Course summary

It is a complete cultural experience that will enable you to play a professional role in the excitement of creating a truly bilingual Wales. In areas such as education, the creative industries and the heritage, broadcasting and media sectors, public relations and marketing, translation, language planning and public administration, Bangor graduates fulfill important roles. They are among the leaders of our contemporary Wales and shaping our future. Welsh at Bangor is a living language of the present day rather than a relic of the past. Here you will have the opportunity to not only study and enjoy one of the most remarkable Celtic literatures in the world, but there will also be opportunities to pursue more practical modules that will prepare you for a career. This course will enable you to research independently, to practise original thinking, to get to know Welsh literature and culture in depth and to master the various registers of the language. If you so wish, you will have the opportunity to pursue your creative interests under the guidance of experienced writers and poets. You will also gain an awareness of the Welsh language in wider international contexts. What is the relationship of Welsh with the other languages of the world How does the fate of the language compare with languages like Basque and Irish How have Welsh writers and poets responded to global themes such as slavery, the Holocaust and the ecological challenge of the modern industrial world From the earliest times to the present, the choice of modules is wide and the opportunities to broaden your horizons are endless. Students from both first and second language backgrounds are accepted to follow this course. It is also a natural progression for students who followed the Welsh for Beginners foundation year. It is also suitable for those who have achieved proficiency in Welsh, e.g. through the Learn Welsh courses at the National Centre for Learning Welsh.
