German and Welsh (BA)

  • QR52

4 years (Full-time) / n/a (Part-time) / n/a (Distance / E-Learning)

Within this degree scheme, students will have the opportunity to pair the popular European language of German with Welsh – a language experiencing a resurgence within Wales and beyond. By combining these two courses, students will not only gain valuable linguistic skills, but increase their employability both in Wales and Europe. The time spent on each subject is effectively halved, enabling students to develop their language skills in both subjects. In addition, students will spend their third year studying in Germany.
