Overview
On this BA Welsh (for Beginners) degree course you will learn Welsh as a complete beginner and you can look forward to becoming a fluent speaker, reader and writer of Welsh by the end of your studies. You will start by studying intensive language modules that introduce you to vocabulary, simple patterns and everyday phrases where the emphasis is on speaking the language, and you will be taught in small, friendly groups by teaching staff who are experts in their field. As you move on through the course, you will join other students in the department and will become immersed in Welsh literature. We offer exciting modules on all our courses, and Aberystwyth and its vibrant Welsh community is a place where you can flourish. To complement your studies, you will be able to take advantage of the proximity of the National Library of Wales and its wonderful collection of literary, audio and visual resources, and benefit from the lively Welsh social life in Aberystwyth. You can join UMCA, the union for Aberystwyth’s Welsh students, live in Pantycelyn hall or Fferm Penglais, and take part in a variety of fun activities that are organised for our Welsh speaking students. All academic staff in the Department of Welsh and Celtic Studies are research active scholars and experts in their chosen fields of study, including the study of languages and literatures as well as creative writing.
