Hi Lauren,

Some great universities you are applying for. Our English Literature course is 3rd in the UK (out of 94) for student satisfaction- (Complete University Guide (English) 2025). You may be able to study abroad as part of your course. You can choose spend a semester or full year abroad. We have exchange agreements with universities in many countries.

Seeing you have applied for Manchester, Preston is a smaller city however has lots to offer and is only about an hour train journey to Manchester. We have great transport links in Preston as well as something to do for everyone! 🙂

Here's some more information about the course, the requirements and how to apply: English Literature, BA (Hons) Degree Course - UCLan

Hope this helps and best of luck,
^Zac 🙂

Hi Lauren 28119,
It's great to hear that you are considering Sheffield! Are there any questions you have about Sheffield, accommodation, or university in general? :smile:
