Overview

The programme is taught by staff who specialise in the field of Celtic Studies at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David and the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies (CAWCS).

Students will develop an understanding of the distinctive features and linguistic concepts that define ‘Celtic’ as a language family and how this concept was influentially extended to the realms of literature, archaeology, art, music and cultural identity.

Why choose this course?

Our students will study a wide range of modules and topics on Celtic culture and Celtic literature, from Antiquity to modern times.

This programme is taught to you via our unique distance-learning platform, so you can carry on working and keep up with your family commitments while you study for your BA degree.

The modules are taught by research-active scholars from the renowned University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies (CAWCS) and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David who have published extensively in their specialist fields, providing a cutting-edge teaching environment.

Learn where to find the most important sources on the Celtic peoples and how to question the various versions of the past that have been put forward by historians, linguists, folklorists and archaeologists.
