BA Welsh / Mathematics

By choosing to study Welsh and Mathematics you will become part of two well established departments with more than a hundred years of experience in researching and teaching. Alongside this tradition, the teaching in both departments is dynamic and thought-provoking. Aberystwyth was the first University in Wales to teach Mathematics and ever since then it has been providing education of the highest quality in a friendly and supportive environment, with the aim of turning Mathematics and Statistics into practical applications.

The Department of Welsh and Celtic Studies at Aberystwyth University is the oldest of its kind in the world. It has been teaching and inspiring generations of students since the very beginning. The Department leads the sector in the areas of creative writing, Welsh in the professional workplace and translation studies.

On the Welsh modules of this degree, you will be introduced to interesting and attractive subjects that are relevant to the way in which we see Wales and the world through the medium of Welsh, and this degree scheme includes Welsh Second Language and First Language paths. The Mathematics modules on this degree will reveal a discipline that is both interesting and challenging that focuses on the ways in which mathematics is essential to modern society and how it contributes to several areas of life, including science, engineering, technology and finance. You will be introduced to the core disciplines of the subject, supplemented by a fantastic collection of optional modules.

All academic staff in the Department of Welsh and Celtic Studies are research active scholars and experts in their chosen fields of study, including the study of languages and literatures as well as creative writing. All lecturers in the Department of Mathematics are qualified to PhD level and are research active. The majority have a postgraduate teaching qualification and new staff are required to complete the PGCTHE.

The department also employs a number of part time tutors, with extensive teaching experience, and some student demonstrators, who are selected from our undergraduate and postgraduate students.
