Welcome to UWTSD Lampeter One of the most important choices you will make in life is not just where you go to university, but what sort of education you’ll get while you’re there. When you’re working your way through the Higher Education admissions procedure, it’s easy for you to feel overwhelmed.

At UWTSD Lampeter, we hope to make this process easier for you by giving you a comprehensive insight into UWTSD, particularly the Lampeter campus, where you could be living for 3 years (or more!).

Over the next few pages, we want to introduce you to the things that make Lampeter unlike any other campus, in any other University and show you what makes our courses unique.

Lampeter Town Lampeter is a university town where students and staff are integral to its cultural, economic and community life, and where the town – its people, shops, pubs and groups – are woven into the fabric of the university.

Lampeter offers an alternative, refreshing university experience; there is a vibrancy and energy within the town, where students are welcomed into the community, a tradition that has been upheld for almost two centuries.

Collaboration with the local community

Award-winning cafés & shops

Town Facilities

The local museum, is ideally situated on the Lampeter campus.

Here, students can curate and exhibit artefacts, and gain valuable experience working in the heritage sector with volunteers and staff with ample experience in the industry.

Lampeter hosts an eclectic range of shops covering everything from clothes to camping equipment, and from kebabs to fine dining.

For those who enjoy swimming, there is a leisure centre which is 5 minutes’ walking distance from the campus. Students have free access to the local swimming pool during student sessions, or can use the swimming pool as a member of the public at other times.

Benefitting from our rural roots, an allotment is flourishing on the campus. With the help of staff, students, and members of the town, herbs, vegetables and beautiful flowers are being sown.

The university and town share sports facilities and pitches, while our students play as often for the university teams as for the town ones.

Look out for Conti’s Café & Ice Cream, a longstanding, family-run café which prides itself on its award-winning ice cream flavours, and locallysourced food.

If you are keen on organic produce and healthfoods, the Mulberry Bush is equally renowned for its excellence. A healthfood shop and vegetarian café, the Mulberry Bush was a finalist in the Best Independent Retailer 2014.

There are many pubs in Lampeter, all of which offer superb ales and a mix of students and locals. If you’re looking for a part-time job, there are many opportunities for students to earn some extra cash.

You will find the rest of the university services just a stone’s throw away from the teaching blocks. This includes the research labs, the food outlets, a coffee shop that serves locally produced fairtrade food, library, chapel, mosque, launderette, museum, gym, student services, bar, night club, film club, media centre, students’ union buildings, the IT services and computer rooms; even your post is collected and stored for you!

Immersive Learning at UWTSD Lampeter We are committed in providing the best learning possible for our students, with a view to their academic development and skills acquisition. Too often the image of university teaching remains the stuffy lecture theatre. That is not the case for our students.

Besides lectures, students actively contribute to seminars and workshops and have the opportunity to immerse themselves in their chosen subject area through experiential and problem-solving techniques.

Engagement is paramount in our teaching, whether through expert lectures at the cutting-edge of the academic field, hands-on fieldwork and trips, roleplaying or problem-solving sessions.

We believe in giving our students every opportunity to explore according to their interests and be independent learners and researchers, not only within the curriculum in modules such as the Dissertation, but also through initiatives like the Student Researcher, going to Posters in Parliament or becoming an intern in a local museum. Lecturers and students work collaboratively in discussion and debate, informing one another and encompassing views and ideas outside of their own.

The innovative teaching of UWTSD academics has been recognised and applauded in national and international Teaching in Higher Education conferences.

The Student Researcher Richard Manklow, Third-Year BA Ancient and Medieval History student is on the editorial board for The Student Researcher “My role within The Student Researcher allows me to get involved in a variety of tasks.

As a student member, I give ideas and advice as to how the journal is produced and help to decide what events we organise. So far this year I have attended the British Conference for Undergraduate Research (BCUR) as an observer; I have edited articles that were submitted to the journal that we have decided to publish. On top of this, I have taken a forward role in the recruitment of, and communication with, members of the editorial board. In this role I have developed skills in organisation, planning, publishing, and working in a team.

