's example.
Ancient medicine Piers Bursill-Hall

B34
About face: portraiture from Titian to Lucian Freud Mary Conochie We examine portraiture from the late 15th to the 20th century, assessing how artists meet the challenge of depicting society's changing perception of itself. Symbolism within portraiture will also be discussed and how pose, glance, gesture and dress affect our interpretation of the subjects. One class will be held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.

The abnormal mind: an introduction to psychopathology Dr John Lawson This course introduces a variety of clinical conditions including schizophrenia, autism, depression and anxiety. It also aims to contrast differing models of explanation that in turn lead to differing approaches in treatment. Overall, the hope is to encourage a more critical conception of what constitutes abnormality. (Not to be taken with A35 in ISP Term III.)
Group C: 2.00pm – 3.15pm C31
Castles, palaces and houses of British monarchs Caroline Holmes Whether stronghold or private domain, there is a romance to royal dwellings: fashions, tastes and social mores, ancient and modern, can be traced in their architecture and gardens. We explore the designs and settings of royal residences such as Stirling, Windsor, Hampton Court, Buckingham Palace, Balmoral and Sandringham.
C32
British politics at the dawn of a new era Carina O'Reilly We will look at the future of British politics as the UK embarks on a journey into uncharted territory. We will ask whether the parties are fit to tackle the vast cultural gulfs exposed by the referendum – or whether we could see the rise of extreme populists in the years to come.
C33
The Scientific Revolution Piers Bursill-Hall The Scientific Revolution c.1500-c.1770 signalled the start of modern science. Although the period was less revolutionary than you might expect, and changes sometimes happened for remarkably non-scientific reasons, no period in the history of science was quite so dramatic. It makes for an amazing story.
C34
Challenging the past: European art movements, 1800-1900 Mary Conochie European 19th-century art began and ended with anti-rational movements: Romanticism and Symbolism. Why? We review the century's artistic movements, and the way Impressionism, Divisionism, Symbolism and Postimpressionism anticipated Modernism by challenging traditional laws of drawing and the use of colour. Artists discussed include Manet, Degas, Whistler, Seurat, Van Gogh, Gauguin and CĂŠzanne.

This course compares the achievements of the very different Athenian and Spartan states, culminating in their drawn-out struggle to control the Greek world in the late 5th century BC. So far as is possible, we will base the assessment on what the Greeks wrote about themselves.
Ancient Egypt, at first isolated in its river valley, gradually opened up to share and exchange goods, ideas and populations with Africa, the Mediterranean world, western Asia and, finally, Greece and Rome. The course uses history and archaeology to examine Egypt's changing trade, political and military relationships with other states and peoples.
Athens and Sparta: rivals for Greek domination Dr Paul Millett
Aa2
The rise of civilisation: Mesopotamia and Mexico Dr Nicholas James The Middle East and tropical Mexico have long provided case studies of the conditions for rising population, concentration of political power, growth of towns, technological intensification and the long-term consequences of these momentous developments. Our understanding of telling similarities and differences shifts continually with continuing archaeological research.

Roman art and archaeology Dr Tiziana D'Angelo This course focuses on Roman art and material culture from c.300 BC - AD 400. We will explore how the development of architecture, sculpture, painting and minor arts across the Roman empire offer valuable insights into contemporary society, shedding light on urban life, religious beliefs, funerary practices, political ideology and cultural identity.
Group Ea: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Ea1

This course explores women in the Ancient Mediterranean world through art and archaeology from the Early Bronze Age Cycladic, Minoan and Mycenaean cultures up to the Roman period: how women were portrayed, how roles and influence were transformed and why gender is such a vigorous and challenging area of scholarship.
Ancient Egyptian religion seems exotic and inaccessible. This course will make sense of the bewildering number and form of the Ancient Egyptian gods and explain how this religion and its institutions fulfilled the state's and individuals' political, social and spiritual needs in Egypt for more than three millennia.
Women in the Ancient Mediterranean world: roles and representation Dr Anastasia Christophilopoulou
Ea2
The poetry of Augustan Rome: elegy, ode and epic Dr Charlie Weiss A survey and analysis of the fundamental texts and contexts of Ancient Rome's most famous poets: Horace, Vergil and Ovid. We will begin with the background of Catullus and the gutsy poetry of the 50s and 40s BC and conclude with a study of Ovid's enchanting and elegant masterpiece, Metamorphoses.
"Ra has placed the king on his throne forever": Ancient Egyptian religion Dr Corinne Duhig FSA
Ea4
From shards to scrolls: how the Old Testament came to be written Dr Nathan MacDonald The rich and various books of the Old Testament came from the diverse cultures of the Ancient world: its wisdom literature, folk stories and legendary histories. We will delve into inscriptions, scrolls and archaeology to situate the Old Testament in its context.

