About This Course
Law with Welsh is a 3 year Qualifying Law Degree for students who intend to follow a career in Wales, and who wish to ensure they will be able to use their legal skills after graduating with the same ability and confidence in Welsh and English, in order to fulfil the needs of a bilingual society in modern Wales.
Each piece of legislation produced by the Welsh Government is published bilingually. There is therefore a great demand in Wales, not only for lawyers who are able to read and understand both versions of the text, but who can also contribute to drafting court papers bilingually. This demand will certainly increase as the Assembly’s legislative process develops.
Course Content
In compulsory modules you will usually have 2 hours of lectures every week and one hour-long tutorial every fortnight, while in optional courses tuition is by means of weekly seminars, 2 hours in length. Reading and library-based research are required before tutorials and seminars. Written essays and/or class tests are also set. Final assessment is by means of coursework and examinations.

The Bangor Employability Award (BEA) and Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR)
The Bangor Employability Award enables students to build on their transferable skills through the recognition of activities they become involved in during their university life. Students can gain points towards the award through extra-curricular activities such as volunteering, attending workshops or actively participating in the Students’ Union’s clubs and societies.

Academic achievements appear on the report automatically and students are able to note their eligible activities by using the online platform ‘My Employability Hub’. This ensures that future employers are made aware of the additional skills the student has gained outside of the curriculum.
The Award is open to everyone and taking part in the scheme can make a major difference to your performance in the graduate job market.