As a group we have organised our first student-led UWTSD Undergraduate Research Conference and are currently half-way through the editing process for the upcoming journal.�

12 | www.uwtsd.ac.uk

Skills in the Humanities Skills acquisition and development is an integral part of all Humanities degrees, but at UWTSD the curriculum is specifically designed to give all students the opportunity to enhance their skills and their CVs in preparation for employment or further study.

Once you graduate from UWTSD with your Humanities degree you will be a student with the confidence and skills to pursue and thrive in a career of your choice, from working in the Education sector, Government & Politics, to Marketing, Creative Agencies, Heritage, Publishing, Human Resources, Sales, Charitable sector‌ the list is endless.

Student Learning Peer-Assisted Study Sessions In recent years UWTSD have launched the scheme, Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) which encourages students to further develop their skill set and knowledge outside of the lecture theatre whilst giving them the chance to develop key skills that will be extremely useful both in personal and working lives.

PASS is a fantastic opportunity for students to share ideas, discuss their studies, as well as gain support and advice from other students who may want to talk through ideas from past lectures or seminars; discuss future assignments; or talk through particular subject interests.

The PASS scheme is entirely student-focussed, run by students, for students. The PASS leaders are students who are expertly trained at the beginning of the year. Through training and experience, these PASS leaders accumulate a strong set of skills ranging from leadership, teamwork, interpersonal skills, planning, organisation and much more.

Hear from a PASS participant‌

Hear from a PASS Leader‌

The PASS scheme is an exciting opportunity for students at Lampeter such as myself. It offers us the chance to take the lead in our academic learning outside of lectures in sessions run by students for the benefit of students. The sessions are very relaxed to encourage participation from all. As an attendant of several PASS sessions during my first year, I found them an effective way to discuss the course and have general conversations with many students that I often did not see outside of lectures which gave PASS a social aspect which I had not expected.

Hi, my name is Chris and I have been leading PASS sessions in the Hellenistic Greek History module for four months.

I am now very excited to have been selected as a PASS Leader for the coming academic year. This will be a wonderful opportunity to share my experiences of first year with new students, both concerning the course and living in Lampeter.

PASS is an exciting new initiative being piloted at UWTSD that revolves around student-centred learning. The idea is that students who have previously completed the chosen module are able to help and advise students currently taking the module. This can range from academic support, such as clarifying points from lectures, to practical help that might not be mentioned in lectures. It can also revolve around further discussion of a particular point, allowing students to explore an issue in depth, or it can help students find relevant resources that have been useful in the past. The possibilities are endless!

In my experience, leading PASS sessions has been interesting and fun. It has helped develop my skills in organising and leading groups of students. Most of all, it has increased my confidence in such activities.

As a postgraduate student who hopes to lecture one day, PASS has been an immensely helpful step in my career. PASS made me more aware of the advantages of a student-centred approach to learning, which I hope to use in future. The skills I have learnt here are Troy, BA Ancient History applicable in a variety of situations. I wish to thank the PASS supervisors for all of their efforts, and all the students who attended and made leading the sessions such an enjoyable experience.

I am privileged to be given the chance to assist in making PASS the best it can be for the unique and personal experience of attending university at Lampeter. Finally, I believe for me that PASS is about encouraging students to get the most out of their university course in a relaxed and student-led way which greatly complements the learning experience at Lampeter.

The University has a long and distinguished tradition of Philosophy provision dating back to 1827, when the original St. David’s College offered its first students courses in logic and metaphysics.

The current philosophy team provides a rich balance between the different traditions, styles and subjects of Philosophy.

The small class sizes allow for the development of personal and informal relationships between staff and students. Such relationships are fundamental to philosophical dialogue and conducive to student satisfaction, but unfortunately are all too rare in academic life today. The Philosophy team is friendly and supportive, and is renowned for providing a welcoming, stimulating and socially enriching environment for new students.

