Classical Civilisation

Course summary

Classical Civilisation develops the skills needed for A-level, undergraduate and postgraduate study. Students study a variety of subjects from literature and law, to politics, history and economics, in addition to mythology and philosophy. Rather than as separate subjects, they will develop an understanding of how these disciplines inter-relate in order to build an understanding regarding the culture of 8th - 4th century BCE Greece and 2nd century CE Roman Republic and Empire. The aim is for students to develop a better standard of critical judgement to prepare themselves for higher education and progression after college.
