What the college says

English Literature is a fantastic opportunity to: • read an exciting and varied range of texts - poetry, prose and drama • learn about different literary theories and how to apply them • choose your own texts to study for the Non- Examination Component (Coursework) • study a rigorous academic subject that is highly valued by universities • learn how to analyse texts in great depth • learn more about the historical contexts of different texts and authors • learn how to communicate effectively, construct essays logically and use appropriate academic language • develop your ability to present ideas orally • learn independently and develop your organisation and self-discipline This course will suit you if you enjoy reading different types of fiction including novels, poetry and plays. You will read texts independently and in class and you will find out more about how different social and historical periods impact on how texts are produced and received. Many students study English Literature alongside subjects such as English Language, History, Religious Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Languages or Drama. However, it combines very effectively with most A level subjects.
