Fees and registration

ILARA is open to all and offers classes in rare and precious languages or language families. Introductory-level classes are designed for beginners and require no prior knowledge. All our classes are accessible online via videoconference and some are also available in person. You may choose to study a single language or explore several unrelated ones.

ILARA does not grant degrees, and its classes are not geared toward professional certification. However, for those who wish, an optional graded assessment is available at the end of the class, and a certificate of participation can be issued. Only the Classical Latin and Ancient Greek courses, which ILARA organises on behalf of EPHE–PSL, are eligible for ECTS credits within degree programmes. In addition, some classes (see the pre-registration form) are available for enrolment through continuing education. For more details, please contact formation.continue@ephe.psl.eu.
