PHI SEMINARS

The Norwegian Institute of Philology offers both introductory courses (innføringskurs) and seminars for researchers and advanced students.
​
In the weekly philological research seminars participants read ancient and classical texts in a number of languages.
​
  • Please write to seminar@philology.no if you have questions or if you are interested in participating.
​
Student participation in these seminars can in most cases be awarded with ECTS credits ("studiepoeng"), based on active participation in the seminar and on submitting a term paper.
