Overview

English Literature BA is one of the routes we place students on most often, and it is offered widely enough that there is usually a fit whatever your profile looks like. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in English Literature expects a high level of written English from the first week. We currently work with 40 universities on this course across 30 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.500 to £32.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
