Latin is regarded by universities and employers alike as one of the most versatile and academically rigorous subjects, requiring attention to detail, the ability to structure and write essays, and the ability to think outside the box. The new A Level syllabus allows us to study a wide range of authors and texts, spanning hundreds of years, and this variety is what makes A Level Latin so engaging.
We require at least a grade 6 in GCSE Latin.
Unit 1 (H043/01): Unseen Translation A one-hour and 45-minute written paper (33% of A Level) Students have to translate two passages of unseen Latin (both verse and prose) into English, as well as scan lines from the verse passage. Unit 2 (H043/02): Prose Composition and Comprehension A one-hour and 15-minute written paper (17% of A Level). Unit 3 (H443/03): Latin Prose Literature A two-hour written paper (25% of A Level). Unit 4 (H443/04): Latin Verse Literature A two-hour written paper (25% of A Level).
