Particular Literature specialisms at Glamorgan include the Gothic, literature and science, modernism, Welsh writing in English, and women’s writing. In studying language modules you can develop your understanding of how language works whether in everyday talk, the media, the work place, or bi-lingualism. Creative Writing is taught through workshops which will introduce you to a range of genres including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, journalism and writing for children.
The ability to use language with care and discrimination is highly prized by employers. Our graduates go on to a wide range of interesting and challenging careers including publishing, teaching, public relations, human resources, journalism, advertising, the civil service, broadcasting, corporate communications, forensic linguistics, as well as postgraduate study and research.
