With a combination of academic and professional-writing skills, possible careers include public relations, marketing, local government, broadcasting and journalism, publishing, teaching, arts and heritage sectors.
BA Welsh with Journalism provides a solid academic foundation in Welsh (two thirds of your course) plus the opportunity to study practical and academic modules in journalism (a third of your course). You will learn about journalism’s core requirements, without closing the door on the many other fields that require a degree in Welsh. For those with a combination of high level skills in academic and professional writing, potential careers include journalism, broadcasting, public relations, marketing, translation, local government, publishing, teaching, the arts and heritage.
Welsh at Bangor is a living language of the present day rather than a relic of the past. Here you will have the opportunity to not only study and enjoy one of the most remarkable Celtic literatures in the world, but there will also be opportunities to pursue more practical modules that will prepare you for a career. This course will enable you to research independently, to practise original thinking, to get to know Welsh literature and culture in depth and to master the various registers of the language. If you so wish, you will have the opportunity to pursue your creative interests under the guidance of experienced writers and poets. You will also gain an awareness of the Welsh language in wider international contexts. What is the relationship of Welsh with the other languages of the world? How does the fate of the language compare with languages like Basque and Irish? How have Welsh writers and poets responded to global themes such as slavery, the Holocaust and the ecological challenge of the modern industrial world?
