Students studying Welsh-medium provision are supported by Academi Hywel Teifi
It is possible to study through the medium of Welsh across a wide range of subjects - we have provision in every faculty.
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. 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.
Hi, I'm Ruby your Students' Union Welsh Affairs Officer!
Born and raised in the Rhondda, Ruby Cradle, who has just graduated in English Literature, is the new Welsh Affairs Officer for the Swansea University Students’ Union for the coming year. She will be responsible for promoting the Welsh language and culture throughout the University, as well as looking after the interests of Welsh-speaking students. “I am extremely proud to have the opportunity to highlight the importance of Wales’s heritage and culture to all students,” said Ruby Cradle, who was elected to the position earlier this year.
“Welsh culture has been an important part of my life since I was young—attending the Eisteddfod with my family and representing my school in Urdd competitions. My hope is to integrate traditional Welsh life into every aspect of the University experience by showcasing and celebrating its value, and by acting as a bridge between the Welsh language and the wider University community.” Ruby joins a team of six full-time officers at the Union—a charity that serves as the voice for approximately 20,000 students and operates across both of the University’s campuses.
