Course summary
This Childhood and Youth Studies and Welsh BA allows you to combine two complementary fields in exciting ways. Childhood and Youth Studies addresses the current demand for qualified specialists who can work with children, young people and their families in a range of contexts, in the community and in organizations. Similarly, Welsh in Bangor is much more than a degree course: it is a complete cultural experience that will enable you to play a professional role in the excitement of creating a truly bilingual Wales. This course offers a combination of a solid academic foundation and a practical and operational dimension: the result is the production of professionals who can cope with the challenges of a modern and vibrant society in a bilingual country. The course offers opportunities to study abroad, as well as to present in conferences, helping you to develop your academic and employability skills. Each year you have the opportunity to go on work placements to develop your understanding of aspects of children's needs and development and to research current issues and practice. Our teaching team has expertise and backgrounds in psychology, sociology, children's rights, linguistics, education, forensics, health and welfare. This rich and diverse learning environment is a unique feature of our course, giving you the opportunity to study childhood and adolescence from many perspectives. Welsh at Bangor is a living language of the present day rather than a relic of the past. You will have the opportunity to not only study and enjoy one of the most remarkable Celtic literatures in the world, but also to pursue more practical modules that will prepare you for a career. This course will enable you to research independently, to practise original thinking, to develop an intimate knowledge of Welsh literature and culture and to master the various registers of the language. If you so wish, you will have the opportunity to pursue your creative interests under the guidance of experienced writers and poets. You will also gain an awareness of the Welsh language in wider international contexts. What is the relationship between Welsh and the other languages of the world How does the fate of the language compare with languages like Basque and Irish How have Welsh writers and poets responded to global themes such as slavery, the Holocaust and the ecological challenge of the modern industrial world From the earliest times to the present, the choice of modules is wide and the opportunities to broaden your horizons are endless.
