Developing skills in two languages
Swansea University has extensive and exciting provision if you wish to study through the medium of Welsh and Academi Hywel Teifi is here to support you in doing so throughout your time with us. Academi Hywel Teifi provides a community for the thousands of Welsh-speaking students here supporting and enhancing Swansea University's Welsh-medium education and research provision.Swansea University works in partnership with the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and the University's Coleg Cymraeg branch is situated within Academi Hywel Teifi. 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. For further information, visit our Presenting work and being assessed in Welsh page. These rights have been created as a result of setting 'Standards' on the University. For 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.
