Year 12 Classical Studies (Level 2)

Subject Description

Head of Faculty: Mr B. Coutts.

Classical Studies is the study of people, places and events of the classical world and how they influence the modern world. Classical Studies is an interdisciplinary subject: students engage with literature, languages, art, history, science, technology, religion, and philosophy. 

Students explore community, cultural identity, values and perspectives and think critically about human behaviour and relationships to appreciate the civilisation of ancient Greece and Rome, understand the past and the present and to imagine possible futures. 

The course includes an introduction to the classical world, Greek literature, public art and architecture and the discovery of Pompeii.

The course may be started at Level 2. At least 12 credits at Level 1 English or History is an advantage.
