Classical Studies
Candidates study the religious, political, social, moral and cultural values and practices of classical Greek and Roman societies. They become more aware of issues affecting their own society, and globally, by comparing the classical world with the modern world.

As part of our ongoing review and maintenance of National Courses, we’re updating some of the language that appears in our National 3 to Advanced Higher Classical Studies course specifications, coursework assessment tasks and some of our unit assessment support packs.
For example, references to ‘slave’ have been changed to ‘enslaved people’ and we’ve changed ‘slavery’ to ‘enslavement’.
We’re making these changes in line with the Scottish Government’s priority of decolonising the curriculum, and as part of our work as members of the Anti-Racism in Education: Curriculum Reform Subgroup.
The updated course specifications will be available by the end of June. The coursework assessment tasks and unit assessment support packs will be available by the end of August. All updated documents will be valid from session 2024-25.
