Visit the International Applications section of our website to find out more about our English Language Requirements and pre-sessional English Language Courses.

Visa and funding requirements 

If you are not from the UK and you do not already have residency here, you may need to apply for a visa. 

For courses of more than six months’ duration you will require a Student visa. 

International students who require a Student visa should apply for our full-time courses as these qualify for Student visa sponsorship.  

For full information read our visa application and guides.   

Please note students receiving US Federal Aid are only able to apply for in-person, on-campus programmes which will have no elements of online study. 

Assessments are varied to enable students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways. These include seminar papers and presentations, essays, video analysis and oral lab exam, reflective journal and blogging.

Some modules in this course are available to study through the medium of Welsh either fully or partially. In all cases students will be able to submit written assessments through the medium of Welsh. 

If you choose to study your course either fully or partially through the medium of Welsh, you may be eligible to apply for scholarships and bursaries to support you with your studies.

We are continuously reviewing our Welsh medium provision, the precise availability of modules will vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand. Where your course offers modules available through the medium of Welsh this may vary from year to year, and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means the availability of specific Welsh medium modules cannot be guaranteed.

There are many ways to engage with Welsh culture and life at UWTSD, including joining clubs and societies for Welsh speakers and becoming a member of our vibrant Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol branch.

We also provide a variety of opportunities to learn and develop your Welsh language skills.
