Classical Civilisation allows students to understand the ancient civilisations that gave us the foundation of western thought and ideas. Students will study the ancient world through text and objects in order to recreate the world in which Romans and Greeks lived. This then becomes a mirror with which we can see the cultures and ideas of the modern world. Classical Civilisation gives you a chance to apply many different skills in different contexts; in particular you will become more analytical and culturally aware during the course. Logic, rhetoric and intercultural skills are only some of the skills that make Classicists so sought after at universities and in the work place. This is a course well-suited to a curious mind and someone who enjoys analysis and discussion. This course is part of the September 2017 A level reforms; please check our website for updates. Students will be appreciating texts such as The Odyssey, one of the earliest poems in the world. We will consider its quality as a text and what it tells us as the ancient world. Another area of study is how the ancient Greeks and Romans lived by studying buildings and the cities of Ostia, Pompeii and Herculaneum. The emphasis of the course is on textual analysis that leads to learning about historical or ancient ways of living. Students will be assessed by written exams.
