English literature at Cardiff has long enjoyed an international reputation for its teaching and research. But more than this Ð we pride ourselves on nurturing a friendly, personalised and supportive environment for our students. We aim for the best and for success in all we do.

Our curriculum offers access to the whole span of English literature, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the 21st century. Nor is the curriculum restricted to the printed word Ð we are intrigued by the connections between literature and film, art, music, history, language and popular culture, and our teaching reflects these interests.

There are no compulsory modules in English literature at Cardiff after year one. We give you choice Ð but we also give you the skills and knowledge to make informed decisions from a diverse range of options which includes creative writing.
