Course summary

A Level Latin covers stories from myth and history. It will enable you to read artefacts and Latin literature and can deepen the understand of many other languages used today. Learners build their knowledge of vocabulary and linguistic structures through reading and studying prose and verse texts in Latin. Students will study texts written by a range of prose authors and a 'verse unseen' author to develop linguistic competence.

Entry requirements

To help you achieve the best grades possible at A level we ask that you choose the subjects you enjoy, have an interest in and did well in at GCSE. In most cases, this means you will have achieved at least a grade 6 at GCSE in the subjects you wish to study at A level. This does not apply to all A-level subjects we offer, for example, Politics and Psychology, as it is unlikely you will have studied either at GCSE. We will discuss entry requirements in these instances with you.

How you'll be assessed

• Exam 1 - Unseen Translation (33%) • Exam 2 – Prose Composition or Comprehension (17%) • Exam 3 – Prose Literature (25%) • Exam 4 – Verse Literature (25%)
