Ghosts, monsters, and the supernatural have long held a complex fascination for people and societies, troubling the relation between truth and fiction, living and dead, familiar and unfamiliar.
The Departments of Classics and Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Royal Holloway invite any interested students to a themed taster day exploring the different ways that writers, thinkers, and filmmakers have engaged with the supernatural. After four sessions exploring case studies from the classical and modern worlds, we will end with an informal discussion outlining the various degree courses we offer in (and across) our two departments and answer any questions you might have about university life. No prior study of classical culture or any languages other than English is required!

Please note: This event is designed for those who might wish to study with us rather than, for example, parents or guardians, for whom the College Open Days are more appropriate.
