In the first years of this course applications were submitted only from these two institutions, but applications are now invited from all British universities.

Applicants should be engaged on a postgraduate degree. 2. They should have a special interest in ancient Greek drama and its performance. 3. They should explain why they think that this course will be of particular interest to them. 4. They should ask their supervisor to send an academic reference under separate cover. The fee for the course is 500 euros, which will cover accommodation, meals, ticket for performances, and archaeological visits. Travel to and from Epidauros has to be at the expense of the student. Please would applicants also indicate how likely it is that they will be able to raise sufficient funding to attend the course.
