Classical Civilisation

Course summary

We use OCR’s courses for Latin and Greek, and Classical Civilisation. Classical Civilisation is an A-level that will particularly appeal to candidates with an interest in the Classical World but less desire to study, or aptitude for, the Greek and Latin languages. Material studied is a mixture of literature in translation and historical and archaeological sources, and is tested through a variety of essays and shorter questions. It is a great A-level for those who want to extend their knowledge of ancient literature and culture, to reflect on the foundations of the modern European world - and to reflect on the modern world in a better informed position as a result.
