Latin classes are offered by The University of Sheffield.
The University of Sheffield offers Latin language at a variety of levels, so whether you wish to study a degree focusing on the language, you are interested in supplementing your degree with a language module, or are a member of the public, we have the right course for you.
The Modern Languages Teaching Centre (MLTC) provides general language modules in Latin. These general language modules are open to all students (for credits or not), members of staff, and members of the public. Available on a semester basis (11-12 weeks), they aim to develop language competence and cultural knowledge for professional and recreational purposes through small group weekly classes and guided independent learning.
If you are unsure about your level, let us know when applying and we will invite you for a short placement interview to understand your previous experience and current needs.

Our Latin speakers, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work.
Latin is a concise, flexible and beautiful language which was used for centuries both in everyday life and by scholars. It has provided vocabulary and concepts widely employed in law, politics, theology, medicine and in many texts of the musical tradition.
For anyone with an interest in European history however, a working knowledge of Latin is essential. The earliest examples date back to the third century BC but it was the expansion of the Roman Empire which established Latin as a lingua franca around the Mediterranean.
This semester the Language Centre will be offering over 80 classes in 14 different languages. Classes range from Beginners to Post A level and are available in Latin. This semester we will have both online and in person teaching.
