Course Summary

English Literature A-Level will help you develop a sharp analytical mind and teach you how to become a critical reader - two very valuable skills for your chosen career. You will learn about the construction of meaning, the importance of form and point of view, and study works from different time periods and genres.

How will it be delivered and assessed?

You will be assessed through regular feedback during the course, and be required to complete written papers worth 80% of your overall mark. The finally 20% will be made up of a number of coursework-based projects.

Entry requirements

Your next steps...

Following your degree, you could then study a Master's or use your skills to start a career in writing, publishing, journalism, education, marketing, or communications.
