Dimitrios NIKOU (Greece). "I will be forever grateful for all the valuable lessons I received while attending the program, and I will treasure the memories I made at the time. I would recommend the program to anyone interested in ancient philosophy."

Michael TECKLENBORG (Germany). "The course was a fantastic experience. The classes are organized by historical periods. This gives a good insight into the development of philosophy – from its early beginnings in the Greek city-states of Asia Minor to the philosophical foundations of Christianity in late antiquity. We study in a small, fixed group of 15 students from 7 different countries. We had three to four regular classes per week, each lasting three hours. These were always real highlights. Of course, they require intensive preparation: studying the original texts (in English), reading secondary literature, preparing short presentations, and writing an essay for each course. The professors are all excellent and internationally experienced. They encouraged us to engage in in-depth and often passionate discussions about the understanding of the texts, their interpretation, their historical background and contemporary relevance."

Every minute of each class in invaluable and provides deep insights into the most important aspects of Ancient Philosophy. A truly life-changing experience!"

Julia ZGURZYNSKI (USA). "One of the program's strengths is the way it integrates contemporary scholarship, both in coursework and by inviting the students to many philosophy conferences. Thanks to this program, I have now read and written about articles by dozens of current scholars from around the world, and have even listened to some of them present at conferences. As a result, I feel much more informed about the topics and questions currently being researched in ancient philosophy, as well as the best ways to approach ancient texts."
