English course requirements

It is essential that applicants should have English Literature as one of their A Level (or equivalent) subjects. Where straight English Literature is not offered at an applicant's school/college, the combined English Language and Literature A Level is acceptable.

Modern/Classical Languages and History are also useful subjects, though not essential, and many successful applicants have studied Mathematics and science subjects.

Check College websites for College specific requirements. See also Entrance requirements and our Subject Matters leaflet for additional advice about general requirements for entry, qualifications and offers.
