The information below is relevant to students who are Welsh-speaking, but if you’d like to find out about learning Welsh, please go to Learn Welsh at USW for further information. The University supports and encourages students to learn Welsh as they study here – a little can go a long way.
If you are, here is some information for you about how you can use and develop your Welsh-medium skills while you study here at the University of South Wales.
Some students can choose to study modules through the medium of Welsh as part of their studies such as students studying Performance, Business, Criminology, Surveying, Primary Studies, Business and Police Sciences. To find out more visit Study Opportunities.
The university offers an additional short module (5 credits) to any student who can speak Welsh. The purpose of the module is to increase your employment opportunities by equipping you to work in Welsh or bilingual organisations.
You can also apply for a £250 scholarship. Click here to learn more about how to register.
You could apply to present your written assessments through the medium of Welsh in accordance with having a conversation with your tutor or Personal Academic Coach. To find out more about the process, please read this document.
By becoming a member of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, you will receive the latest information about Welsh-medium higher education, including their scholarships, opportunities to apply as an ambassador for the Coleg and an opportunity to work towards the Coleg's Welsh Language Skills Certificate.
