COURSE CURRICULUM

The first-year program combining Accounting and Classical Studies introduces students to two very different but complementary areas of study, supporting both analytical and critical thinking skills. In Accounting, students gain a foundational understanding of financial recording, reporting, and interpretation, learning how businesses track and communicate financial performance. This builds essential numerical, problem-solving, and analytical abilities that are important for further study in accounting, finance, and business-related careers. Alongside this, Classical Studies provides insight into the ancient world, focusing on the history, literature, culture, and societies of ancient Greece and Rome. This subject encourages students to develop strong skills in critical analysis, interpretation of texts, and understanding historical contexts, which broaden their perspective beyond modern economic and business systems. The combination of these two subjects allows students to develop both technical and humanities-based skills, creating a well-rounded academic experience. While Accounting focuses on structured, quantitative thinking, Classical Studies enhances critical reflection and cultural awareness. Together, they help students improve communication, analysis, and independent thinking skills. Overall, this first-year combination provides a balanced introduction to both professional and academic disciplines, preparing students for future specialisation in either business, finance, or humanities-related pathways while strengthening a wide range of transferable skills.
