Latin

Course summary

Because you enjoy it! If you are enjoying the rigour and challenge of your studies at GCSE, then you will enjoy the A Level. You will have the opportunity to be inspired, motivated and challenged by reading widely across a range of set texts. You will gain a deeper understanding of the life and culture of the ancient world through the literature studied. You will develop critical analytical skills which will help you whatever you go on to do. Studying a Classical language also makes you very employable. Universities highly value these subjects because students display precision and clarity of thought and are often widely read and articulate. Latin A level complements most other A Levels and high-achieving students pursuing medicine or veterinary science can achieve breadth in their curriculum by studying Latin alongside the sciences.
