What do we do?

Members of the College research in areas ranging from linguistics and archaeology to defence studies and international relations. Their work appears as scholarly articles in journals, as books with university presses or as contributions to current debates in the press or on the Web.

Our staff teach at all levels, including undergraduate and Masters-by-coursework programs, and they guide postgraduate students through research that leads to higher degrees including PhDs. They teach languages, and they create opportunities for students to study in countries of the region and to acquire cultural understanding and the skills of scholars. The policy-related research and specialised teaching that members of the College undertake are informed by the vast historical knowledge and language skills concentrated within five minutes' walk of any College member's room.