Week 2 (16 – 22 July) Group Ab: 11.15am – 12.45pm Ab1
City of Athens Dr Paul Millett What did life in Athens mean for a woman or a slave? If there was a degree of political equality for the citizens, how different were the lifestyles of the rich and poor? We combine the evidence of literature with archaeology and topography to address these and other key questions about living in ancient Athens.
Ab2
Ancient empires: hollow glories? Dr Nicholas James What did early imperialism contribute to the course of world history? Comparing unrelated cases - the Qin and Han of China with the Incas reveals both strengths and weaknesses in common. Assessing the historical significance of those qualities depends on our own criteria - military, political, ethical, sociological, environmental.

The fall of Rome to the beginnings of England: Visigoths to Sutton Hoo Dr Sam Newton The Visigothic sack of Rome in 410 (and Vandal and Ostrogothic attacks) signalled the fall of the Western Roman Empire and its transformation into the nation-states of Europe. We will consider the emergence of 'England' from rival Anglo-Saxon and British kingdoms, ending with the magnificent Sutton Hoo royal ship-burial.
Ab4
Greek heroes and their world: Odysseus, Achilles, Helen, Medea… Dr Jan Parker After Mycenae, the incoming Greeks came into a landscape rich in tombs and memories and myths of male and female heroes of a past age: of extraordinary figures whose stories had to be told and retold. We will explore their challenging lives and 'heroic' values through Homer, tragedy, art and sculpture.
Group Eb: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Eb1
Eb3
This course will deal with the fascinating culture and religion of the Etruscans and explore how their sacred books, divination rituals, divinities, sacred architecture and funerary customs had a major impact on Roman and even later Christian religious practices. The rich material culture illuminates the Etruscans in life and in death.
The story of Rome as told by some of its most powerful storytellers: Livy, Tacitus and Suetonius. From the beginning, the entire Mediterranean was fascinated with the story of Rome's rise to power; we will examine how Romans themselves understood their own success - and failure - in terms still resonant today.
Etruria and early Roman culture and religion Dr Margarita Gleba
Eb2
Great Ancient Greek philosphers: Plato and Aristotle Dr Karim Esmail This course introduces some of the key elements in the thought of Plato and Aristotle. We consider Plato's views on the soul and its immortality, and in particular his views on the perfectly just city-state. We also explore Aristotle's views on (among other things) language and logic, change and cause, and 'happiness'.
Kingdom, Republic and Empire: the story of power in Rome Dr Charlie Weiss
Eb4
Investigating the cosmos: controversies in ancient astronomy Piers Bursill-Hall Every early society wondered about the heavens; the ancient Greeks started a particularly bold project of finding a physical model of the cosmos and the extraordinary idea of using geometry to explain the heavens. We look at early cosmology and how physical and mathematical arguments developed around Plato, Aristotle and their successors.

We live in a large, spiral galaxy that is part of a vast cosmic web of structure. In this course we will explore the rich variety of galaxies, from 'ordinary' to exotic, near to far, and will learn about the methods astronomers use to study them, from advanced telescopes and space missions to computer simulations.
Classroom sessions and practicals will illustrate the variety and importance of microbes, with an emphasis on human health. We will isolate, grow and identify bacteria from different sources, see how they move, investigate how antibiotics work and how resistance is spread. We will also delve into the world of pathogens and 'unculturables', and touch on the latest developments that are revolutionising the way we view microbes.
Exploring galaxies: from the Milky Way to the cosmic web Dr Judith Croston

Small worlds: an introduction to microbiology * Dr Martin Welch
P05
An introduction to social psychology Dr John Lawson Within the realm of psychology, social psychology is concerned with how the behaviour and thoughts of an individual are influenced by the social context, ie other people around them. This course explores a number of differing contexts (small groups, crowds, authority figures) and examines the evidence that seeks to explain how this context shapes what we do and how we think.
Term I, week 2 (16 – 22 July) 11.00am – 12.45pm P06

Every day we experience the wonder of physics, applying fundamental physics to understand how the world around us works. However, the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity present us with some counterintuitive surprises. We will look at their formulation, experimental methods in practical sessions, and solve problems to help us unravel the tantalising puzzles that these topics present.
Despite 60 years of research, autism remains a puzzle: many people remain unclear about what it actually is. Even a leading researcher in the field has called it 'the enigma'. This course provides an introduction to autism and Asperger syndrome, examining the diagnostic features that define the condition, some of the research currently taking place and, finally, the interventions and treatments available and how we think.

