Classical Views on Modern Issues Main Lecture Theatre, Founder's Building Royal Holloway, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX 10.30 a.m. Registration and welcome 10.40-11.10 a.m. Alexander the Great: war crimes and propaganda Prof. Christos Kremmydas, Professor of Ancient History
This talk will focus on the historiographical coverage of two episodes from the reign of Alexander the Great that demonstrate the ways in which atrocities of war could be spun in ways that suited Alexander's war aims and propaganda.
11.10-11.40 am. The Body Speaks: marginal voices in Propertius Dr Efi Spentzou, Reader in Latin Literature and Classical Reception
In this session we will turn to Propertius, the Roman love poet and his beloved Cynthia. Focusing on images of the female body we will explore information about the age, social status, and economic and domestic realities of the poetic characters to peer into the lived experiences and relationships of marginalised Roman women of the 1st century BCE, whose perspectives stay largely hidden in the elite, man-made literature of the period.
11.40-12.10 Refreshments 12.10-12.40 Have a Baby for Rome: Patriotic Pregnancy Modern and Roman Prof. Richard Alston, Professor of Roman History
In all developed economies, the number of children per adult female has fallen well below the replacement rate. When combined with the age profile of populations, it is inevitable that many national populations will fall significantly over the next decades. That fall is irreversible without significant immigration. In many countries (not UK yet), this issue is close to the top of the political agenda. In 18 BCE, the first emperor, Augustus, faced with a similar problem, passed legislation to encourage births. That legislation was massively unpopular and completely ineffective. What can we learn when we put the modern and Roman experiences together?

You can bring a packed lunch, or purchase sandwiches and drinks from a variety of venues across the campus. Student ambassadors will be on hand to show you around our impressive campus.
1.15-2.00 p.m. Mini Campus Tour with Student Ambassadors (optional) 2.00-2.30 p.m. Women, Children and War: Rescue and Refuge Prof. Lene Rubinstein, Professor of Ancient History
How were those displaced by war received in Classical Athens? In this session we will explore how the women and children displaced to Athens by war (refugees by any another name) became a factor in how Athenians thought about relationships between citizens and non-citizens and thus the nature of Athens as a citizen community.
2.30-3.15 p.m. Studying the classical world at University & its Career Opportunities: a Q&A session Dr. Richard Hawley, Senior Lecturer in Classics
This session will explain how studying classical culture at university level differs from studying at school/college. It will also explore the wealth of career opportunities for those with classical culture degrees and give all those present an opportunity to ask questions of Dr. Hawley and the student ambassadors, for example about application procedures, degree course content, and student experience.
Please note: This event is designed for those who might wish to study with us rather e.g. parents/guardians, for whom the No prior Classics-related study is required to attend this Taster Day. College Open Days are more appropriate.
Event organiser: Dr Efi Spentzou ( efi.spentzou@rhul.ac.uk)

The Main Lecture Theatre is near no.7 on the Campus Plan, which you can see here.

Full event details

UNIVERSITY: WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

University is a big decision for students, so this session is focused on helping them understand if it’s the right next step for them. Through two student profiles we discuss applying to university vs not applying to university, how to choose a university and course, making the most of year 12 for university preparations, funding your studies and student life. The session includes a number of interactive activities.

***

This event is only for teachers making bookings for their school groups.

Individual students interested in events at City, University of London are encouraged to attend an open day, taster day or book a campus tour. More information can be found here: http://www.city.ac.uk/study/visit-us

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Session overview: Students are understandably concerned about the cost-of-living crisis and whether university is the best option to prepare them for their career given the cost involved. This session will challenge students' perceptions of where degree study can take them. We use student profiles to discuss and examine how a degree furthers employment prospects and how different degree subjects can lead to the same and different outcomes.

We do not encourage mixing it with other topics as it works best standalone to give the students space to really think about the bigger picture.

Year groups we deliver this session to and recommended time of year: Both Year 12 and Year 13 (pre UCAS deadline) would find value in this session.

Recommended length and location: We deliver this as a 30 minute assembly to groups of any size.

Session overview: This session can be delivered either as a presentation or a workshop.

If delivered as a talk we will introduce the personal statement, discuss structure and how to approach it, and we will review an example personal statement together.

We would recommend where possible this is delivered as a workshop, as we can facilitate additional activities to plan and write the statement as well as review examples in more depth.

Due to preferably delivering this in a classroom, we will usually deliver this workshop multiple times on the same day to cover the whole year group.

Year groups we deliver this session to and recommended time of year: This session works well either for Year 12s during the time they are planning and working on their statement between April - July of Year 12, or as a workshop focused on reviews and final drafts in Autumn term of Year 13.

Recommended length and location: For a talk/assembly we would recommend a minimum of 30 minutes but we can also deliver this talk for up to 1 hour.

We would recommend a minimum of 1 hour for a workshop but can deliver this for longer.

Session overview: This session covers all the information regarding student loans such as tuition fees, maintenance loans and loan repayments, as well as other sources such as bursaries and scholarships. We also include advice on budgeting, a key topic for this point in the cycle.

We have a number of interactive elements which vary depending on the size of the group. These include quizzes and a budgeting activity to compare two different student budgets.

Year groups we deliver this session to and recommended time of year: Our primary audience for this session is Year 12 students in June/July or Year 13s between September to April. We occasionally deliver the session for earlier Year 12s who are really concerned about finance.

