Modern Greek Courses

Modern Greek Studies at Cambridge are offered by the Modern Greek Section, which forms part of the University’s Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics (MMLL).

There are currently two optional papers on offer that students can take as part of their undergraduate studies.

Both papers are taught jointly by Affiliated Lecturers, Dr Liana Giannakopoulou (literature and culture) and Dr Regina Karousou-Fokas (language and linguistics).

The aim of the papers is to introduce students to Modern Greek language and culture, past and present. They will appeal to students, mainly from the Faculties of Classics and Modern and Medieval Languages, with a wide range of interests.

Prior knowledge of the Modern Greek language is not a prerequisite.
