What our Undergraduates Say

Miriam James (BA Law and Welsh student)

“ I wasn’t sure if I wanted to study ar Aberystwyth at first, but I’m so glad that I decided to do so…I feel that all the modules that I’ve studied have been interesting and certainly that there are a variety of modules available.”

Meleri Thomas (BA Welsh student)

“My main interest is recent Welsh literature and I’m confident that the degree study scheme that I’ve chosen will prepare me for a career in the literary world.”

Stephen Owen Rule (BA Welsh and the Celtic Languages student)

“I come from a non-Welsh speaking family from Leeswood, a small village in Flintshire…There are plenty of opportunities for me to practise my Welsh – in the shops, at work, on the street and, in that all important place – the pub! I feel a part of the Welsh community in Aberystwyth.”

Ffion Eluned Owen (BA Welsh and Geography student)

“I really enjoy the ‘Cymraeg Ddoe a Heddiw’ Welsh  module where we study  the development of the Welsh language and look in detail at the different dialects in Wales, a very interesting subject as there is a range of different dialects in the class.”

Sioned Wyn Huws (BA Welsh and Welsh History student)

“The (Welsh) Department has a warm and friendly atmosphere and offers a variety of modules to study, whatever your interests or expertise.”

Enfys Hatcher (BA Welsh and Geography student)

“Both the Welsh Department and the Geography Department are excellent. These were the two subjects I wanted to study, and here in Aberystwyth both are available as a joint honours degree, which is perfect for me.”

Amlyn Jones (BA Welsh and History student)

“My sister was a student here in the University, and this was one reason for choosing Aberystwyth…(also) I knew that Aberystwyth’s Welsh Department is the best in Wales. There is also a very good History Department here.”

Manon Wynn Davies (BA Welsh student)

“The Welsh degree course appealed to me, and I was keen to meet people who shared the same interests as me. Living in Neuadd Pantycelyn has been an excellent way of making very good friends and to become a part of the strong Welsh community there.”

Rachel Morgan (BA Welsh Student)

"There is a strong Welsh community here, Neuadd Pantycelyn is great, and the Union of Welsh Students in Aberystwyth (UMCA) organises all kinds of Welsh activities, the National Library is really close by, there are plenty of extracurricular activities and living beside the sea is fabulous (especially for someone like me who is used to being surrounded by mountains!)"

Martin Crawley  (BA Welsh student)

“I have enjoyed the Creative Writing module immensely. It gives you the opportunity to follow a really interesting course which is completely different to the other modules on offer.”
