Just a bit of background:
I studied Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics at a level and I didn't enjoy the 2 years as much as I thought I would. From those 2 years, I did enjoy some aspects of each a level but I realised that I'm really not suited to study STEM degrees.
I still had an interest in literature (and films but that's a minor interest). I did also enjoy aspects of English literature when I was studying it at GCSE. Because of that, I thought about doing English literature at univerisity.
I have neither studied English literature/an essay based subject at a level nor was I reading English novels during my a levels (because I was spending time reading textbooks about science and maths), therefore, I'm worried about falling behind if I do study English literature at university.
I also thought about English language. Some people say that you don't need to study English language at A level to do English language at university. There's also some science involved in English language from what I've read. Consider the fact that I did study 2 sciences for 2 years, I might be able to pick up English language more easily than English literature?
The thing is, I did not find many recent posts about English language at university on TSR. I did, however, find more recent posts about English literature at university on TSR (don't come for me, it's just my experience).
I really don't know much about English language as much as I know about English literature. Thus, I have to gather more information about English language in order to make a final decision.
