Latin

Course summary

The A level Latin course is perfect for those of you who would like to extend your knowledge of the Latin language and read some of the greatest prose and verse literature in the original Latin language. Through studying Latin literature, you will acquire a deeper knowledge and understanding of the culture, politics and society of ancient Rome and will be encouraged to consider the influence of these great classical texts on later European literature and values. Latin complements many popular A level subjects, particularly Classical Greek, French, Spanish, Mathematics, English Literature, Religious Studies and History. The Latin A level course will develop your linguistic, analytical and evaluative skills and as a result will provide an excellent foundation for a number of degree courses including Classics, Law, Ancient and Modern History, Archaeology, Anthropology, English, Philosophy and Theology. If you enjoy studying Latin language and literature and have a keen interest in the Roman world, A level Latin may be the course for you. The A level Latin course is normally limited to those who already have Latin GCSE, as the course will build on the linguistic foundations which you have already acquired during your GCSE course.
