We have a strong, intellectually stimulating and vibrant research culture into which postgraduates are inducted and embedded.

Overview

Our research community of academics and scholars are committed to producing world-class research and our ranking at 7th place in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework is evidence of our strong international reputation for excellence.

Our research programme aims to offer knowledge and expertise in subject-specific and generic skills, qualifying you for both academic and non-academic positions in a variety of organisations.

We offer supervision across a wide range of research topics, including

  • History and memory
  • Culture and identity
  • Languages and translation Studies
  • Global area studies
  • History and ideologies
  • Conflict and development
  • Literary and textual studies
  • Cultural studies
  • Visual cultures.

Distinctive features

We encourage our PhD students to gain teaching experience, however applicants are asked to note that the allocation of teaching is dependent on which modules are running at an Undergraduate or Postgraduate level and may not be available to everyone.

Our Research in Progress seminar series provides students with the opportunity to present papers in a non-intimidating environment. The series is designed to be preparatory to presenting papers at conferences, and also plays a vital role in the dissemination of subject-specific skills.

We play a leading role in language-based area studies within the Wales Doctoral Training Partnership, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

All research students are entitled to call upon a personal allocation of funds which may be spent on legitimate research related activities.
