Description
Introduction to the DepartmentSince the founding of the College in Aberystwyth in 1872, the Department of Welsh has played a leading part in Welsh learning and culture, including literature and other media, education, politics and journalism.

Most staff and students concentrate on Welsh, but there are also BA degrees in Irish (available through Welsh or English), in Celtic Studies, and in Welsh and the Celtic Languages.We are proud of our unrivalled standards in research and teaching. The Department was awarded the highest possible grade (5*A) in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, and was ranked second highest of Britain’s Celtic departments after Cambridge in the 2008 RAE, as well as ‘Excellent’ in the latest Teaching Quality Assessment. ...
