The English Department offers its students an opportunity to participate in a new summer course on Shakespeare in Verona, Italy. Hosted by the Skenè Research Centre, Verona, this exciting initiative will approach Shakespeare from a double perspective that integrates source studies and performance studies. Upon successful completion of the course (including a test and a final paper), participants will earn two academic credit points. More details here. For information, contact the Department secretary

The English Department is pleased to announce a number of scholarships for B.A. students enrolled in the English Literature program (double major with Education). Successful applicants will receive a scholarship of 5,000 NIS at the end of their first year and a tuition scholarship of 7,000 NIS in their second year.
For details, contact the English Department office or Department Chair.

Film Club

 

 

The English Department film club is run jointly by students and members of staff. Films are screened in the multimedia room of the Humanities library, and are preceded by a brief introductory talk (no spoilers). Not all films are adaptations of a literary classic, but some literary connection, or degree of literary interest is to be expected.

The theme for 2024-25 is Colour.
