How is the course structured?
The A Level English Literature course is divided into four modules taken over two years.
At AS, students take the first two modules – one for coursework and one that is externally examined.
At A2, students take the second two modules – again, one for coursework and one that is externally examined.
Typically coursework is 40% of the grade and exams are 60% in each year.
