Academi Hywel Teifi

Welcome to Academi Hywel Teifi

Academi Hywel Teifi is a unique institute established by Swansea University in 2010 in memory of Professor Hywel Teifi Edwards, a former Professor of Welsh at the university and one of the nation's greats.

There are three elements to the work of Academi Hywel Teifi - it is a centre of excellence for studying the Welsh language and its literature, it promotes Welsh-medium teaching and research across the range of subjects offered by the University and it works to ensure a greater status for the language in all aspects of the university's life and in south-west Wales.
