Overview

This multidisciplinary master’s degree in Celtic Studies at 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.

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 or receive supervision and communication in Welsh, but opt to write their assignments in English.

Career Opportunities

This programme is ideal for those who want to learn more about the history, literature and cultural heritage of Wales and the Celtic regions in order to improve their job prospects.
Many of the students who undertake the course on a part-time basis are already in employment and wish to gain a postgraduate qualification as a possible means to promotion or change of job role.
Former students include journalists, writers, storytellers, teachers, lecturers, editors and people who work in the tourist or heritage industries.
Many of our students have also gone on to further research in Celtic Studies at PhD level.
