Medieval Studies is an interdisciplinary degree at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels that explores all aspects of the medieval world.

The University has a long and distinguished tradition of the teaching of English and Creative Writing. The University's first Professor of English was appointed over a century ago; and we were also one of the first University's to offer Creative Writing at undergraduate and post-graduate level in the UK from the mid 1990s. We are also one of the few Universities to offer specialist TEFL training as an optional pathway on our degrees. As part of the recently created School of Cultural Studies, based on the Lampeter campus of Trinity Saint David University, the staff team includes expertise in textual scholarship and in such areas as Medieval, Early Modern studies, Romanticism, Contemporary Literature and Welsh Writing in English. The School is home to the Centre for Creative Writing whose staff includes prize winning and acclaimed authors such as Dic Edwards, Menna Elfyn and Samantha Wynne- Rhydderch all of whom take a full and active role in the teaching of creative writing at all levels. The staff and students also make use of the Roderic Bowen Library which holds over 35,000 rare books manuscripts and first editions. Our size means that we are able to offer a diverse range of approaches to teaching. As well as lectures, you will take part in small scale seminar, tutorial and workshop sessions where you will be able to develop a full range of analytical, critical and creative skills. Our courses have been designed to be both academically and creatively challenging and rewarding and to give students the best possible employment opportunities, through the use of a range of traditional and non-traditional modules and assessment methods. Our employability rate of over 80% (excluding students who go no to further study) is one of the highest in the country.
