On our BA in Welsh, you'll develop a thorough understanding of the Welsh language, its literature and culture. You’ll achieve a high level of skill in written and spoken Welsh, key skills in collaboration and critical thinking, and well-developed employability and creative skills relevant to modern Wales and beyond.
We’ll support you to engage critically and creatively with the opportunities and challenges facing Welsh as a minority language in an open-minded and collaborative way, with consideration of the importance of cultural and environmental sustainability.
We welcome those who’ve studied Welsh either as a first or second language. If Welsh is a second language to you, you’ll be provided with specific modules in the first year to practice and enhance your communication and language skills. After this, first and second language students come together with further support for second language students in language and communication tutorials.
Core modules form the backbone of the degree and give a strong foundation for exploring language, literature, identity and sustainability across both historical and contemporary contexts. Optional modules allow you to tailor your studies to your personal or professional interests, with opportunities to delve into areas such as language policy and creative writing. You’ll also develop your professional skills and deepen your understanding of the role of the Welsh language in the workplace through a dedicated work placement where Welsh is used every day.
You'll bring your skills and knowledge together by undertaking a research project or creative portfolio where you’ll take ownership of your learning by designing and delivering a project on a topic of your choice related to Welsh.
You’ll graduate with a range of professional skills, including collaboration, communication and critical analysis. You’ll also be aware of the linguistic and cultural challenges that face multilingual societies in global contexts, and have the ideas and confidence required to solve them.
