The Book III Independent Learner Course is a 40-week tutored email correspondence course which costs £275.

Please use the menu on the left for more details, or read on below for an overview.

The Book III Course is suitable for those who have completed the Book II Course and who are perhaps thinking of moving on to reading original Latin literature or preparing for GCSE Latin. To find out whether the content of this course is appropriate for you, please visit the course content page and for details of the linguistic knowledge necessary for this course, please view the Book I course content and the Book II course content. 

Book III is divided into 8 Stages, or chapters, and each Stage normally takes about 6 hours to complete. The whole course therefore takes roughly 50 hours. You may wish to study every day or just once a week - the pace at which you go is entirely up to you! Your e-tutor will be available for up to 40 weeks and will be happy to receive work from you, by email or post, at whatever pace you decide to go. 

When you enrol for the course, you will receive a set of materials including anIndependent Learner's Guide, which divides the course into 35 sessions, each designed to last about 1.5 hours. For almost every session, some work is identified for you to submit to your e-tutor and he or she will aim to assess that work and return it to you, with advice for improvement, usually within 48 hours. Assessment and certification are available at three points during this course. 

CSCP is a not-for-profit department of the University of Cambridge, and therefore we keep the costs of our courses as low as we can, to allow as many people as possible to gain access to the study of Latin and the Roman world.
