Course summary

Classical Civilisation investigates the World of Ancient Greece and Rome through its literature, art and architecture. Students may have studied some Classics earlier at school in the form of Greek and Roman mythology, or may have studied Greek or Latin at GCSE. Equally, students may have had no background in the Classics whatsoever before choosing A-level Classical Civilisation. The joy of the subject is that it is a new way of looking at the world for whoever takes it up.

Entry requirements

Students should have a grade 6 in GCSE English Literature because, even though no prior knowledge of Latin, Greek or Classical Civilisation is required and the texts are studied in translation, a large portion of the course involves studying works of literature. No prior knowledge of art and architecture is required. All students need to have is an open mind and willingness to learn.

How you'll be assessed

The Classical Civilisation A-level is assessed by three written exams, an exam per component.
