Postgraduate Studies through the medium of Welsh
Swansea University provides a number of opportunities for you to study though the medium of Welsh at postgraduate level. If you have been studying through the medium of Welsh at undergraduate level, continuing to study through the language at postgraduate level is a natural step and we actively encourage you to do so.
Academi Hywel Teifi provides a community for the thousands of Welsh-speaking students here, and for the University's Welsh-medium staff. By supporting University departments the Academi has enabled a significant increase in the number of subjects taught through the medium of Welsh in Swansea. Recent developments include our Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) to train future Secondary Teachers in a range of fields.
A degree course is a combination of modules. Modules are worth a fixed amount of credits and you’ll need to successfully complete a series of modules amounting to 120 credits for each academic year. Some are core modules that you are required to study and others are optional modules to complement your interests within the subject.
A number of the latest teaching methods are used to teach Swansea University’s Welsh-medium modules which include multimedia teaching materials, video conferencing, residential courses, hands-on sessions which are organised by professionals and online resources. These support more traditional learning methods such as attending lectures and the library. Swansea University has an excellent teaching space dedicated for Welsh-medium education, thanks to our partnership with the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. Through this dedicated space and the video-conferencing equipment housed within it, our students can follow Welsh-medium modules taught at other universities.
