Alexander the Great: From Macedon to Empire

Join us from 14 September as we explore the extraordinary life of one of history's greatest military leaders.

Ascending to the throne at just 20 years old, Alexander inherited the kingdom of Macedon from his father, Philip II. Within a decade, he had conquered vast territories across Asia and Egypt, creating an empire that stretched from Greece to northwestern India. Undefeated in battle and remembered as one of the most influential figures in history, his achievements continue to fascinate over 2,000 years later.

📅 5-week course starts: 14 September
£83 per person

Discover the man behind the legend and the empire he built.
