BA Welsh / International Relations

On this course you will divide your time between the Department of Welsh and Celtic Studies and the Department of International Politics - two departments with excellent reputations. Both departments were established over a century ago but have moved with the times to offer innovative courses that are relevant to the twenty first century. You will study Welsh modules that come under the main themes of expertise of the staff who teach our Welsh degrees. These are creative writing, Welsh in the professional workplace, and translation studies. International Relations is a completely dynamic subject and the modules reflect the liveliness, energy and developments of a world that is rapidly changing. The combination of excellent teaching and exciting research in both departments creates a unique and exceptional experience within a friendly environment. You will also have plenty of opportunities to develop transferable skills that will improve your career prospects. On the Welsh modules, you will deepen your understanding of the language, the wealth of its literature and its culture, with modules varying from the history of our literature to contemporary literature, and from the sociology of the Welsh language to creative writing and scripting. In addition to that, you will become part of the Welsh buzz in the Department. On the International Relations modules you will study themes such as power and justice, conflict and cooperation. You will study the human condition and the way in which human societies engage with each other, and deal with the full range of global changes from the perspective of the economy, culture and politics. International Relations is an exciting and interdisciplinary subject that includes Politics, History, Philosophy, Law, Geography and Sociology to seek to understand the world around us and the problems we face. 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. Lecturers in the Department of International Politics are all research active and qualified to PhD level, and most also have a PGCHE.
