Taking the next step

Two student perspectives

If you enjoy studying English literature at A-level, you might be thinking about applying to a literature course at university. Here, two first-year undergraduates, Rosie Lewis and Tabitha Hayward, talk about their experiences

What’s an average week’s work like on your course?

My course is split throughout the week: English on Mondays and Tuesdays, drama on Thursdays and Fridays. On the English side, I currently attend 1:1 tutorials, seminars in groups of 15–25 and lectures for two modules, ‘Critical reading II’ and ‘Early English texts and contexts’. On the drama side, I attend lectures, seminars and physical workshops for two further modules, ‘Making theatre’ and ‘Reading theatre’. These modules only take up ten hours of my week in total. However, my tutors recommend that ten hours of work is done per week for each module, whether that be primary or secondary reading, essay or presentation work, research or rehearsal.
