Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Cymraeg (Welsh) and English Literature (Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

As a joint honours’ student, you will take half of your modules each year in Welsh and half in English Literature. As you read, research, and write, you will develop analytical and critical skills relevant to a wide range of careers.

Explore rich and diverse literary texts from the tales of the Mabinogion to the dynamic literature of contemporary Wales. Our English literature content spans a broad range of genres, periods, cultures and themes, analysing works from contemporary and historical perspectives.

Studying Welsh and English Literature will give you an opportunity to delve into literatures in the early modern period, a period characterized by political, technological and religious transformations as well as look at how grammar works in the living language today. We specialise in literatures from the Middle Ages and Renaissance period, through to Victorian and Modernist and contemporary forms. Our staff have published on topics such as gender and devotion, materiality and book history, social networks and infrastructure.

The School of Welsh contribution to the literary and cultural life of Wales has been crucial. Our academic team include some of the most prominent writers and poets in contemporary Wales. Garnering international acclaim, they have won awards including Book of the Year, Prose Medals, Drama Medals, Chairs and Crowns at the Urdd Eisteddfod and National Eisteddfod. Studying Welsh here at Bangor University means you'll be surrounded by the language, you can engage with academic and support staff, working professionals and potential employers through the medium of Welsh.

English Literature has been an integral part of Bangor University since the University opened its doors in 1884. Our faculty includes published and award-winning authors, and some of the world’s foremost authorities on Arthurian Literature, Thomas Hardy, Shakespeare, Chaucer, early modern literature, the history of the book, and Welsh writing in English.

A big advantage of studying Welsh and English Literature with us is the breadth, choice, and flexibility within the curriculum. You can discover the roots of Welsh identity through ancient and modern history, be inspired by the contemporary politics of a devolved government, look at how the book trade is being reshaping in the 21st century or ways in which literature, film and media shape our understanding of climate change.
