A particular aspect of this course is the opportunity to attend specialist workshops that will equip you with the skills to create your own original work, whether scripting for television or stage, stage production, a short film, or a radio Program.
Teaching is provided through workshops, lectures, seminars and tutorials. Assessment is based on a combination of coursework (e.g. practical/creative work, oral presentations, essays, and weekly tasks) and examinations, with some modules assessed entirely based on coursework.
The first year is an opportunity to build on your experiences and open new doors, e.g. discuss the language and its art in contexts relating to its history and present-day state, learn new critical skills, respond originally to works of art and develop practical skills in theatre and media.
In your second and third years, you can choose from a wide range of theoretical modules, such as Welsh theatre from the time of Saunders Lewis to Aled Jones Williams and on Meic Povey's television dramas, as well as a wide range of practical modules such as scripting, writing a stage production and producing a short film, to name but a few.
In the third year you will write a dissertation and research an interesting topic of your choice. In the past, many have chosen to research subjects such as the works of various Welsh playwrights, the history of Welsh amateur companies and stage and screen adaptations of Welsh literary works. The options are endless!
