The PhD/MPhil in Critical and Cultural Theory at Cardiff University enables postgraduate researchers to explore topics in aspects of critical theory including critical race theory, postcolonial theory, feminist theory, gender studies and queer theory, eco-criticism and various approaches developing out of structuralism and post-structuralism.

We value the rich experience of our many overseas students and actively attend to their specific needs in relation to their cultural context of study and, with the support of the School’s Writing Development Centre, the demands of writing elegantly in a second language.
