Latin will appeal to those with an interest in classical history and civilisation; it requires an analytical mind, linguistic ability and a flair for literature. The classical world is a fascinating place. Reading literature in the original language allows you to appreciate its beauty and the extent of its influence on the modern world. Universities and employers are always impressed by students who have studied Latin as it teaches you to think logically and to solve problems. You will improve your ability to analyse literature, your logical thinking skills, your problem solving and your appreciation of one of the greatest cultures of all time. It will challenge you, but you will thoroughly enjoy the experience and will gain much from it. As your grammar and vocabulary develop, you will find it helps broaden and enrich your understanding of English and other languages.
Students for this A level must have studied Latin at GCSE and should ideally have achieved at least a grade 6.
At A Level there will be four exams, each to be taken at the end of Year 13. These will comprise: Translation (worth 33%); Comprehension (17%); Prose Literature (25%); and Verse Literature (25%). These exams will range in length from 1 hour 15 minutes to 2 hours.
