Postgraduate Studies through the medium of Welsh

Swansea University provides a number of opportunities for you to study though the medium of Welsh at postgraduate level. If you have been studying through the medium of Welsh at undergraduate level, continuing to study through the language at postgraduate level is a natural step and we actively encourage you to do so.

Academi Hywel Teifi provides a community for the thousands of Welsh-speaking students here, and for the University's Welsh-medium staff. By supporting University departments the Academi has enabled a significant increase in the number of subjects taught through the medium of Welsh in Swansea. Recent developments include our Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) to train future Secondary Teachers in a range of fields.
