Course summary

An MA by Research in Welsh enables you to undertake a substantial project rooted in your own Welsh passions and interests. It offers you a respected MA qualification in specialist areas where taught programmes are not offered, and gives the experience of a substantial research degree, without committing to a PhD. You will submit a thesis of up to 40,000 words, demonstrating original research with a significant contribution to the subject. This is followed by an oral examination of the thesis (a viva voce examination, or viva). Completing the programme can present a pathway to a career in academia, or widen your scope for employment in fields such as education, government bodies or the private sector. Welsh research specialities at Swansea include: Bilingualism and language planning Theory of literature, Translation techniques and technology, Literature over the centuries, Devolution.
