Latin

Course summary

The OCR A Level Latin course (H443) includes elements of language and literature. Literature is central to the course, since the classical world is of continuing interest to the modern student because of the quality of its literature and the lasting influence of the ideas contained in the literature. Hence, a variety of both verse and prose is studied in Latin. To develop fluency and knowledge of the subtleties of the language, without which no literature can be fully appreciated, practice in translation into English continues throughout the A Level course.