Recommended length and location: For a talk/assembly we would recommend 45 minutes - 1 hour for this topic.

If delivered as a workshop we would recommend 1 hour due to the inclusion of activities.

Session overview: Many health courses (such as Nursing, Midwifery, Radiography and Speech and Language Therapy) require an interview or selection day as part of the application process. In this session, we cover key information about what universities look for during a selection day and top tips for interviews.

Where possible, we recommend this session is delivered as a workshop as we can facilitate activities to practice interview techniques, scenario questions and group discussions.

It is important to note that we do not currently run this session for students applying for Medicine or Dentistry.

Year groups we deliver this session to and recommended time of year: This session works best in May - July of Year 12, or Autumn term of Year 13.

Recommended length and location: This session works best as a 1.5 hour workshop.

This session is best suited to classroom delivery.

Session overview: We can deliver a session on any of these topics to teachers and careers advisers to support their students through the UCAS process. References have changed for 2024 entry, and we will be covering these changes within the references section.

Year groups we deliver this session to and recommended time of year: We are adaptable to suit this with your teacher CPD calendar, but we recommend May - July of Year 12 or Autumn term of Year 13.

Recommended length and location: We recommend 30 minutes for references alone, but the session can be made longer if it includes personal statements and the UCAS process.

April - Sciences and Social Sciences

Philosophy

Topic: Gorgias' Encomium of Helen

Presenter: Dr Merrick Anderson

Date: Tuesday 09 April 2024, 4 - 5pm

This Masterclass will focus on Gorgias' Encomium of Helen (a text that was likely composed in the late 5th Century BCE). The piece contains the first complete valid deductive argument of any philosophical text. It also addresses still-relevant issues about moral responsibility. In this interactive session, you will learn how to argue effectively and be challenged to think hard about why and when we hold people responsible.

Computer Science

Topic: Graphics, VR/AR, and AI

Presenter: Ahmet Hamdi Güzel

Date: Thursday 11 April 2024, 4 - 5pm

In this Masterclass, you will dive into the fascinating world of Computer Graphics, VR/AR Displays, and their conjunction with AI. You will explore how these technologies allow us to interact with digital elements blended into our real world or immerse us entirely in a computer-generated environment. You will investigate Computer Generated Holography, uncovering how we can create three-dimensional images that appear as if they are floating in mid-air by computing the light's behaviour. You will also discover how AI techniques can help researchers advance these technologies.

Mathematics

Topic: An Introduction to Applied Mathematics

Presenter: Thomas Caussade Strauszer

Date: Tuesday 16 April 2024, 4 - 5pm

The Mathematics Department at UCL is highly regarded, being one of the founding departments of UCL established in 1826. In this Masterclass, we will look at applied mathematics. In this topic, we are often led to models where finding an exact solution to the problem can be difficult to achieve. However, a good numerical approximation is very useful for most practical purposes. We will discuss different techniques to numerically solve a variety of equations where an explicit solution cannot be found, such as the bisection method, the secant method, and fixed-point iteration methods.

Education, Society and Culture

Topic: Nonsense and Knowledge: Finding Our Way in a Confusing World

Presenter: Dr JD Carpentieri

Date: Thursday 18 April 2024, 4 - 5pm

The world is full of misinformation, misdirection and outright lies. There is a lot of genuinely useful knowledge out there, but in a world of information overload it can be almost impossible to separate that knowledge from nonsense. In this session, we will discuss misinformation, both online and in the broader world. Who produces this misinformation and why? What are their strategies for fooling us? And why are we more easily fooled than we might want to admit? In this interactive, university-lecture style Masterclass, we will also look at strategies for identifying and avoiding nonsense in our pursuit of genuine knowledge. In doing so, we will consider questions such as: When should we rely on common sense and when should it be avoided? How do governments use statistics to mislead us? Do your parents really know what they’re talking about? And (perhaps most importantly) can you really trust university rankings?

Geography resource - Antarctica StoryMaps

University event offered by Royal Holloway, University of London

These four ESRI StoryMap Collections are aimed at KS3 students, and beginners who are interested in learning about Antarctica.

Full event details

We are absolutely delighted to launch a series of free, open-access Antarctic StoryMaps. These storymaps targeted at KS3 students and introduce the Physical Geography of Antarctica and Wildlife in Antarctica.

They feature interactive GIS resources, videos and student activities designed to build engagement, and can be used by teachers in the classroom or by students studying online at home! We worked with a team of experts, teachers and ESRI to build the best possible resource.

In the Physical Geography storymap, students learn about Antarctica's icey features: ice shelves, sea ice, icebergs, glaciers, and learn about why these are important and vulnerable to change.

In the Wildlife of Antarctica storymap, students learn about emperor penguins. They map some colonies from space by looking for their guano, and look at the sizes of different colonies. They then focus on that most iconic Antarctic animal, krill!

The Storymaps are supported by a new more introductory-level series of articles on AntarcticGlaciers that aim to provide content for younger students or those with less of a background in glaciology.

These Storymaps were funded by an educational bursary from Antarctic Science Ltd and were supported by the British Antarctic Survey, ESRI, and Geography Southwest! They were produced by an interdisciplinary team, including scientific experts (Bethan Davies, Huw Griffiths, Klaus Dodds, Peter Neff), technical experts from ESRI UK, and school teachers. They were produced by Laura Boyall and Jen Thornton.
