Why study with us?

  • Welsh is more than a topic in a seminar or words on a sign at Bangor; you'll be able to hear Welsh being used naturally and day to day!
  • Bangor is a centre point for the whole of Gwynedd and so you will here Welsh being spoken in the shops and on the streets. Welsh is not just an academic subject for lecture time only here
  • The linguistic and cultural nature around you - the Welsh students and local people - will be a great help to you with your studies. What better place to master Welsh and study the language up to degree level?
  • The fact that the School is fairly small is an advantage to students as it means more individual attention within smaller teaching groups
  • During the first year, a number of modules have been specially designed for second year students and they have been put together with their particular needs in mind
