English Literature

Course summary

Students are encouraged to develop their enjoyment of literature, think critically, analyse the ways in which writers shape meaning, and evaluate different interpretations of texts. Successful students will write elegantly, articulating their understanding with sensitivity, sophistication, precision and accuracy. Every year, students are inspired to read English Literature at university. This could lead to a number of careers, but most directly to law, journalism, media, film, writing, creative arts, marketing, speech therapies and publishing.
