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.
Students who participate will typically have prior knowledge of the language(s) and cultural tradition(s) in question, equivalent to a minimum of one academic year of instruction. Students are awarded credits based on a written assignment (essay/term paper).

COVID-19: In the current situation, and most likely continuing through the Spring term of 2021, a number of activities at the Norwegian Institute of Philology have been reduced, and many events and projects have been either cancelled or postponed. With both national and local regulations constantly shifting, we cannot guarantee that we will be fully operational until this situation is resolved, hopefully well ahead of the Fall term of 2021.
