Introduction Studying the classical civilisations of Ancient Rome and Greece is fascinating; we cover a wide range of themes from this period, including philosophy, religion, comedy, and tragedy. The course intends to expand students' knowledge of the ancient world in order to gain a better understanding of the modern. If you are looking to combine an interest in History and English Literature, this could be the subject for you. Why Classical Civilisation? - A highly regarded A-Level which combines academic rigour with fascinating subject content, including insights into a different world of gods, heroes, empires and government. - Supported by trips to museums, universities and theatres and an optional place on the departments' biennial overseas residential trip. - The opportunity to study diverse topics and sources, including both literature and visual/material culture, which will inspire and motivate learners to engage further with the classical world.
4 GSCE Grades B/5 or above, plus at least a Grade 4 in English Language and Mathematics. The study of Latin and Ancient Greek texts are all completed in English translation so no prior knowledge is required. However, a grade B in English Literature and/or History is desirable.
- The World of the Hero; the study of Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid (worth 40% of your A Level) - Culture and the Arts: Greek Theatre (worth 30% of your A Level) - Beliefs and Ideas: Democracy and the Athenians (worth 30% of your A Level)
