WELSH-MEDIUM
GROWTH 135 %
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 for studying the Welsh language, its literature, and culture. It 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. Since 2011, there has been a 135% increase in the number of students studying at least 40 credits through the medium of Welsh at Swansea University and 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 For a rewarding and fun experience why not learn Welsh while studying ? If you want to learn or improve your Welsh, there are a range of courses available – from short beginners’ classes up to proficiency level.

My main role as SU Welsh Affairs Officer is to represent all students of the Welsh community within the University. I can be seen as their main contact with the Students’ Union, ensuring that their voice is heard within it. Throughout the year, my aim is to promote the use of Welsh across campus by increasing educational and social opportunities, and also opportunities for Welsh learners to socialise. I intend to raise awareness of Welsh culture through numerous events and celebrations during the year.
