What the college says

A Level English Language offers you the opportunity to develop subject expertise by engaging creatively and critically with a wide range of texts and discourses. You will create texts, while analysing the texts produced by others. You will explore English both as a medium of communication and as a topic in its own right, with an emphasis on pursuing lines of enquiry, debate different views, and work independently to research aspects of language in use. Language is seen as a creative tool for expression and social connection, as well as for understanding. The study of language as a symbolic system used to assert power in society is also fundamental to the subject.

What you need to get on

You need five GCSEs at grade 9 - 4, including grade 9 - 5 in English. You should also enjoy both creative writing and the analysis of language in use.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
