financial support for EU student intending to study A-levels?

Even if you have an A Level in English if the majority of your secondary education was not in English then you will have to take the IELTS - a girl I was at school with joined our sixth form to do A levels for the 2 years and still had to take the test despite speaking fluent English. My Italian tutor still had to take the test despite having a first degree in English language and literature when she wanted to study a Masters in the UK.

You could get a job but if you're aiming for straight A*s at A level then it might be tricky to work around this coupled with you being blind making it a little tricker to find suitable employment. I would guess at minimum wage you would need to work full time to pay rent, bills and food. I do find it strange that you haven't contacted any universities to check admissions requirements, alternatives that might mean you can afford to do this - accreditation of prior learning/Access courses. You say you want to do A levels for the knowledge but if you don't have the money then you'll need to be more flexible

As others have pointed out, your first move should be to contact the universities where you would like to study. They will be delighted to let you know about the range of courses that they would regard as providing suitable preparation for the degrees in English Literature that they offer, and about the qualifications that they would require for you to join them as a student. There are many issues to consider: 'A' levels are designed for eighteen-year olds and are not really suitable for someone with tertiary qualification; and many 'A' level and equivalent courses are offered in distance-learning mode, and so might be more practical for you. You might look at relevant Access courses, and also at the Foundation modules offered by the Open University in distance-learning mode.

A Levels are not everything. Many UK sixth forms and colleges are moving away from these, or teaching other qualifications alongside it. The school where I did my A Levels now offers the International Baccalaureate as standard with the option to do A Levels if pupils prefer.

What about this course? http://www.truro-penwith.ac.uk/ft/fda-english-studies/
