WELSH-MEDIUM
Tom Kemp SU Welsh Affairs Officer 2022-2023
Swansea University provides a number of opportunities for you to both study and socialise through the medium of Welsh, and you’re actively encouraged to do so. The University’s Academi Hywel Teifi is a centre of excellence and gives Welsh-speaking students, or those keen to learn the language, the opportunity to study courses through the medium of Welsh and significantly increase graduate employment prospects in the process. Our TEF data over the last two years shows that Welsh-speaking students are high achievers with regards to employability. Swansea University works in partnership with the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and the University’s branch is situated within Academi Hywel Teifi. Its main aim is to provide students with assistance and support to study and socialise through the medium of Welsh. WELSH LEARNERS Would you like to learn or improve your Welsh whilst studying ? There are a range of fun and rewarding courses available – from short beginners’ classes up to proficiency level. We also offer courses for Welsh-speakers who want to improve their Welsh skills. You can learn in a virtual classroom, or in person, during the daytime or evening. If you’re aged 18—25, it’s easier than ever to learn Welsh with new FREE courses starting throughout the year. For students who are over 25, it’s possible to claim a 40% discount when registering for a course.
Shwmae! I’m Tom Kemp, and I’m the Students’ Union Welsh Affairs Officer for this academic year. My main responsibilities are to ensure that Welsh-medium students receive equal opportunities in terms of their education, ensure a bilingual university and to promote the Welsh language, culture, and heritage to the wider student community. My aim for this year is to make Swansea University feel like a Welsh University, not just a university in Wales! If you’d like to find out more about any of the above, you are more than welcome to contact me: tom.kemp@swansea-union.co.uk
