English Literature A-Level is highly regarded by universities because it demonstrates that you can organise sound arguments that are relevant and logically presented, and that you have highly developed critical and analytical skills. English Literature explores those texts that are generally thought of as ‘art’ – poems, plays and novels. It is a course well suited to individuals who read for pleasure and who enjoy discussing what they read. English Literature is regarded as a ‘facilitating subject’ by universities – that is, it is of sufficient quality to count for applications in any subject to Russell Group universities. Students have gone on to study a very wide range of subjects at university. In addition to English and related subjects, you can read for degrees in such subjects as Anthropology and Archaeology, Biology, Chemistry, Criminology, Law, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Physics, Psychology, Theatre, Film and Television to name just a few. English Literature is an interesting and highly valued course that will open up a wide range of possibilities for the future.
