In this course, you will be presented with an exciting range of texts and approach the reading and study of literature through the lens of genre and theory, for example by studying ‘Elements of Crime Fiction’ and ‘Aspects of Tragedy or Comedy’. The course encourages wider reading and the independent study of a range of texts, with the opportunity to follow your own interests for the coursework element. The variety of assessment styles, such as passage-based questions, responding to unseen material, single text questions, multiple text questions, and open- and closed-book approaches, allows you to develop a wide range of skills, such as the ability to read critically, analyse, evaluate and undertake independent research, all of which are valuable for both further study and future employment.
Offers of places will be made based on predicted GCSE Grades and applicants will require at least 5 passes at Grade 5 or above; at least a 6 in any subject to be studied at A Level except for Mathematics and the Sciences in which the candidate must have achieved at least a Grade 7.
