The Faculty of English is holding two online study evenings on Thursday 7th and Thursday 14th November 2024. The events are aimed at A Level, IB or Scottish Higher English Literature students who may be considering studying English at university. If you are in Year 11 and thinking about taking English next year you are more than welcome to join us. The event will be held online from 6-7.30 pm GMT.
Programme
The first session will be “What Are We Doing? A Lecture on the Task of Literary Criticism” from Professor Ross Wilson and the second session, on visual culture and for which you will be sent some pre-reading, will be with Dr Amy Morris and will be on “Poems and Monuments”. The second half of the sessions will be spent looking at the English course at Cambridge and the application process and then talking about careers options after completing the course and hearing from some current students (final details tbc).
Application
You need to register for each webinar separately, but we very much hope you can join us for both. Teachers are more than welcome to join using the same registration link.
