BA in PROFESSIONAL WELSH

This course responds to the increased demand from employers for students who have high quality skills in Welsh which can be transferred easily to the workplace. You will study a variety of topics related to the Welsh language and literature with a strong emphasis on practical and occupational aspects. You will gain work experience with professional employers and companies.

This course works closely with Canolfan Bedwyr, a centre which has been named after the late Professor Bedwyr Lewis Jones, a previous head of the School of Welsh in Bangor. You will benefit from the national and international expertise that Canolfan Bedwyr has developed over the years. This course allows you to follow a degree with all of the components that would be expected within a traditional degree in Welsh, but with a clear practical route that leads to a variety of different career paths.

Please note: Applications from those who have studied other A Level subjects through the medium of Welsh will be considered on an individual basis.

Some of the public sector companies that have supported this new degree are Natural Resources Wales, Snowdonia National Park and Authority, Menter Iaith Môn and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service. Such support adds to the professional integrity of this programme.
