Course summary
The aim of this programme is to produce graduates with a thorough (academic and practical) understanding of the Welsh language, its literature and culture, a high level of written and oral skills and well-developed employability and creative skills relevant to modern Wales.
As we aim to reach the Welsh Governments target of a million Welsh speakers by 2050, there has never been a greater demand for graduates who have this understanding. 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 modern Wales linguistic, cultural and economic future.
This three-year course has two routes, one for students who have studied Welsh as a first language, and one for students who have studied Welsh as a second language. During the first year, these cohorts are mostly taught separately before coming together for the majority of their modules during year two. In the final year, everyone is taught together.
A range of core and optional modules is offered to give you a grounding in language and literature as well as the opportunity to specialise in areas of personal or vocational interest. In addition, you will have an opportunity to undertake a work placement during the second year to develop your confidence and professional skills.