Studying Philosophy encourages the development of core skills highly prized by employers: philosophers think clearly, logically, and creatively; communicate articulately and accurately; analyse critically and rigorously. Philosophy graduates are all-rounders: thoughtful, insightful, and versatile.

Philosophy The BA Philosophy provides a rich balance of both analytic and continental styles of philosophy, as well as the study of ethics, political philosophy and Eastern Philosophy.

The programme is delivered through lectures, seminars and tutorials. Class sizes are kept small, so that students have plenty of opportunity to engage with the arguments and debates.

The MArts Study of Philosophy builds on the BA Philosophy degree by offering an additional year of study, funded in the same manner as an undergraduate degree.

In the fourth year of study students explore contemporary debates in philosophy. The programme is especially suited to students who wish to go on to pursue research degrees and careers in philosophy.

“My experience at UWTSD has been enriched by the tireless efforts of the members of the Philosophy department. They continue to encourage, support, and further my ability to work towards my potential by offering me sound advice, motivation, and access to resources.

The real strength of the Philosophy department is its willingness to match your efforts in working towards your personal success.�

Typical modules The Self

Courses

The idea that someone is the same person over a period of time is central to our thoughts about, among other things, life after death, punishment, personal relationships, and our special concern about our own future. This module will consider a range of different views on this topic from both Eastern and Western Philosophy.

BA Philosophy

Philosophy of Mind What is the nature of the mind, and how does it relate to the body? These questions have concerned philosophers for centuries, and in this module students will consider some of the answers that have been proposed.

MArts Study of Philosophy BA Philosophy and Religious Studies BA Philosophy and Theology BA Philosophy and Chinese Studies BA Philosophy and English

Phenomenology and Existentialism Phenomenology and Existentialism each attempted to uncover the concrete elements of human experience lost in the abstractness of the philosophical tradition, namely the richness and complexity of the phenomena in our experience, and the manner in which human existence is shaped by the challenge of making decisions in the face of an unpredictable future.

BA Ethical and Political Studies

This degree programme explores a broad range of ethical and political considerations including climate change, the ethics of war, the nature and ethics of political protest, poverty, animal rights, medical ethics, the nature of social relationships and the nature and degree of our obligations to others.

The BA Ethical and Political Studies programme is distinct from degrees in political science in that it does not address the workings or structures of political institutions, but rather explores the ideas and theories that underpin them. It draws upon expertise in ethics, political philosophy, anthropology, history, psychology and religious studies to provide a critical understanding of the ethical and political issues that face the modern world.

20 | www.uwtsd.ac.uk

We also offer Combined Honours courses which combine Theology or Religion with Philosophy and Ethics.

These subjects are fundamentally concerned with questions central to human existence: the nature of truth, change, goodness and justice. Religious Studies provides an essential point of reference for many ideas and thinkers, indeed many of the ‘greatest’ thinkers have themselves speculated on the truth claims of religion.

As a student of one of these degree programmes, you will explore the nature of faith and the role it has in society, the nature of existence and knowledge, as well as exploring the ethical dilemmas that society faces.

Typical modules Freedom, Equality and Justice: An Introduction to Political Philosophy This module will introduce students to the key ideas and concepts within political philosophy. It will explore questions such as: Is the existence of the state justified? Are there such things as natural rights? What obligations do citizens have towards their state? Is democracy the only legitimate form of government? Are there areas of life in which the state should not interfere? Should the institution of private property be retained? Is the market economy morally justifiable? How should goods be distributed in society?

Courses BA Ethical and Political Studies BA Theology, Philosophy and Ethics BA Religion, Philosophy and Ethics

Protest, Activism and Resistance This module explores the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of various political protest movements. Amongst other topics it explores whether it can ever be morally justifiable to break the law or use violence as a tool of political resistance. It will also explore the relationship between protest and activism and the mainstream systems of government, such as democracy.

