Summer School in Classical Chinese and Classical Japanese/Kanbun

The Summer School in Classical Chinese and Classical Japanese/Kanbun is unique in its kind. Organised in collaboration with Princeton University, it offers two tracks of comprehensive, grammar-focused instruction taught by Faculty members from both Ca' Foscari and Princeton.

The programme is designed especially for students who wish to develop their linguistic expertise for graduate study in any discipline of premodern China or Japan.

Details about the program and the application process for the 2025 edition will be available soon on this webpage. Stay tuned!

Student Feedback on the 2024 Summer School in Classical Chinese and Japanese (collected via anonymous surveys)

"The class is great; this is the summer school that I have learnt the most from. We had very intense practice in Classical Japanese, and I can see my own improvement over the time we are learning. It also introduces me a lot of new knowledge about East Asian studies in general. I really like it."

"Loved every minute."

"Things were taught in a well-paced manner. Being exposed to Classical Chinese everyday helped to consolidate the new knowledge."
