Classical Civilisation

Course summary

Classical Civilisation is the study of the history and culture of the ancient Greek and Roman world. Some students opt for Classics because they are interested in studying the ancient world in greater detail; others, because the analytical skills they develop will enhance their work in other subjects such as History, Government and Politics, English, etc. Scientists and Medics often opt for Classics because they like to have a balance in their A Level courses. This is a subject that enables them to read and discuss texts, use their imagination in a different way, have high-level discussions in lessons, and add an extra layer of creativity. Classical Civilisation is highly regarded by university admissions tutors in all subjects.
