Level 3 Classical Studies
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Melanie Giles.
Internal Credits: 12 External Credits: 8
Classical studies is the study of the people, places, and events of the classical world and how they influence the modern world. To understand ourselves, and our place in a bicultural society, we need to know about the societies that have laid the foundations for the world in which we live. At Level 3, we focus on Ancient Rome and examine aspects of History (Augustus & The Roman Empire), literature (The Aeneid and the epic journey of Aeneas, Founder of the Roman Empire) and Art (Roman Art and Architecture).
Pre-requisites
Prior learning of Classical Studies or another Senior Social Science subject is advantageous but not essential. Level 2 Literacy is highly recommended.
