Attention Hilary Term (January 2013) Incoming Students: Dr Murphy will be meeting with all new incoming VS and Erasmus students in the week beginning January 7th 2013. The dates of these meetings will be posted on the website in January. A sign-up sheet will be on Dr Murphy's door (4010, Arts Block) from Monday, January 7th, so please make sure that you sign up in good time. When you arrive for your meeting, make sure that you bring the registration form from the pack you will have been given by the International Office with you. You cannot be registered unless you bring the registration form with you. As only 10 minutes can be allotted to each student, you should also look at the modules listed in the VS handbook before coming to see Dr Murphy so that you know which module you want to take. Details of all Freshman courses are listed in the VS handbook linked to above. Details of Sophister Option Courses are listed below.

Academic Staff Contact Details 2012-13

Visiting and Socrates students are usually accommodated in courses from the two Freshman years, which take the form of lectures and small group tutorial classes. It is particularly the latter, in which members of staff can provide close individual attention, that visiting students tend to find most valuable.

Visiting students with an appropriate literary background are also eligible to take the compulsory sophister-level course, The Book.

Finally, a certain number of places are reserved for visiting students in Sophister Option courses. These places will only be allocated after students have been interviewed by the co-ordinator of Visiting Students. Admission is conditional on the student concerned having an appropriate background and level of study in the relevant material or period. Visiting students will not normally be accepted into more than one Sophister Option. Please note that because of pressure on places available, specific conditions apply to admission to courses in the School of English. Students who have not applied officially through International Admissions and Study Abroad, and who have not been approved by the School of English, cannot be accepted.
