Course summary
Taught entirely in Welsh, the BA Cymdeithaseg gyda Pholisi Cymdeithasol is ideal if you dream of someday improving social and welfare conditions in Wales or on behalf of Welsh citizens. You can choose to study English language modules and we run an alternative BA (Hons) Sociology and Social Policy taught in English. As well as examining national and global problems, such as inequality or climate change, our focus on Wales and Welsh issues provides a real sense of what is happening in local communities. Youll consider pressing social issues like homelessness and lack of affordable housing, for example, or poor broadband connection in the Welsh countryside. The Welsh medium teaching teams expertise in teaching sociology through the medium of Welsh led to the production of the ground-breaking ‘Pecyn Adnoddau Amlgyfrwng Cymdeithaseg series, currently used in schools and universities across Wales. Their subject-specific knowledge also encompasses social change and conflict, education, language, identities (race, democracy, nation), social issues (health, housing and social inequality), crime and justice, media, music, political action and technology. We are the only university where you can study your Sociology and Social Policy degree entirely in Welsh. Our bilingual community is an integral part of Bangor University and around 70% of staff have skills in the Welsh Language. This enables you to meet and study in a friendly, supportive environment with other Welsh speaking students and staff. This Welsh medium BA (Hons) Sociology and Social Policy provides a solid foundation in the key concepts and approaches of two complementary disciplines. Sociology examines the causes and impact of social problems, while Social Policy provides the insight to better address societys needs and rights. The degree programme is also suitable for those with an interest in public administration. You will explore contemporary social and political issues, such as poverty, housing and education, identifying causes and solutions. Hearing opinions of students from all over the world, with differing backgrounds and experiences, opens you up to new perspectives. Youll also hear first-hand experiences from those supporting social change. Guest speakers have previously included Race Council Cymru, Social Workers Without Borders, Action For Children, HM Courts and Tribunals Services, Gwynedd Council, and Antur Waenfawr. While visits to local and national government offices allow you to see policy making in progress within a devolved Wales. Placement Year and International Experience Year Available
