English literature

Creative writing.

Reading is a radical act which has the power to transform our thoughts, ideas and behaviours. Writing presses further, empowering us to investigate, experiment and articulate what really matters. Doing both can benefit the world.

The BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing degree at Cardiff Met will help you find and develop your voice as both a writer and a critic. The great authors you study will inspire and influence your writing. Meanwhile, developing your own creative work on the degree will lead to new insights into technique which, in turn, will sharpen your analysis of literary texts. In seminars you will be invited to consider the ways in which literature and writing is alive, engaging with contemporary issues like gender inequality, decolonisation, climate change and more.

At Cardiff Met, it’s not just about close reading and writing craft - you’ll also learn vital professional skills. During the English and Creative Writing degree, you’ll have the chance to compete in our poetry SLAM competitions; read your work at open mic nights; meet published writers and creative practitioners; volunteer at local literary events and festivals; submit your work to our student-led anthology; and much more.

A passion for literature and creative writing can lead to exciting careers in publishing, editing, teaching, law, public relations, civil service, arts management and countless other fields. Through your modules, projects and extracurricular activities, you’ll leave with a portfolio of work that demonstrates your finely-honed skills and abilities. Like so many of our English and Creative Writing graduates, you will leave Cardiff Met ready for a career in the creative industries and beyond.

What students say

How do students rate their degree experience.

The stats below relate to the general subject area/s at this university, not this specific course. We show this where there isn’t enough data about the course, or where this is the most detailed info available to us.

This is usually because there were too few respondents in the data we receive to be able to provide results about the subject at this university.

Who studies this subject and how do they get on?

Most popular a-levels studied (and grade achieved), after graduation.

The stats in this section relate to the general subject area/s at this university – not this specific course. We show this where there isn't enough data about the course, or where this is the most detailed info available to us.

Literature in english

What are graduates doing after six months.

This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.

Top job areas of graduates

The jobs market for this subject - which includes creative writing and scriptwriting courses - is not currently one of the strongest, so unemployment rates are currently looking quite high overall, with salaries on the lower side. But nevertheless, most graduates get jobs quickly. Graduates often go into careers as authors and writers and are also found in other roles where the ability to write well is prized, such as journalism, translation, teaching and advertising and in web content. Be aware that freelancing and self-employment is common is common in the arts, as are what is termed 'portfolio careers', having several part-time jobs or commissions at once - although graduates from this subject were a little more likely than many other creative arts graduates to be in conventional full time permanent contracts, so that might be worth bearing in mind.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

The graph shows median earnings of graduates who achieved a degree in this subject area one, three and five years after graduating from here.

Note: this data only looks at employees (and not those who are self-employed or also studying) and covers a broad sample of graduates and the various paths they've taken, which might not always be a direct result of their degree.

Course location and department:

Teaching excellence framework (tef):.

We've received this information from the Department for Education, via Ucas. This is how the university as a whole has been rated for its quality of teaching: gold silver or bronze. Note, not all universities have taken part in the TEF.

This information comes from the National Student Survey, an annual student survey of final-year students. You can use this to see how satisfied students studying this subject area at this university, are (not the individual course).

This is the percentage of final-year students at this university who were "definitely" or "mostly" satisfied with their course. We've analysed this figure against other universities so you can see whether this is high, medium or low.

This information is from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), for undergraduate students only.

You can use this to get an idea of who you might share a lecture with and how they progressed in this subject, here. It's also worth comparing typical A-level subjects and grades students achieved with the current course entry requirements; similarities or differences here could indicate how flexible (or not) a university might be.

Post-six month graduation stats:

This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.

It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

Graduate field commentary:

The Higher Education Careers Services Unit have provided some further context for all graduates in this subject area, including details that numbers alone might not show

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?

Qualifications

DNSEP Fine-Art (French BA Fine-Art equivalent)

Paul Granjon is a recognised media art and performance artist and educator. His practice based research explores the co-evolution of humans and machines through live performances, exhibitions, participative events and academic publications. He has exhibited internationally since the 1990s, representing Wales at the Venice biennale 2005, with more recent group exhibitions in Manchester Art Gallery (2016), Garage Museum Moscow (2017), Azkuna Zentroa Bilbao (2018) and Arcade Campfa Cardiff (2020). His current interest in creative low-technology, participation and ecology feeds directly into his teaching with Fine-Art and other courses in CSAD. He completed a practice-based PhD in robotic art at Cardiff Met in 2022.​

Current research

My research is practice-led. With self-made machines that are presented in performances, exhibitions, participatory events and academic publications I explore the relationship between humans and technology, and more specifically the co-evolution of humans and machines. By this I mean the way in which the increasingly sophisticated tools produced by human civilisations are changing our relationship to objects, other beings and our planet as well as our self-perception. I question the validity of a creeping digitization that tends to replace living beings with digital programs and creatures, supporting a society based on economic profit and surveillance.

Over the years my interest in adopting the artifacts produced by the technological spiral has dramatically waned, replaced by more vital issues of resilience and ecological implication. My practice uses less and less new materials and includes more and more moments of shared creation, in a participatory art approach. I firmly believe that a renewed relationship with plant, animal and mineral beings and environments, combined with a radically re-imagined use of technology is a crucial pre-requisite for the continuation of life on earth, an approach recently coined as symbiocene by Glenn Albrecht.

Current research include the design and delivery of participative art activities that combine creative technologies and natural aspects. The events aim to alleviate the impact of eco-anxiety [1] on mental health and to stimulate an ecosophical [2] approach to everyday life. Part of this research involves designing tools that combine low and recycled technology with sustainably sourced low-power solutions for programmable electronics, aiming for a minimal use of new resources. Another aspect involves the integration of plants and soil in the artworks, for example the use of clay and sticks in the making of robots.

1- Eco-anxiety: also known as climate anxiety, "a fairly recent psychological disorder afflicting an increasing number of individuals who worry about the environmental crisis." (Castelloe 2018)

2= Ecosophy: a term coined by Félix Guattari, ecosophy comprises three ecological registers, the environment, social relations and subjectivity that must be addressed together so as to tackle "the dangers that threaten the natural environment of our societies" (Guattari, 1989).