P09
Manufacturing plays a vital role in the realisation of new ideas and opportunities for economic and social progress. We trace its emergence from long before the Industrial Revolution to the present day. We explore the nature of modern manufacturing from research and development, through design, production, distribution, service and sustainability, and end with a glimpse of future trends.
How and why do cells develop different and specific functions? Why is this important and how is this controlled? We will investigate how the information in our DNA is copied, how it is turned into a useable form, and what happens when this goes wrong.

This course explores the interaction of light with matter and how this may be used to reveal information from what's inside our bodies, to what's inside a distant galaxy. The course introduces the basic ideas from Quantum Mechanics but assumes very little mathematical background and is not aimed at students currently specialising in physics.
This course on the mathematics of cryptography introduces some of the most important codes and ciphers. Topics range from simple substitution ciphers and the Enigma machine of World War II, to modern cryptography such as RSA used in internet encryption. You will need to be confident with basic arithmetic and algebra.

Forensic archaeology and anthropology: an introduction Dr Corinne Duhig FSA Forensic archaeologists and anthropologists are often involved in suspicious-death cases, helping investigators interpret who the victim is and the events of their death and burial. This course explains their work from a practitioner's perspective: explaining who they are, what they do and how they contribute to the investigation: from the field, to the mortuary, to the lab.
Term II, week 2 (30 July – 5 August) 11.00am – 12.45pm P14
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases Professor Derek Smith Most morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases today is caused by pathogens that evolve to escape immunity induced by prior infection or vaccination, or to become resistant to drugs. Relatedly, non-human pathogens sometimes evolve to cross species-barriers and humans posing pandemic threats. We explore the evolution of such pathogens from a scientific and public health perspective.
P15
An introduction to animal behaviour Dr Paul Elliott We explore the multidisciplinary nature of the study of behaviour. You will learn about different ways of explaining behaviour, including from the perspectives of mechanism, development, function and phylogeny. Classes will be supported with exciting hands-on activities and we plan to have some 'special guests'.

Unveiling the Universe Dr Robin Catchpole FRAS This course gives an overview of the current state of knowledge about the contents and evolution of our universe, ranging from dark matter, vacuum energy, black holes and the birth and death of stars, to the latest results about the planets and origin of our solar system. Finally, we consider if we are alone.
P17
Fossils, evolution and the history of life Dr Peter Sheldon A wide-ranging introduction to this inspiring subject, showing how fossils get preserved, sometimes in exquisite detail, and studying the principles of evolution and natural selection.

This course presents an opportunity to learn more about the wonderful, witty and subtle storytelling to be found in The Canterbury Tales. We will explore the complex and, in many respects, surprisingly contemporary questions posed by Chaucer's great work, whilst at the same time increasing confidence in reading Middle English.Â
This course introduces the key members of the Bloomsbury Group, including Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, Lytton Strachey and John Maynard Keynes, and explores their contribution to the fields of art, literature, politics and philosophy. We will look at examples and extracts of their work and consider their contribution to cultural life in early 20th-century Britain.

Exploring the magic, sex and violence to be found in medieval romances, we will learn about chivalry, courtly love and the tensions that arise when Christian values intersect with the pagan supernatural. Works covered will include Gawain and the Green Knight and Chaucer's Knight's Tale, alongside other medieval romances.
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? This course explores two of her best-known texts, together with extracts from relevant essays and short stories, to discover why she is regarded as one of the greatest British writers of the early 20th century.

Three great British fantasists: Lewis Carroll, Mervyn Peake, J R R Tolkien Dr John Lennard
Over the course of this week we will read stories by Bowen, Pritchett, Carter and Gordimer which pose serious questions about the world around us. Can appearances be trusted? What goes on beneath the surface of a life? What shape is a 'short story', and what is it for?
Far from being simple escapism, or for children, fantasy is often used to confront complex topical issues. We consider Carroll's Alice books as psychology, Peake's Titus Groan and Gormenghast as satire, and The Lord of the Rings as history, asking throughout about the persistent recourse to fantasy evident in much modern writing.

