Discover a fresh and exciting approach to studying Welsh with Swansea University’s BA Cymraeg (Ail Iaith). This innovative degree explores the language, literature, and culture of Wales while looking outward to global connections and multiculturalism. You will examine what it means to speak, write, and live through the medium of Welsh in the twenty-first century, gaining a rich understanding of its role in society today.
The programme is designed around three key themes – Creativity, Employability, and Welsh in Society – ensuring a varied and stimulating academic experience. You will explore the Welsh language in an international context, considering linguistic diversity and the challenges and opportunities facing minority languages worldwide. This outward- looking perspective makes your learning relevant and globally informed.
Employability is embedded throughout the degree. You will develop transferable skills in communication, research, translation, and bilingual working, preparing you for careers in education, publishing, broadcasting, public services, and the creative industries. Practical assessments and real-world projects help you graduate with confidence and experience to thrive in a bilingual workplace.
Whether you are fluent or still building confidence, you will be supported in a welcoming, inclusive environment. You will also be encouraged to take ownership of your learning, developing independent research skills that prepare you for postgraduate study or professional roles.
