In this travel and study subject, students assess the cultural, social, architectural and political history of the Ottoman Empire to the era of the First World War and the inauguration of the Turkish Republic. On location at historic sites in Turkey in Bursa, Edirne and Istanbul, the three Ottoman capitals, and on the Gallipoli peninsula and at Sakarya, students examine key periods of Ottoman history. This second- and third-year Mediterranean Studies summer semester subject is offered by La Trobe University and run in conjunction with Australians Studying Abroad. Details for the next study tour can be found on our Ottoman Empire 2015 website.
There are many other opportunities for La Trobe students to study overseas. Students can spend a semester or a year studying in Italy at one of our partner institutions. Visit education abroad for more information on student exchanges or the study abroad program.
