The School of English Literature was founded in 1884. In 2016, we still continue the tradition of an inclusive approach to teaching English Literature and Creative Writing. The School is an International Centre of Excellence in the areas of English Literature and Creative Writing. We are delighted that we are No. 1 in the UK for English Studies (National Student Survey 2016), with 100% Student Sat
isfaction. We are also proud to be in the UK Top 10 for Research Intensity (REF 2014). Our team of researchers and teachers work across a broad range of fields - with specialisms including Arthurian Literature, Welsh Writing in English, the History of the Book, and Transformative Writing, among many others. Our internationally recognised research informs our award-winning teachers, and we are delighted to offer a broad range of innovative modules from the beginning of your studies. With award-winning pastoral care, one-to-one support and individualised feedback, we get to know our students as individuals and enable them to pursue their own creative and intellectual interests. Bangor is an inspiring location for creative writing or literary study, situated on the Menai Straits at the foot of Snowdon, and less than three hours by direct train from London! We look forward to meeting you!
