I study English Literature which is often seen as a boring and basic course. However, at Cardiff we are encouraged to explore all aspects of English. In your first year you are offered opportunities in creative writing, as well as analysing texts from all points of history (medieval to contemporary) and all genres and types of literature (plays, poems, novels, even films and TV are examined).

The faculty are invested in each and every person’s ability to thrive and find their passion, what they’re best at and what they love.

I could not recommend Cardiff enough for an English lit student.

I thoroughly enjoyed the support from the staff and the unique opportunity of the differing module options. Furthermore, the ENCAP writing support are a wonderful aid when you have any immediate questions as they always reply rapidly. Cardiff University is a supportive institution in a lively city and has been a wonderful experience.
