Welsh History BA (Hons)

What is this Welsh History degree about?...

The Welsh History degree gives you the opportunity to focus in detail on the history of Wales from the earliest times up to the present day, providing you with a sensitivity to a Welsh past that will be all around you during your time at Bangor. Many of the modules that you can take as part of this degree programme will be taught in both English and Welsh. 

Of course, although you will specialize in Welsh History, you will still enjoy all the interest, stimulation and experience of a History degree. History remains one of the most popular degree subjects in the UK. It has an established range of concerns, but it is always expanding and changing as it responds to new themes or ideas raised by other disciplines. It is also a very practical subject, and during your degree you will develop various transferable skills that employers value highly. Surveys consistently indicate that History graduates obtain employment more rapidly than graduates in many apparently more 'vocational' subjects.

When making your decision about what you might want to study at Bangor, you should bear in mind that you could choose to read for a degree not only in Welsh History but also in History; History with Archaeology;  History, Heritage, and Archaeology; History with Journalism; History with Film Studies; and joint degrees including History such as History and English.