What happens to the classical idea of tragedy in modern dramas, when the world of gods and heroes, ritual and fate is no longer available? We shall explore landmark works by Ibsen, Chekhov, Brecht, Miller and Beckett. Did tragedy die, or just change its form? Does its ghost still walk?
That we have an 'unconscious' mind is now widely assumed, though the concept does not seem to have been fully formulated until the early 20th century. We investigate the concept of the unconscious as promoted by Freud and developed by later psychoanalysts, focusing on how Coleridge, Eliot and Heaney engage in discovering what they (and we) might know.
Variations on the tragic in modern drama Dr Fred Parker
Hb2
"Reading too much into it?": current debates in literary theory Dr Jenny Bavidge We look at some hotly contested and thorny questions in modern literary theory, focusing particularly on ideas around reader-reception theory, feminist and queer theory. By reading the same short story through different theoretical approaches, we consider whether there is ever a 'wrong' answer in literary criticism. How far can we go in our interpretations?
Poems and the unconscious: Coleridge, Eliot and Heaney Dr Stephen Logan

Fictions of Empire: Kipling, Conrad, Scott Dr John Lennard Seventy years after the formal end of the British Empire, how might we read the fiction it produced? Kipling's Kim (1901) and Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) offer sharply contrasting, seemingly incompatible views of empire in practice, yet both are reflected in Scott's The Jewel in the Crown (1966).

Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice Dr Alexander Lindsay We look at how Jane Austen's earlier novels were originally cast in epistolary form, how both explore the inner life and social relationships of young women through a pair of contrasted sisters and how Pride and Prejudice develops the themes of its predecessor in a comedy less light-hearted than at first apparent.

Ancient Greek drama from Aeschylus to Menander: poetry, spectacle and plot Dr Charlie Weiss The Theatre of Dionysus at the base of the Acropolis in Athens witnessed some three centuries of extraordinary dramatic creativity: this course is a survey of and critical introduction to the work of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides (three tragedians), Aristophanes and Menander (two comic playwrights).

Hardy's Wessex in an age of transition: Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the d'Urbervilles Ulrike Horstmann-Guthrie In Far From the Madding Crowd, Hardy used the term 'Wessex' for the first time to signify his geographical territory, thus establishing his preferred subject matter: country people in a rural landscape living “between custom and education, between work and ideas, between love of place and experience of change”. We explore this theme further in Tess of the d'Urbervilles.

Romantic madness Dr Stephen Logan Madness has long been strongly associated with the visionary power for which poets can be valued; and during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the conception of poetic excellence shifted to make madness seem a condition for achieving it. We examine conceptions of enabling madness in Cowper, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Clare.

Literary fiction may move or amuse us, but can we learn anything significant from it? We examine this issue from a philosophical perspective and ask what kinds of knowledge can be gained from literary work. How is such cognitive reward communicated and is it necessary for aesthetic appreciation? (This is a double course which can only be taken with Hd1.)
Welcome to the dark side of the Renaissance imagination, where destructive passions reign supreme, and madness and murder are never far away. We look closely at three popular plays (Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, Webster's The Duchess of Malfi, and The Changeling by Middleton and Rowley), with their fascinating portrayals of the pitfalls of power, honour, desire - and revenge.

This course moves from the first 'Golden Age' of British children's literature in the late 19th and early 20th century to the explosion of popular and innovative fiction and poetry in the late 20th century, with reference to the works of Barrie, Rowling and Pullman, among others.
Is Eden real? The post-Christian consensus is 'no', but the senses in which it has been understood are perhaps no longer widely recognised. We will look at a range of major works by Dryden, Bunyan, Milton and Marvell, with a focus on how their beliefs about Eden manifest themselves in minutiae of form and style.

Gd1 Jane Austen: Emma and Persuasion Dr Alexander Lindsay With Emma, Jane Austen offers once more the emotional education of a handsome and witty heroine, but this time enjoying a unique financial independence. In the posthumous Persuasion, the moral decisions of the heroine are set against the background of social changes arising from the Napoleonic wars.
Gd2
From Homer to Vergil: the texts and contexts of Greek and Roman epic Dr Charlie Weiss In this course we will go beyond the great stories of the wrath of Achilles, the wanderings of Odysseus, the journey of the Argonauts and Vergil's 'arms and the man' to survey and analyse the poetic elements of each epic and the context in which each was created.

Decadence and dread: three novels of the fin de siècle Dr Jenny Bavidge We focus on three novels which reflect the dark and dangerous ideas of the fin de siècle: Bram Stoker's Dracula, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. How does each novel deal with late-Victorian anxieties about race and class, post-Darwinian fears of 'degeneration' of the species, and the illicit pleasures of breaking with social, sexual and moral convention?
Gd4
Two great novellas by Henry James: The Aspern Papers and The Turn of the Screw Clive Wilmer Henry James was a master of the novella, the best known of which are The Aspern Papers, a tale of Americans in Venice and the literary life, and The Turn of the Screw, the most disturbing of his ghost stories. Both stories wrestle with the problem of evil.

