On our Welsh and Philosophy (BA) programme, you’ll develop a thorough understanding of the Welsh language, its literature and culture, and engage with key philosophical questions across a broad range of topics and traditions. 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. We’ll support you to engage critically and creatively with difficult problems in an open-minded and collaborative way, including on sensitive and controversial topics.
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 and second years to practice and enhance your communication and language skills. After this, first and second language students come together for the majority of second year, and all final year, modules.Module options allow you to explore topics such as historic and contemporary Welsh writing, language policy, and professional translation.
In Philosophy, you’ll develop a solid grounding in moral philosophy, will also study epistemology, philosophy of mind, and political philosophy, and have the opportunity to study areas such as aesthetics, feminist philosophy, and phenomenology. In the final year of the programme, you can specialise in your preferred areas of study.
Many of our modules directly examine different uses of language. You’ll come to a deeper appreciation of the implications of philosophical thought, providing you with a clear link between theories and their application. This is emphasised in the final year of the programme, where in a core module you will take part in a project to apply philosophical research to develop policies or strategies aimed at solving a real-world ethical or social problem.
During the degree, you’ll have the opportunity to undertake a work placement in a workplace where Welsh is used daily, to develop your confidence and professional skills. You’ll also undertake a dissertation, in which you’ll design and carry out a research project on a topic of your choice related to Welsh language, culture or literature.
You’ll graduate with a range of professional skills, including collaboration, communication and critical thinking. You will be aware of the ethical, social and linguistic challenges that face contemporary society and industry, and have the ideas and confidence required to solve them. The ability to use the Welsh language at a professional level is also extremely attractive to employers, which means that you have a unique opportunity to ensure an interesting and varied career where you can influence the linguistic, cultural, civic and economic future of Wales.
