At the end of their first year most students attend a summer school in Greece, for which some scholarships are available. Beginners take the paper on 'Greek literature, thought, and history since 1880', and at least one Greek language paper and an oral. The third year can be spent studying at a Greek university or in some approved employment in Greece. Any of these can be combined with papers in other languages and literatures, linguistics, art history, film, critical theory, etc. In addition, the University Library has a much larger Modern Greek collection.
Greek television is received by satellite.
Each year there is a series of lectures by distinguished visiting speakers on a wide range of subjects connected with Modern Greece, its history and culture. It was held in Cambridge in 1997. There are Cambridge University Hellenic and Cyprus societies, which welcome students of Modern Greek to their meetings and social events. The possibilities are endless. Linguists can do any of the jobs that are open to arts graduates, and they have their linguistic skills to offer as an added bonus.
