About the course

An MA by Research in Welsh enables you to undertake a substantial project rooted in your own Welsh passions and interests.

It offers you a respected MA qualification in specialist areas where taught programmes are not offered, and gives the experience of a substantial research degree, without committing to a PhD.

Your project will take one year full-time or two years part-time.

You will submit a thesis of up to 40,000 words, demonstrating original research with a significant contribution to the subject. This is followed by an oral examination of the thesis (a viva voce examination, or viva).