Reading Virginia Woolf: Orlando and Between the Acts Dr Claire Nicholson This course focuses upon two texts in which Woolf addresses questions of biography, gender, performance and war. We will explore how Woolf's modernist writing took an innovative approach to these ideas, and they will be set in context with reference to her essays and autobiographical writing.
Hd3
Shakespearean justice: The Merchant of Venice and Measure for Measure Dr Paul Suttie Since Aristotle, comedy has been associated with 'poetic justice', the convention that wickedness will be thwarted and the virtuous rewarded. But do such expectations of justice have any bearing on the real world? And who are 'the virtuous', anyway? We examine two plays in which Shakespeare pushes the comic form to its limits in probing such questions as these.
Hd4
The Waste Land and other poems Clive Wilmer T S Eliot's poem The Waste Land is widely regarded as the great but difficult masterpiece of Modernism. We shall examine it closely from beginning to end and, as we do so, look at some of the works that inspired it and some of the poems written, as The Waste Land itself was, in the period 1914-22.

James VI and I, one of the most interesting and controversial of British monarchs, was a philosopher-king and an intellectual in politics, whose reputation has been rehabilitated in recent decades. We investigate James's personality, beliefs and policies, focusing on his personality, his career as King, the use he made of his powers, and the nature of his achievements.
19th-century Europe was dominated by the ambitions and rivalries of three imperial families – the Romanovs, the Habsburgs and the Hohenzollerns. We examine these dynasties and how they all came to grief in the catastrophe of the First World War – a war created by those very ambitions and rivalries.

In early modern England, as elsewhere in Europe, treason was the worst of crimes, an offence committed against one's sovereign and, by extension, against the state and existing order. Through case studies, documents and reflection on the political realities of the age, we trace the history of treason and its punishments across two eventful centuries.
This course will put the 'story' firmly into History. We will investigate how it is that from Shakespeare to Hilary Mantel, certain historical episodes have been invented and re-invented in order to produce and re-produce meaning and identity in British culture.

Revolutionary Russia Dr Jonathan Davis We look at the 1905 revolution and ask whether it deserves such a title, before turning to the two revolutions in

1917. We consider why Tsarism fell, why liberalism failed and why Bolshevism succeeded, and assess the consequences of the revolutions, both for Russia and the world.
Group Ma: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Ma1
1776: American Revolution or British Civil War? Dr SeĂĄn Lang Have we allowed our view of 1776 to be too coloured by patriotic sentiment? Were the Founding Fathers launching a new nation, or was the War of Independence more of a British dispute, fought between Britons who wanted, at heart, to remain British? This course will subject this Revolution to a thoroughgoing reappraisal.
Ma2
The history of martyrdom in early modern Christianity, c.1500-1700 Dr Ceri Law There are many conceptions and controversies surrounding martyrdom and martyrs in early modern Europe. We examine the competing claims of multiple religious groups to those who had died in the name of 'true' martyrdom, and consider what this tells us about the religious conflicts of the period.
Ma3
Fascism: history and interpretation, 1919-45 Dr Andrew Lacey What is Fascism? Was Hitler a Fascist in the same way as Mussolini or Franco? Is Fascism always racist, is it revolutionary or reactionary? These are some of the questions we will attempt to answer on this course devoted to one of the most controversial and perplexing political movements of the 20th century.
Ma4
British America, from the Tudors to Independence Dr Eoin Devlin We examine how the ambitions of explorers, religious exiles, government officials and businessmen created the 'first' British Empire. We explore its intellectual and cultural contexts, the role of profit-seeking companies, the social history of British settlements, interactions with native peoples, and the crisis of the late 18th century.
Ma5
Cold War flashpoints Dr Jonathan Davis From its origins and early problems, including the Berlin Blockade, we assess some of the main flashpoints, such as the Korean War, the invasion of Hungary, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. We consider why they occurred, their seriousness and their consequences and examine the events leading to the end of the Cold War. (Not to be taken with B12 in ISP Term I.)

