Participants

All students from public and private schools, preferably in the province of Valencia, enrolled during the academic year 2024-2025 in the subjects of Latin and/or Greek in the 2nd year of high school can participate in the Olympiad of Classics 2025. Participation is on an individual basis.

Contents

The subject matter of the exam will include the current syllabus of the subjects of Latin and Greek in the 1st and 2nd year of the baccalaureate, as well as the classical world-related subjects that have been acquired in ESO and in the Bachillerato.

Study grants for winning students

The student who is the winner of the Olympiad will receive a study grant of €1000. This grant will only be awarded if the winner has enrolled in the first year of a degree course at a centre belonging to the Universitat de València.

The study grants obtained are personal and non-transferable and can be made effective in the two academic years following their award. If the student has won the local phases of one or more Olympiads, either successively or simultaneously, he/she can apply for only one grant for a single degree course at the Universitat de València.

Each collaborating institution will award the prize it determines.
