How to make a title page with this style

Question

In beamer I would like to make title pages for different presentations with this style:

I looked at https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/116112/36831 but that seems much more complicated than I was hoping for.

I didn't really know where to start but here is some LaTeX nonetheless.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{default}
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[default][center]
\newcommand{\Var}[1]{\ensuremath{\textcolor{varcolor}{#1}}}
\definecolor{varcolor}{RGB}{15,122,183}
\title{Calculus recap.}
%\Var{\rule{\linewidth}{2pt}}
\author{Author Name}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[plain]
    \maketitle
\end{frame}
\end{document}

The easy solution is to NOT use \maketitle. – John Kormylo Aug 14 '20 at 16:19 — John Kormylo, Aug 14 '20 at 16:19
@JohnKormylo. That's a very good point. – Simd Aug 14 '20 at 20:49 — Simd, Aug 14 '20 at 20:49

The code I've written would certainly profit from a thorough cleaning.

I'll leave the cleaning part to you, as looking up commands and reading documentation is an essential part of learning.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{default}
\definecolor{titlecolor}{RGB}{29, 110, 174}
\title{Calculus recap.}
\setbeamertemplate{title page}
{
\centering
\textcolor{titlecolor}{\large\bfseries Advanced Math – CSXXX}\par
\vskip 1cm
\textcolor{titlecolor}{\rule{\linewidth}{1pt}}\par
\bigskip
\small\inserttitle\par
\insertsubtitle\par
\bigskip
\textcolor{titlecolor}{\rule{\linewidth}{1pt}}\par
\bigskip
\textcolor{titlecolor}{\small \insertauthor}\par
\insertinstitute\par
\insertdate\par
}
\author{Author Name}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[plain]
\maketitle
\end{frame}
\end{document}

This is how it looks like:
