Urgent Question

Anyone?

I don't think so.

If you need it for single honours, chances are you'll need it for double honours, and vice versa. It should really say on the website or in the prospectus which subjects you need to do for single if you're not sure.

Thanks. See, at the open day they said I didn't need Higher Classics to study it as an outside subject, so I thought about applying for joint English & Classics, but thought 'If I don't have Higher Classics will they reject me anyway? ' I'll call them tomorrow.

You realise tomorrow is Saturday, right?

You shouldn't take my word for certain, as I am a physicist, and not a classics person, but I'd imagine classics is not a widely taught A-level, so it'd be silly to punish those who want to study it at university but haven't had the opportunity to learn it in sixth form.

Yeah, you need it for single honours Actually, you need Higher Latin and/or Greek, neither of which my school offers, but I want to study Classics at uni. I'm in a pickle

They offer courses for people who have not studied latin&greek, for those who have studied either latin or greek and for those who have done both at Oxford, so I would imagine they are similar in their approach at Cambridge

... I didn't mention Oxbridge.

From here. I can't see anywhere that states you need a Higher in Classics.

Do elaborate. It's not a disaster if it's bad news, I can take it

It sounds like Static. has the answer, but I am 100% certain it will not hurt to call, and they will want to help you. It will save you SO much time and trouble.
