Classical Civilisation

Course summary

Classical Civilisation offers an introduction to a culture which, while very different, has had an outstanding influence on our own. The units studied emphasise a variety of ways of approaching the ancient world – through its literature, its historians, its material remains, and its art and religion – and cover periods ranging from the Second Millennium BC to the end of the Roman Empire. Students will develop a broad knowledge and a wide range of valuable and transferable interpretive skills.
