Classical Civilisation is the study of the literature, history and culture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, based on material culture and literature in English translation. We explore the social and historical context in which these works were created, including morality, religion and philosophy. A Classicist notices the similarities and differences between us and the people of the Ancient World, with a genuine interest in what we can learn from them. You will study three units: • The World of the Hero • Greek Art • Love and Relationships To support these modules, you will also get an introduction to the history and culture of the Greeks and Romans from 1200 BCE to 150 CE. Lessons usually consist of reading and discussion, and homework of reading and practice questions. The final assessment is three written exam papers, which test your knowledge and understanding of the material through comprehension and essays. This subject involves a great deal of reading and writing; it is a good option if you have felt confident in essay writing and source-based subjects at GCSE like English Literature and History. However, Classical Civilisation is started from scratch, so you will not be thrown into the deep end but will be talked through important aspects of the material, study skills, and the techniques of answering essays and comment questions.
GCSE Requirements • At least three grade 7s or above • At least three grade 6s or above • At least grade 5 in English and Maths • The required grade at I/GCSE in the qualifying subject/s required for their chosen courses – see the Qualifying Subjects.
