Students from 31 countries participate in Summer Language Courses

Beginning July 9, students from 31 countries participate in the fourth edition of the Ancient Language Courses (Latin, Hebrew and Greek) organized by the University. This year there has been a 50% increase in the number of participants, for a total of 88 students.

The students come from very different countries, making it possible for the students to talk to each other in ancient languages during the breaks, as the method in teaching requires.
