COURSE DETAILS
Explore powerful stories, ideas and voices through literature while developing critical thinking, analytical and communication skills valued across the creative industries and beyond.
This two-year course is ideal for students who enjoy reading, discussion and exploring how writers reflect society, culture, identity and human experience through literature. You will study a range of texts across different periods and genres, developing your ability to interpret, analyse and debate complex ideas with confidence.
Through novels, plays and poetry, you’ll examine themes such as power, relationships, conflict, identity and social change while strengthening your written communication and independent research skills. You will also learn how to construct detailed arguments, present informed opinions and engage critically with different interpretations of texts.
Studying English Literature alongside creative subjects offers a strong balance of analytical and creative thinking, helping students develop skills that support progression into Higher Education and a wide range of creative and professional careers.

OUTSTANDING Student Experience
The Northern College of Art had an exceptional history for its further education when formerly known as The Northern School of Art, and Cleveland College of Art and Design prior to that. The institution previously achieved an Ofsted rating of Outstanding in 2009, and held it consecutively across all inspections until the last inspection under the Education Inspection Framework in 2025. The institution is one of only a handful of colleges to make this achievement.
