Increasingly, students are continuing their studies of the Classical World at university. Students who may wish to apply for Oxbridge to read Classics should choose both Latin and Classical Civilisation at A Level. Classical Civilisation can be continued at university with or without the addition of an ancient language. Individual courses offer opportunities to specialise in Literature, Ancient History, Philosophy, Art and Architecture or Archaeology.
