Overview

Celtic Studies (Part-time) from The University of Wales Trinity Saint David allows students to study a wide variety of subjects in the following fields: early and late medieval history and literature, Welsh language, gender studies, Arthurian literature, folklore, religion, spirituality and iconography.

Quick Facts:

No previous knowledge of the Celtic languages is required for this programme, as students study texts in translation and the programme is taught through the medium of English. However, students may choose to study Welsh as part of the programme and it is also possible for students who are fluent in Welsh to study their modules entirely through the medium of Welsh [see Astudiaethau Celtaidd (MA)] or receive supervision and communication in Welsh, but opt to write their assignments in English.
In Part One, each module is worth 30 credits and in addition to the two compulsory modules HPCS7003 Conceptualizing the Celts and HPCS7002 Celtic Arthur and the Mabinogion Tales, students will choose two optional modules from the list of optional modules noted below.
In Part Two, students are given the opportunity to research in detail a topic which has particularly appealed to them and write an extended dissertation. They will be allocated a supervisor to help guide them through their dissertations. We also collaborate with the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies and some of our MA students are supervised by staff from the Centre who also offer great expertise in Celtic Studies.
Available through the medium of English or Welsh. Students with no previous knowledge of Welsh are given the opportunity to learn Welsh as part of the programme.
