Welsh and Welsh History BA (Hons)

About This Course

You will study two areas which have defined our notions of Wales and Welshness over the past hundred years. In Welsh, you will study literature and language which extends from the early northern-British poetry of Aneirin to the authors of post-industrial Wales. Welsh History will look at the evolution of Wales, its politics, society, industry and religion through the centuries and its relationship with broader historical forces. Graduates of Welsh and Welsh History are employed in the civil service, local government, broadcasting, publishing, teaching, arts and heritage sectors.
