What are the entry requirements?
You'll need a grade 4 in GCSE English.
What will you learn?
You'll study a Shakespeare play alongside pre-1900 drama and poetry, a comparative study of dystopian novels, and post-1900 texts through coursework, developing both close analytical skills and your own critical voice.
Can I combine this with English Language?
Yes. English Literature works particularly well alongside English Language, giving you the opportunity to explore both how language is used and how writers create meaning through literature. Studying both A Levels can strengthen your analytical, communication and writing skills, providing a strong foundation for a wide range of university courses and careers.
What can this course lead to?
Many students progress to degrees in English, Law, History, Journalism or Politics, and into careers in teaching, publishing, media, marketing and public relations.
