Course summary

A typical Latin A Level set is around five students or less; you will receive a lot of individual attention during the course. The department has three full-time members of staff, whose passions range from the epic poetry of Virgil to the legal and political machinations of Cicero to the downright rude love poetry of Ovid and Catullus. Students are expected to aim high, work hard and reap the rewards. We have a generously stocked department library and love to see students borrow books and discuss them with us. Students will attend Monmouth Group Set Text days and have the opportunity to visit destinations such as Italy, Sicily or Greece. What will I study during the course? We follow the OCR A Level and students will study unseen translation, unseen comprehension or prose composition and literature.

Entry requirements

A minimum entry requirement of a 6 / B, although ideally a 7 / A grade in Latin at GCSE, with excellent GCSE results across the board. Students will need to be hardworking and open to learning about the striking differences between our world and that of the Ancient Romans. Latin is only suitable for those who have studied it previously.
