Classical Civilisation (GCEAS)

UPDATED 20161006 09:05:12

Classical Civilisation AS: Following the success of our GCSE Classical Civilisations course, we are very pleased to be able to offer both an AS and full A Level in Classical Civilisation from September 2015. Classical Civilisation is the study of the history and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Course offerings cover every aspect of life in the ancient world, including politics, warfare, law, slavery, gender and sexuality, religion, sports and leisure, death, literature, art, architecture and philosophical thought. All topics include a study of primary and secondary classical sources, whether texts in translations, physical evidence or historical works, and encourage students to gain an understanding of Greek and Roman society and its values. The histories of Greece and Rome are both fascinating and exciting and therefore students who love history will enjoy the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and understanding of ancient history. Therefore, the study of Classical Civilisation leads to an understanding of the foundations of the society in which we live today. However, Classical Civilisation encourages students to develop the critical and evaluative skills which will enable them to go on to Higher Education to study a wide range of courses including, of course, Classics or Ancient History. Classical Civilisation also complements many other popular A Levels including Art, English Literature, Government and Political, History, RS, Philosophy and Ethics, Theatre Studies and the Social Sciences. At AS students are introduced to Classical Civilisation through two modules: •the Life and Time of Cicero and •Homer’s Iliad.