The reign of Charles I, 1625-49 Dr David Smith FRHistS This course investigates the personality, beliefs and policies of Charles I, the only King in English history to have been put on trial and publicly executed. In particular, it explores the extent of his responsibility for the outbreak of the English Civil War, and considers how far he brought his own fate upon himself.
Lb2
The advent of the Tudors Dr Jessica Sharkey Despite its fame, the Tudor dynasty rose from shadowy and humble origins. We examine the tumultuous and unlikely events that led to Henry VII's victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, and consider how the first Tudor managed to secure his throne and end the Wars of the Roses.
Lb3
Out of the Ashes: post-war Europe, 1945-65 Dr Andrew Lacey In 1945, much of Europe lay in ruins and rapidly divided between east and west. Out of the ashes reconstruction took place. We look at some of the

Winston Churchill: the greatest Briton? Professor Mark Goldie FRHistS The people's Winston is a mass of contradictions: the saviour of his country in 1940; a defender of a declining Empire; a radical liberal; a reactionary conservative. He epitomised Britain's confused identity in the modern world, her triumphs and her decline. We will consider whether Churchill really is 'the greatest Briton'.
Lb5
Protest in Colonial India, 1770-1947 Dr Leigh Denault Colonial India has been described as an 'insurgent' society: beyond rebellions, and beyond Gandhi and the nationalists, historians have chronicled diverse protest movements which drew on or reimagined tradition as well as radical and revolutionary movements. We will explore this rich history of socio-political protest from the late eighteenth century to 1947.
Group Mb: 2.00pm – 3.30pm Mb1
France under the Occupation Dr Seán Lang What was life like for those in occupied France? How different was life under the Vichy regime in the South, until 1942? What were the realities of collaboration and resistance? This course examines the period from May 1940 to December 1944, and the military administration of France by the German Third Reich. Mb2 The reign of Henry VIII Dr Jessica Sharkey The reign of Henry VIII was a major turning point in British history. We use the preoccupations, ambitions, and character of Henry VIII as a route into the political, religious and cultural changes of this tumultuous period, discussing personalities including Wolsey, More and Cranmer, and the falls of Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell.

Irish rebellions, c.1594-c.1916 Dr Eoin Devlin We examine the evolution of resistance to English and British rule in Ireland, from the Nine Years War in the late 16th century, to the Easter Rising of 1916. Using a range of primary source material, we will explore the political, religious, and economic contexts for rebellion in Ireland. Mb5 Castles: technology and warfare Dr Frank Woodman Castles dominate European landscapes, though mostly ruined. They smothered Norman England whilst military and architectural changes accelerated. Crusading experience saw more effective and aggressive designs. Siege technology and evolving military strategy slowly undermined the purpose of the castle, leading to a new role as backdrop to chivalric splendour.

Shakespeare: the Sonnets Dr Alexander Lindsay This course will provide a close reading of a selection of the sonnets, chosen by theme. Some comparison will be made with sonnets by Shakespeare's contemporaries, and how Shakespeare's sequence stands in relation to literary tradition and Renaissance writing on love and friendship.
Ra2
Romanticising Shakespeare Dr Stephen Logan We examine both what the Romantics have done to Shakespeare and what they have done for him. Looking at the shift of outlook from Johnson to Coleridge, along with changes in the way Shakespeare's texts have been edited, the aim is to see current attitudes to Shakespeare as a mix of time-bound prejudice and durable intuition.

Vaulting ambition: The Tragedy of Macbeth Clive Wilmer Macbeth is both profoundly wicked and profoundly sympathetic, a deeply ambitious man who knows that fulfilling his ambition will destroy everything that makes his life worthwhile – his honour, his reputation, the love he is held in, his relationship with his wife. We will attempt to solve these enigmas, studying one act per day.

Richard III in performance Vivien Heilbron Through practical acting workshops, we focus on the scenes in which the women in the play encounter Richard as he seeks to seduce, threaten and manipulate them, as well as working on Richard's soliloquies which reveal him to be a man who is witty, ruthless, filled with rage and determined to gain the crown by any means.

Requiring confident English speaking skills, this course consists of practical acting workshops where we shall explore the strange world of Illyria, filled with wonderful characters, some of Shakespeare's most beautiful verse and comedy at times tinged with a surprising melancholy. Shakespeare's language will be our guide. (This is a double course which can only be taken with Sb1.)
The plays now commonly known as Romances were not originally classified that way. Studying texts including The Tempest, Pericles, The Winter's Tale and Cymbeline, we consider the reasons for these changes in naming, the nature of romance and the opportunities it afforded for the different treatment of moral and religious themes.

An intensive, scene-by-scene discussion of this most challenging and astonishing play. Class discussion will aim to bring out the richness of different ways of performing and understanding the work, and what is at stake in choosing between them.
Prospero's "potent art", which dominates the action of The Tempest, proves to be something more than fairy-tale magic. Rather we find in it a profound exploration at once of stagecraft and of statecraft; of the arts of producing theatrical spectacle, political control, and religious wonder. But what benign or dark purposes does Prospero's art finally serve?

