A level English Language AND A level English Literature???

DD is just working out her choices for A level and making applications now. She thinks she might like to do both Englishes. Back sometime in prehistory, I did an English degree but I have no experience of anyone doing A level English Language. It simply was not taught.

What would a university admissions tutor say to someone applying to read English if they did both Englishes at A level? Would it be viewed negatively? Because if so then she probably shouldn't do both. Do you have any insight on this?

The places she is applying to offer either English Literature alone or English Literature and English Language as separate A levels. Thanks for replying. Glad to note that she shouldn't do both.

It's a bit bonkers to be honest, wouldn't recommend it. There is a combined a level eng Lang/lit. What about this?
