On our BA in Welsh and Philosophy, 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. Module options allow you to explore topics such as historic and contemporary Welsh writing, language policy, and professional translation.
Alongside this, you’ll develop a solid grounding in moral philosophy and study epistemology, philosophy of mind, and political philosophy. Opportunities study areas such as aesthetics, feminist philosophy, and phenomenology are available throughout your studies.
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 when you’ll 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’ll be aware of the ethical, social and linguistic challenges that face modern 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.
