PhD/MPhil in Welsh Literature (Llenyddiaeth Gymraeg) in Bangor United Kingdom | Bangor University

The MPhil program provides one full academic year for research, culminating in a dissertation of maximum 30,000 words. Students can design their own research path in consultation with their academic supervisor, who will guide their work. We also provide an MPhil in Creative Writing, enabling students to include original creative pieces in their postgraduate qualification.
Our PhD programs typically involve 3 years of full-time study, requiring a 60,000 to 100,000 word thesis upon completion. Recent doctoral research has spanned the entire spectrum of Welsh literature - from medieval texts to contemporary works - exploring diverse areas including popular culture, feminist scholarship, and the study of 18th-century Interludes. Welsh-language research naturally extends beyond Britain's borders, with Bangor University having contributed significant studies on Welsh literary traditions in the Americas.