What was it about Rome that engaged Shakespeare's imagination? Power, stoicism, crowds, masculinity, rhetoric and the glamour of celebrity will be among the answers. We shall look at parallels and contrasts between his three later Roman plays: Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus.
The 'fat rogue' Sir John Falstaff is the greatest of all Shakespeare's comic creations. This course follows his 'career' through four plays: as the central figure in two history plays, Parts 1 and 2 of King Henry IV, in the light comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor and with the report of his death in King Henry V.

Falstaff! Clive Wilmer
Coercive Comedies: Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night's Dream Dr Lucy Allen
Rb4
In Shakespearean comedy, all problems appear to be resolved by the promise of marriage. Yet Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night's Dream expose tensions, variously depicting forced marriage, pharmaceutical subterfuge, elaborately contrived fictions of infidelity. What may seem funny has the potential to be uncomfortable, disturbing, and disruptive.
Shakespeare loved the Vice role, the devilish tempter of morality plays, and used it superbly. Iago fuses that role with the 'clever slave' – but it's also there in Richard Crookback, Falstaff, Feste, and Duke Vincentio in Measure for Measure. This course rounds them up, and asks some virtuous questions.

Twelfth Night in performance. Vivien Heilbron (This is a double course which can only be taken with Sa1.)
Sb2 Shakespeare and silence: Titus Andronicus and Othello Dr Lucy Allen The performance histories of Titus Andronicus and Othello are riddled with telling silences. The plays pivot around episodes of silence resulting from violence, and attempt to stage what has seemed unperformable, impossible to articulate, or too dangerous to express. Their silences invite us to confront the ethical problems tragedy raises.
Sb3
The Late Plays and the Blackfriars Theatre Dr John Lennard The greatest challenge of Shakespeare's writing career came late, when the King's Men were finally able to use the roofed Blackfriars Theatre from 1609. The principal result was the 'late plays'– Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, The Tempest – and this course asks how they were affected by the new space and its audiences.
Sb4
Tyranny and regicide in Richard II Dr Paul Suttie On the surface, all is chivalric decorum, but just underneath, a bloody feud is playing out, which will not only dethrone a king but question the very basis of kingly authority. Richard II was a politically dangerous play, treading the limits of what the Elizabethan authorities would countenance; it is also a great milestone in Shakespeare's maturing dramatic art.

By 1300 England possessed a sophisticated judicial system. Nevertheless it was a violent and lawless country. Outlaws like Robin Hood were heroes, gangs of gentry roamed the countryside, and royal judges went in fear of their lives. Using original sources, this course explores the history of crime and punishment in late medieval England.
This course will introduce Chaucer's major works, including The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde.

Viking upheavals during the 9th century signalled the end of the 'Insular' period and helped to stimulate the creation of a united England with a single monarchy. This course will focus on exploring the history of the period, up until the Norman Conquest, through the portal of its material and literary culture.

A visitor to Rome c.1000 would not have had business with the pope, but such was the revolution in the papacy's standing by 1215 that its authority had become all pervasive in matters ecclesiastical and temporal. This course charts papal expansion from the 11th-century reform to the Fourth Lateran Council. (This is a double course which can only be taken with Nb1.)
Fourteenth-century England witnessed accelerating state growth, as the legal expansion of the late 13th century was joined by ever-greater demands pertaining to war. Unprecedented public service was consequently delivered by the king and many of his subjects. This course will examine how and why political lives were changed.

Eleanor of Aquitaine Dr Philip Morgan FSA The career of Eleanor of Aquitaine, from heiress and wife to crusader and Queen, seems unmatched in the Middle Ages. What explains her historical reputation? We follow her character and career through the (often critical) voice of monkish authors, and changing historical context - which both allowed and redirected opportunities for women.

The programme is intentionally rigorous, and all applicants must demonstrate a high level of fluency in English in their application by providing a 300-400 word piece explaining their reasons for applying.
Courses Students choose one course per week from four practice-based courses (poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction and a general approach to the art and craft of writing). Students write 350-500 words, four days a week, for their chosen course. Plenary lectures Morning plenary lectures will be given by visiting novelists, poets and other figures from the world of publishing, who will address a variety of matters related to their own work and to the craft of writing more generally. Evening talks Some evening talks and readings are for the Creative Writing programme only. The rest are shared with our other programmes.

Covering the fundamental principles of plot structure, this course considers classic story shapes and how we can use them to help make our narratives realistic and believable yet unpredictable and compelling. Moving on from tried and tested formulae we'll consider how we can reinvent plot to tell new stories.
Focusing particularly on the short story, we shall begin by exploring memory as one of the fiction-writer's key resources, probing the nature of our recollections, before examining the role of the imagination in translating them into fictional form. We shall also consider the value of research as a basis for fiction.

