A qualification in English Language is extremely valuable. It is useful when applying for training or employment in most fields and admission to most degree courses. During this course, you will develop your written and analytical skills to a high level, which is particularly valuable for jobs within professions such as journalism, publishing, advertising, speech and language therapy, management, law, teaching, and business.
“English has developed both my writing and speaking skills. It has also taught me about gender and power in language which I’ve found very interesting!”
A minimum of 6 grade 4s, including a grade 5 or above in GCSE English Language, is required. GCSE Maths must also be at grade 3 as a minimum. If GCSE Maths is at a grade 3, you would have to resit it.
