Wow, I've heard Newcastle and Southampton are meant to be really good for English lit!

Posted from TSR Mobile


Really? I thought Southampton was more an engineering/sciences uni. I know Newcastle is in the top 5 for research in English though. Bit sceptical about applying there as it is very far from North London

I've heard it specialises in engineering but my friend said the lit department there is really good

What are you planning on studying and at which Unis? ☺️


Sorry for the late reply! I'm wanting to study English language and linguistics at either Southampton, Aston, Essex, Portsmouth or Bedfordshire!

Hi there, just got my application sent off for English Language and English Literature, so excited and nervous! Applying to Reading, Westminster, Brighton, Portsmouth, and probably Oxford Brookes. :smile:

I've applied for English and Spanish at Exeter, Birmingham, Southampton, Nottingham and Sheffield. All have been acknowledged but no offers yet :frown: But I've been looking all over TSR and I don't think there are many Unis giving out English offers yet. Maybe the department is just a bit slower? I know it's only October but I'm feeling super tense already...


Russel Group unis are always mega slow!!

Had an offer from York for English and from Surrey for English Literature with Creative Writing, and I'm waiting to hear back from UEA, Essex and Reading for English Literature.

EDIT: Offer just come through from UEA, so now just waiting on Essex and Reading.


Hi, what grades/predicted grades did you apply to Reading with and have you got an offer from them yet?

I'm applying for English Literature, and I have some unis in mind, but I haven't narrowed it down to 5.
I'm thinking Bristol, Nottingham, Newcastle, Manchester, York, Birmingham, Sussex, Southampton maybe Leeds and Kent as my low offer.
I got AABE at AS and A*AAABBBBBB at GCSE


I've applied for English literature! Where have you chosen? :smile:

Well, thanks very much! The same to you!
I'd apply to English literature but I'm so bad at it! Also have been put off applying to English language because of the coursework, I just can't seem to do it! I'm going to decide which degree to do tomorrow, god I'm so confused

Has anyone applied for English at Leeds? They're the only uni who haven't got back to me and I was hoping to firm them :frown::frown:

I've applied and they haven't gotten back to me either! I read in their prospectus that they always interview before they will give you an offer
I'm applying for English as well! Took me some time to make my final uni decision, I'm applying to St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and Stirling.
