English Language & Literature A Level

... United Kingdom
... South and City College Birmingham

Course Overview

A Level pathways are designed to prepare you for higher education and beyond, be it a degree, research or a wide range of careers. In year one you will study the AS specification and take exams in May/June. If successful, you will progress to year two and complete the full A-level.

This course is based on two disciplines within English study's main areas of study: English literature which covers drama, prose and creative writing and English language which includes language, syntax, grammar and phonology. You will develop your own writing skills and an understanding of how language is used for different audiences.

You will have the opportunity to go on a number of theatre trips. AS and A2 groups regularly go to see productions at the RSC in Stratford-Upon-Avon and The Lowry Centre in Manchester. The College also has strong links with the English department at Aston University and the students have bi-annual attendance at undergraduate lectures by the professors in residence.

General Eligibility

You will need 5 GCSEs in curriculum subjects, grades 4 or above, to include English language at grade 5 or above.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • IELTS 5.5; Reading and writing must be at 5.5
