Hi,
One of my friends (in Y11) is having a really difficult time right now because she would like to do a classics degree but our school has stopped offering a-level classics, and doesn’t offer ancient history, latin or greek a-level either (though she has studied latin to gcse level.)
She really doesn’t want to move schools, and besides she can’t really because none of the other local schools offer classics/latin/ancient history)
She’s aiming for oxbridge, and so she’s wondering - will a-levels in philosophy, english and history be good enough? or will universities expect a classics a-level? She’s considering self teaching GCSE ancient history or greek during her sixth form years, is that a good idea?
Thanks in advance
