Neha, A-levels English Literature, History, Economics
"I took both English Language and English Literature at Petroc and thoroughly enjoyed them both. I particularly loved the way in which both subjects helped me to develop skills in different areas, despite being under the same 'umbrella'.
I am now hoping to do an English Literature degree at Exeter University, thanks to the way in which college helped me rekindle my love of English.
I would really recommend the study of one or both of these subjects at Petroc - you won't be disappointed!"
Rebecca, A-levels: English Language, English Literature, and Classical Civilization
“I’ve thought about being an English teacher since I was six and feel like A-levels have fully prepared me for the rest of my career both academically and in teaching me how to manage myself. To future students I would say ‘If you truly love and are good at what you do, people will seek you out"
Emily, A-levels: English Literature, Psychology, Art, Craft & Design
