Foundation Certificate in English Literature
Do you love reading a wide range of books, and discussing your reading with others? Would you like to study literature in more depth and develop solid skills in critical analysis? Our part-time Foundation Certificate in English Literature covers a range of writing from Shakespeare to the twentieth century and teaches skills in the analysis of literature, including the ability to read closely and to recognise and apply approaches in contemporary literary theory.
Taught part-time over two years, the course is equivalent to the first year of a full-time undergraduate English degree.
Two study options are available, so you can choose your preferred mode of study to fit around your work, home or family life.
