What the college says

A-Level Classical Civilisation enables you to explore the roots of the modern world through studying the history, literature and art of ancient Greece and Rome. These epic stories continue to influence writers, artists and film-makers, as well as political and even military thought, in the modern world today. As part of this course you will visit the British Museum and take in theatre performances of Greek Tragedy and/or Comedy in your first year. There is also the chance to visit Rome or Athens in the second year. Classical Civilisation goes especially well with Humanities subjects, including History, Law and Politics. In addition, you may consider studying it alongside Arts subjects such as English, Art, Media and Film Studies. It can also combine well with Sociology and Psychology. For Science and Maths students interested in taking a balancing or contrasting subject, Classical Civilisation could be exactly what you are looking for.
