English & Humanities
This subject area includes A Level courses in English Literature, English Language, History, Geography and Law.
English & Humanities courses explore the social and cultural concerns of humans, encompassing religion, arts, language, gender, history and politics. They are considered ‘facilitating subjects’ and are highly regarded by both universities and employers due to the research, academic writing, problem-solving and critical thinking skills that they typically involve. These subjects also encourage students to demonstrate high levels of writing and reading comprehension skills which are sought after by higher education institutions and employers.
