The study of Latin has long been a respected part of an education and it develops a wide range of skills. To master the complex grammar, you will have to develop a logical mind. Alongside learning linguistics, you will be exploring historical, philosophical and literary ideas and making connections between them and the modern world. Close analysis of texts will develop a careful eye for detail and an appreciation of literary form. Classicists have long been admired for the measured and beautiful powers of oral and written expression such study yields. These universally respected attributes mean that Latin works well with any combination of academic subjects.

The Unit 2 exam (Prose Composition or Comprehension) will test their ability to understand more advanced prose unseen passages or their ability to translate into Latin. The Unit 3 exam (Prose Literature) will test students’ knowledge and understanding of Tacitus and Virgil. The Unit 4 exam (Verse Literature) will test their knowledge and understanding of Virgil’s Aeneid XII. Paper 1 is worth 33% of the A level and lasts 1 hour 45 minutes.
