Our MA in Welsh: Language and Literature (MA Cymraeg: Iaith a Llenyddiaeth) offers you an exciting opportunity to study various aspects of the language and its literature through the medium of Welsh or English – from the early heroic poetry of Aneirin to 21st-century literature in translation. You are encouraged to complement this with opportunities to learn Welsh within the vibrant environment of Bangor University and the wider community where the language can experienced as a living entity.   Within the flexible course framework, we can tailor the contents to suit your individual interests and you will be supervised by specialists in their different academic fields.   Through a series of short essays you will get an opportunity to extend your interests – this represents a total of 120 credits – and in a 20,000 word dissertation which equates to 60 credits you will get to grips with a specialist topic which truly excites you intellectually.   The rich resources relating to Wales and the Welsh language housed in Shankland Library will be at your disposal together with the outstanding facilities offered by the Archives and Special Collections at Bangor University.   You can follow this course on a 1 year full-time basis or a part-time 2 year basis. Added to that, the scheme is suitable for applicants with a degree qualification in a relevant subject.
