What the college says

Do you long to nurture your love of reading? To sharpen your skills of debate, discussion and analysis? To broaden your understanding of the human condition throughout literary history? To be inspired by language and to put your intellectual curiosity to good use? Then English Literature is for you. Studying English Literature will be positively helpful in refining your powers of communication in other subjects and, furthermore, will help develop the skills and ability to tackle the longer, more disciplined writing demanded by many university courses, including Law and History. English Literature is excellent preparation for any university course and is regarded highly amongst universities. All arts degrees require English; other vocational courses which prefer it are Law, Architecture, Business Management, and Education. Students not intending to go to university have an excellent basis for entry into fields such as Journalism or Personnel.
