This course encourages students to develop an interest in, and enjoyment of, English Literature through reading widely, discussing critically, and writing analytically and accurately. The skills you will be developing as a critical reader underpin many other subjects, particularly Humanities and Languages. Although English Literature has obvious links with History, Philosophy and Ethics and Languages, many students studying Mathematics and Science have found this subject extremely beneficial and discover that it provides an excellent combination, one which is highly regarded by universities. We have a strong tradition of students going on to a degree in English, the passport to many exciting career opportunities in areas such as the media, advertising, law, consultancy, journalism, publishing and teaching.
We ask that students entering the Sixth Form have a minimum of 7 GCSEs or equivalent qualifications with 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 plus 2 at Grade 5 or above. You will need to have achieved at least a G6 in both English and English Literature at GCSE.
