Latin

Course summary

Like most subjects, Latin is not a vocational subject, but rather an academic discipline which uses the language and subject matter to develop a range of personal skills which are valued by universities and employers, who recognise the breadth of the subject. A successful Latinist will not only have a well-developed linguistic ability and understanding through analysis of a logical language and its influence on modern languages; he or she will also have a developed imagination and wide-ranging experience of many issues raised by the literature and culture of ancient Rome as well as an ability to formulate a considered response to them.
