Students may take one, two or, where timetabling allows, three classical subjects at A-Level. The study of one classical subject is a thoroughly worthwhile academic pursuit, opening up a wide range of opportunities at university and beyond (see below, under 'Where will it lead?"). Those considering studying the ancient world at university level might well opt to take two or three classical subjects in the Sixth Form. Each classical subject has its own particular content and course of study. These subjects have similar course structures. In both, you will continue to improve your skills in the language, read original literature, and respond to ancient texts with increasing sophistication.
If you have enjoyed the subject and been successful (ideally, grade 7 or higher) at GCSE level, you will find the greater depth of study at A-Level rewarding and fulfilling. Both Latin and Greek combine well with most other subjects; there are particular links with English, History, Modern Languages and Mathematics. The two subjects also combine well together.
For each of these subjects, you will be required to draw on your linguistic skills to translate and analyse short extracts from original texts; you will also put forward your own views on works of ancient literature whose style and content you will have studied in class. In addition, there will be the option, should you wish to take it, of translating from English into the classical language.
