What the college says

The study of English Literature at A Level naturally leads on from GCSE English. Studying English Literature will encourage the development of your interest and enjoyment of reading widely and learning to critically analyse as you read. As you progress through the course you will hopefully become a confident reader of a range of texts and your skills of response and analysis will improve. You will learn to use critical concepts and a wide range of new terminology. You will also be encouraged to work independently, deciding on your own interpretations of the texts that you read.

What you need to get on

5 x GCSEs at Grade 5 or above and a Grade 6 in GCSE ENGLISH LITERATURE

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.
