What's available in Welsh
Swansea University has diverse and exciting opportunities for for those with an interest in studying partly or entirely through the medium of Welsh. There are a number of scholarships and bursaries available if you study through the medium of Welsh.
When you leave school or college, continuing to study through the medium of Welsh will give you the best education. There are opportunities for students who are confident and fluent in the language as well as opportunities for those who are less confident or are learners. There is something that will suit everyone: from degree courses which are completely through the medium of Welsh to courses where some modules are offered in Welsh, or in some departments it is possible to have Welsh language seminars and tutorials for modules which are mainly taught through the medium of English.
You have a right to present coursework and sit exams through the medium of Welsh, even if you have chosen to complete courses through the medium of English. or further information, visit our Student' Welsh language rights page.
By continuing to study your course completely or partly through the medium of Welsh, you will develop your skills in two languages - Welsh and English - which will open doors for you when you leave the university.
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.
