What the college says

English Literature is every reader’s dream. The course will develop and nurture your passion for literature and expose you to a range of texts; across genres, times and contexts. Studying Literature requires a thoughtful, considerate and dedicated approach, wherein you will be expected to appreciate and evaluate writers’ intentions with a critical view. Wider reading expectations are extremely high; you will need to read around the subjects and texts, in detail. The examinations are a combination of closed and open book and both come at the end of the two years. There is also a coursework element where students can pursue texts (within reason!), a question and topic of their choosing. Successful students are those who ask questions, delight in thorough essay writing and are desperate to widen their repertoire of reading.
