What the college says

English Literature is a stimulating and thought provoking subject; it develops the ability to engage with the world and enhances written and oral skills. In studying literature, students learn about diverse times and different genres, and the new A level includes exciting contemporary texts as well as the classics. English Literature is exceptionally well respected by universities and employers because it enables students to construct arguments and articulate their ideas with clarity. Poetry, prose, plays and literary criticism are studied, and theatre trips, live broadcasts of plays and film adaptations bring the texts to life.
