Entry Requirements

The A Level coursework provides the opportunity for students to develop their independent research and extended essay writing skills. In addition to the teacher-guided study of set texts, the ‘Comparative and Contextual’ exam component enables students to choose their own texts and independently explore the fascinating genre of dystopian fiction. Future Proof Employers recognise that an applicant with an A Level in English Literature will be a good communicator. The course can be a valuable support to other essay based subjects but can also be an enjoyable contrast with Science or Mathematics. A degree in English Literature is a springboard into many careers, such as those in the media, publishing, advertising, management, education and public relations.
