Course summary

Study the relationship between English Language and English Literature. You will explore and analyse a range of literary texts from various contexts and historical periods, from Beowulf to the present day, alongside exploring the complex relationships between literature, politics and history whilst considering how words combine to inspire us and move us, to persuade, encourage and amuse us. Study modules may include Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), creative writing, gender and culture, gothic and 19th century literature, and contemporary fiction. Swansea itself has a rich literary heritage; it is the birthplace of Dylan Thomas, widely regarded by many literary scholars as one of the twentieth century's most influential lyrical poets. You will have the opportunity to get involved in projects with the Dylan Thomas Centre and the National Theatre in Wales. Throughout the course, all students have access to events, workshops and employer talks, including an annual conference which support final year students with the transition into the world of work. In the second year, you will have the opportunity to take the highly respected CELTA qualification for teachers of English as a foreign language as well as the option to study abroad for a semester in places such as Hong Kong, China or Singapore, North America, or Canada. Set in parkland overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the breathtaking Gower Peninsula, you will benefit from close access to beautiful beaches and countryside, while being in close proximity to a thriving city centre.
