Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Welsh and English Literature] From Cardiff University

The Welsh course is relevant to contemporary Wales and delivered by a school noted for its research quality and impact. The course aims to produce graduates with a thorough academic and practical understanding of the Welsh language, its literature and culture, a high level of skill in written and spoken Welsh and well-developed employability and creative skills relevant to modern Wales. It offers core and optional modules to give you a grounding in language and literature as well as the opportunity to specialise in areas of personal or career interest.

The English Literature 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. While the English Literature course has no compulsory modules, you will gain experience of a wide range of literary texts, periods, movements and genres. Ê

As a joint honours student, you will find that often there are complementary issues and perspectives that link subjects, be they critical analysis, historical contexts or academic approaches.
