GCE course. Assessment is by means of two units of assessments for
Advanced Subsidiary and four units of assessments for Advanced GCE.

Course Summary
Latin is a well-regarded A-level subject
and goes well with other modern languages, as well as English and
History.
Several universities offer Honours degrees in Classical Studies,

students have gone on into journalism, law, archaeology and corporate
posts in multi-national companies.
