What the college says

A Level English Literature is both exciting and challenging, offering the chance to read and explore stories from across the ages and across the globe. Through the study of novels, poetry and plays, students become critical readers and writers, able to analyse and evaluate the written word, refining the skill of argument and debate, while also undertaking independent research, all essential skills for many future careers and skills that benefit study in other subjects.

What you need to get on

4 GCSE grades 9-6 and 7 GCSE grades 9-4. A minimum of a grade 6 in English Literature or English Language is required to study A Level Literature, though it is preferable to have achieved a grade 7 or above. The motivation to read, however, has to be a core requirement as success in literature comes from wide reading novels, plays and poetry.

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.
