What the college says

What is English Literature? English Literature is a key A Level – seen as a great platform for all kinds of degree subject and career. It’s a quality A Level with depth and challenge. Many degree providers value this subject especially, because having a qualification in English Literature means that you can read complex texts with understanding – a quality needed for Law or Philosophy, or indeed most degree subjects, which often require students to read widely in secondary literature, found in journals and theoretical texts. Why study it? It is inspiring, life-changing, life-shaping. You will encounter ideas that you have never dreamed of. You will be taken to exotic locations. You will meet fascinating characters. You will develop your appreciation of literature—and from that you will develop your appreciation of all art and all life.
