The first—and most important—reason is because it’s a fascinating subject, with a huge breadth of subject matter. It is also a very useful subject. Classical Civilisation offers an important insight into where we come from and why modern society is the way it is. Classical Civilisation also raises vital questions about matters that we take for granted by comparison to very different societies. It develops one’s appreciation of literature and one’s use of the language. As an essay subject, Classical Civilisation trains pupils to collect a diverse range of information and to synthesis this information into clear, concise arguments. In learning about the Ancients, pupils will develop more familiarity with many of the references to the Classical world which abound in English (and European) literature. • Skills of analysis, deduction, ICT, communication, discussion and essay writing are taught and fostered Groups are lively and interactive with discussion and reading to support study. • Classical Civilisation complements all other subjects in a variety of combinations, helping to broaden your general education. • This subject is enjoying increasing popularity, both at A Level and as a university degree course. • Classical Civilisation is listed on UCL’s list of preferred A Level subjects and it is also listed on Trinity College, Cambridge’s list of Generally Suitable Arts A Levels. It is also listed as a useful subject for degrees in Classical Studies and Philosophy in the Russell Group ‘Informed Choices’ document with ancient languages being mentioned as helpful for those wishing to study History.
No previous knowledge is required. No knowledge of Latin is required. All texts are studied in English. Classical Civilisation is a subject which can be chosen at A Level without having studied it previously.
Classical Civilisation is a 2 year linear course. Three written external exams are taken at the end of year 2, in each of the components listed below. There are formal internal written assessments taken in at the end of year 1, but these do not contribute to the final award.
