English Literature  

The Conservatoire’s Language, Literature and Culture programme, under the guidance of its highly experienced tutors, encourages students to take up new interests, to polish existing skills and to enjoy discussion and interaction with others in an informal environment. Over the last two years we have also developed highly successful one-off workshops in our Taste of Italy series, which offer snapshots of the culture, food, wine and language of a number of different regions.