Ethics and Global Justice This module explores the ethical considerations that are involved in taking life, for example suicide, euthanasia, abortion and war.

It also explores whether we have a moral duty to help people living in poverty and our moral obligations to animals and the environment.

Explore Human Behaviours

Although definitions of “psychology” can be diverse and sometime conflicting there is little doubt that it has relevance to every aspect of our lives. It is a dynamic and developing science, observing and testing hypotheses surrounding people’s thoughts, feelings, actions, beliefs, attitudes and behaviour in all social and cultural environments. A perfect ‘hub’ for the Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and the Arts!

As a student of Philosophy with Psychology in Lampeter, you will have the opportunity to study core psychological perspectives and theories, to develop your analytical and science research skills and explore how psychological theories can be applied to our everyday lives.

22 | www.uwtsd.ac.uk

Previous study of psychology or behavioural studies is not necessary for this degree pathway. If, however, you have studied psychology at Level 3 (A Level) then some of the material will be familiar, and this will be a great asset when contributing to group discussions. During the course, we will present topical psychological research to build upon any previous knowledge. All modules will consist of at least one practical experiment, carried out either as a group or individually.

Typical modules Introduction to Biological and Cognitive Psychology An introduction to major theories and applications of human cognition and the biological basis of behaviour. Topics include visual perception, memory, brain structure and function, language and emotions. Students are also introduced to psychological research skills including experimental design, ethical considerations and the collection, analysis and presentation of statistical data.

Courses BA Philosophy with Applied Psychology BA Philosophy, Religion and Applied Psychology

To Love, Honour and Obey?

An Introduction to Behavioural Studies Using a social psychological approach, the module looks at how our behaviour changes due to the presence and/or influence of others. Topics include conformity, obedience, pro-social behaviour and de-individuation. Students build on their introduction to research by designing and running their own group experiment.

Culture and Psychology This module will look at how culture informs behaviour. We explore the psychological definition of ‘culture’, ask students to challenge the ‘universality’ of western psychological theories and to look at cross-cultural differences in interpersonal and group behaviour. During the course, students will be encouraged to use any personal experiences of intercultural transition, and to build on and/or prepare for any international field trips planned for their major discipline.

“With incredible student to staff ratios and a range of specialist lecturers, who work with you to develop your personal interests, you will become the Philosopher that you are meant to be.”

Thinking of becoming a Teacher?

We offer a combination of degree programmes which incorporate Philosophy and Education Studies. By doing so, you can study a subject that interests you whilst also gaining invaluable experience and knowledge of the education sector and the teaching profession.

The Education part of the degrees comprises two modules of study per year over all three years of your degree. Typical modules within the education part

24 | www.uwtsd.ac.uk

of the degree will cover a range of themes from the historical development of education, learning cultures and approaches to learning, the philosophy of learning and education, and the legal frameworks within which education operates today. In addition, during the second year of study you will undertake a 20-credit teaching observation in a local school.

In your third year you will undertake a 40-credit dissertation that combines elements of your Education Studies with Philosophy.

Want to work in Heritage?

For those interested in pursuing a career in the heritage sector, we offer degree programmes which combine Philosophy with Heritage Studies or Heritage Management.

Heritage Management is concentrated in two modules per year.

This part of the programmes is specifically designed to enhance a student’s knowledge of Heritage in its broadest sense and to provide an appropriate set of skills and understandings applicable to a broad range of employments in the Heritage sector or cultural industries more generally.

Running through all the modules is clear emphasis on enhancing the employability potential of our students, notably through a compulsory work placement, and for those that wish, the opportunity to do a practice based, work related Dissertation.

Students also acquire an understanding of heritage marketing and various data management and analysis methods.

In Heritage Studies, students can take a range of modules that explore different aspects of Heritage and Heritage-related agencies, institutions and subjects. The programme does this in an innovative way that combines study of general and broadly-based Heritage issues with more specialist or particular aspects of the field.
