University of Wales (Trinity Saint David)

Swansea , Wales ,United Kingdom

Celtic Studies (BA)

Program Available at Lampeter Campus

Some of the world’s leading experts in the field of Celtic Studies have come together to produce an innovative program that tutors students in topics such as the early Celts, the druids, and Celtic religions, the social histories of the Celtic languages, Celtic hagiography and saints’ cults, classic Celtic literature and folktales, medieval Welsh prose and poetry, representations of Brittany and Cornwall, Welsh and Celtic place names, religious revival in 18th- and 19th-century Wales and the influence of Celtic mythology on contemporary writing.

No previous knowledge of the Celtic languages is required for this program, as students study texts in translation and the program is taught through the medium of English. However, students may choose to learn Welsh as part of the program and it is also possible for students who are fluent in Welsh to study their modules entirely through the medium of Welsh (see BA Astudiaethau Celtaidd).

Students will develop an understanding of the distinctive features and linguistic concepts that define ‘Celtic’ as a language family and how this concept was influentially extended to the realms of literature, archaeology, art, music, and cultural identity.