Adventures in poetry Professor Tiffany Atkinson Those who already write poetry will find their understanding of their craft enhanced by this course, while those who usually work in other genres will find their writing sharpened by a programme of study which highlights – among other matters – the value of precision, the refinement of style, and the powers we have to make language sing.

Writing short stories I. Memory, imagination, research Professor Jem Poster
Writing non-fiction I. Lives - past and present Midge Gillies We begin by exploring what makes an interesting life and the role of the biographer and memoirist. We look at how the writer of non-fiction can make fact as compelling as fiction, and explore the use of research, memory and imagination.
Week 2 (13 – 19 August) Group Wb: 9.15am – 10.45am and 2.00pm – 3.30pm Wb1

This course considers a variety of ways in which we can construct characters, creating three-dimensional plausible personalities. But inventing characters is just the beginning; we'll go on to discover how writers 'reveal' character to the reader and how we encourage readers to invest emotionally in what happens to them.
With particular emphasis on the short story, we shall focus on a number of important elements in fictionwriting: the places in which our stories are set; the characters inhabiting those fictional spaces; and the ways in which those characters define themselves, both through their words and through their actions.
Wb2
Wb4
A series of hands-on workshops exploring the many available ways of 'telling a good story'. Harnessing our natural storytelling impulses through guided practice and writerly analysis of published examples, we will sharpen and develop our narrative skills, including close work on plot, character, voice and setting.
We look at the most imaginative ways of describing people and the landscape in which they live, or have lived. We explore the potential for mixing different genres to find one, compelling narrative, and examine the extent to which place can become a central character.

In these circumstances the Institute will return any booking fee paid by or for the individual, but there will be no further liability of the Institute.
Programme/term change Any registered student who wishes to change from one programme/term to another (whether that change is for one-week or two-week attendance) is charged an administration fee of £50. Any student who wishes to change from one week to another within the same programme/term is charged an administration fee of £20.
Course change An administration fee of £20 is charged for each course change made by any student who wishes to change from one course to another (where places are available). Please note: course changes cannot usually be made once a course has started.
Certificate of attendance We reserve the right to retain certificates of attendance if fees are still outstanding on completion of programmes.
Accommodation Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If requested in advance, couples will be assigned to adjacent single rooms where possible. Double rooms are not available. There is an extremely limited number of twin en suite rooms in Clare College and Selwyn College. Please contact us for further information before applying. All rooms must be vacated after breakfast on your departure date. We reserve the right to pass on to students any charges levied for any loss or damage to College property, including for lost keys. Non-residential attendance is also possible. The Cambridge Tourist Information Centre is able to provide information about accommodation. The University can accept no responsibility for finding accommodation for those applying for non-residential places.

Unfortunately we are unable to provide College accommodation before or after your programme. If you wish to make your own arrangements, we suggest you contact: www.conferencecambridge.com or www.universityrooms.com.
Accommodation allocation If your first option is full, you will be allocated to your second or third choice. These alternatives must be indicated on your application form and allow us to allocate you a room, without the need to contact you or delay your application. On the application form please confirm that we may charge your debit/credit card for the difference, if your second or third choice is more expensive than your first. Specific room requests are passed to the Colleges, who try to fulfil your requirements, but as rooms are allocated in order of acceptance this is not always possible. Room sizes may vary considerably. Please note: We regret that are unable to inform you of your specific room allocation before your arrival, nor are the Colleges.
Accommodation between consecutive programmes/terms Those attending two, or more, consecutive programmes/terms will automatically have their College accommodation booked for the extra night(s) between and be charged accordingly (see page 87). Please indicate on your application form if you do not want these extra nights, in which case you will be asked to vacate and clear your room.
Special requirements We make every effort to accommodate the needs of those with special dietary or medical requirements. If the College to which you have been allocated cannot meet your requirement, we will offer you accommodation in a different College. Please indicate on your application form whether you have any special requirements and we will contact you for further information.
Building works We can accept no responsibility for building works but will attempt to minimise any disruption.
Medical insurance Your home country may have an arrangement with the UK so that medical care is free. If it does not, you must take out medical insurance to ensure you are covered during your stay, particularly if you have known medical needs that may require attention. Medical costs are expensive and payment is often needed at the time of treatment.
Travel insurance You must take out travel insurance to cover yourself for your return journey and the duration of your stay. It should cover any expenses incurred as a result of lost or stolen property, late arrival, early or delayed departure, or cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. For our refund and cancellation policy see below. The University accepts no liability for loss or damage to student property.
