English Language and Literature with Foundation Year Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Are you a student from the UK interested in studying English Language and Literature, but your personal or educational circumstances mean you are unlikely to achieve the grades typically required for Oxford courses?  If so, then English Language and Literature with Foundation Year might be the course for you.\
\
English Language and Literature with Foundation Year is part of the Foundation Year in Humanities and introduces you to the study of texts, language and culture across a range of periods and contexts. You will begin with a broad exploration of the Humanities before moving towards more focused study that prepares you for your chosen degree pathway.  

* Through your work, you will develop skills in close reading, analysing texts and constructing well-supported arguments.

* You will explore how meaning is shaped through language, and how literary works can be understood in relation to their historical and cultural contexts.

* In your final term, you will complete an extended essay on a topic of your choice, allowing you to develop your interests and build your skills in independent research and writing.

* Alongside your subject studies, you will take the Preparation for Undergraduate Studies course, which supports your development in academic writing, communication and independent study.
