About Your Course

The written word is incredibly complex, powerful and can have a lasting impact for years to come. Through English Literature studies, you can learn how to harness the written and spoken word in powerful ways, enhancing your communication abilities and giving you the desirable transitional skills employers are looking for. 
 
Studying English Literature also allows you to experience eras gone by through ancient texts, helping you to realise the multi sidedness of situations and consider multiple viewpoints, as well as gain an appreciation for the complexity of human nature. 
 
As a student, you can gain an equivalent to a GCSE in English Literature that is recognised globally, by studying an International GCSE (iGCSE) in English Literature. The course is specifically designed to equip you for higher level study of English Literature by providing you with the perfect preparation for further learning. 
 
The course components include the study of poetry and modern prose, as well as modern drama and literary heritage texts. Through these, you will develop the ability to read and respond to various styles of literary texts from around the world. You will also gain an appreciation of the methods writers use to create literary effects.
 
As such, this course is ideal preparation for English Literature studies at college and university. It has also been carefully prepared to ensure the online materials and texts studied are engaging, include a diverse range of writers and are suitable for all students.
