“ For an education and experience that is as unique as you are

“

Cont Roderic Bowen Archive

Welcome to the Lampeter Campus

A personalised, bespoke educational experience

Unlike other universities, you won’t be in a lecture hall with hundreds of other people. Class sizes are kept small to allow you the opportunity to ask questions, debate topics and have your voice heard.

You will have plenty of opportunity to have one-to-one tutorial support with academics from your chosen subject.

You will be part of an educational community where lecturers know you as an individual and can tailor the learning experience to meet your individual needs.

Learn in an immersive environment where you engage on one module at a time. This allows you to focus in depth on one topic, rather than trying to balance your time between different subjects.

Pg. 4 & 5 Welcome

Our student activity days also give you the opportunity to try a range of activities including kayaking, bush craft, coasteering, pony-trekking, between bush craft, coasterring and stand-up paddle boarding.

Anthropology Anthropology explores the fundamentals of what it means to be human. It takes the whole world as its point of interest and brings one face to face with the eyeopening variety of human behaviours both in the present and from the past.

Anthropology students at UWTSD have the opportunity to observe and engage with communities and cultures first-hand.

For instance, students are able to undertake Voluntary Work Abroad and be active participants in staff’s research projects, both in the UK and abroad.

tents Philosophy Philosophy is different from other academic disciplines in that it teaches you not what to think, but how to think.

Philosophy explores the big questions – Who are we? What is our place in the world? How should we live? What is reality? Philosophy approaches such questions through argument, but also through vision and imagination.

Studying Philosophy encourages the development of core skills highly prized by employers: they think clearly, logically, and creatively; communicate articulately and accurately; analyse critically and rigorously.

Philosophy graduates are all-rounders: thoughtful, insightful, and versatile.

All UK schools and colleges (and a small number of establishments overseas) are registered with UCAS to manage their students’ applications. You will need to obtain a ‘buzzword’ from your tutor or careers adviser, which you will need when you register with UCAS.

You may pay for your application either by credit or debit card online, or by paying your school or other registered centre who will then pay UCAS.

UCAS will begin to process applications for the new academic year from early September.

Other UK applicants, who are not at school or college, apply online independently and are responsible for paying the correct application fee, for requesting the academic reference to be attached and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS. Your referee should be a teacher or professional who knows you well enough to write about you and your suitability for higher education. You will need to make your payment online using a credit or debit card.

The card need not be in your own name, but you will require the consent of the cardholder.

What you get out of your time at UWTSD, Lampeter matters, and that’s not just with your academic studies. Your health & wellbeing matter.

Lampeter campus is an environment that offers professional support for all students.

The accepted wisdom for jobs and careers in the C21st is that we will all have at least 4 different careers throughout our working lives, and most of these careers and jobs have not even been thought of yet. This flexible, ever changing and mobile view of work attunes perfectly to the type of skill set and capabilities that a Humanities degree will equip you with: skills of thinking and processing

information; skills of evaluating and discerning arguments, and skills of communicating ideas and viewpoints. So a degree in the Humanities will not pigeon hole you into a career path – which itself might be obsolete in a few years anyway – but gives you the capacity and flexibility to go wherever you would like travel. www.uwtsd.ac.uk/careers

Anthropology Anthropology explores the fundamentals of what it means to be human. It takes the whole world as its point of interest and brings one face to face with the eyeopening variety of human behaviours both in the present and from the past.

Anthropology students at UWTSD have the opportunity to observe and engage with communities and cultures first-hand.

For instance, students are able to undertake Voluntary Work Abroad and be active participants in staff’s research projects, both in the UK and abroad.

Archaeology Archaeology at UWTSD Lampeter is amongst the highest profile, research intensive and highly regarded programmes of study for the University.

The surrounding landscape, coastline and environment is of a uniquely historic and archaeological character which help develop the unique curriculum.

of regional examples and developments, and yet is global in its points of reference.

You will learn to understand the past, and engage with theoretical and ethical issues. In class, you will explore issues such as heritage, representation, land use, technology, environmental change, death, conflict, beliefs and the evolution of the human body, mind and ideas with a view to broadening and widening knowledge of how humanity has arrived at the position it is in now.

Ancient Civilisations UWTSD sets itself above the competition by offering a wider range of ancient civilizations to study. Not only can you study the traditional Mediterranean civilizations (Persian, Greek, Roman and Egyptian), but we also offer the opportunity to study ancient American, Celtic and Chinese civilizations.

We take pride in our versatility and created this course by listening to students and what they wanted. While other courses concentrate on what has been found or is yet to be found, the BA in Ancient Civilsations takes you beyond what has already been found about ancient cultures into their world and into their mind in order to find out what civilisation meant to them.

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).

Chinese Studies Building on a solid linguistic foundation in modern and classical Chinese, the Lampeter course focuses on the study of China’s history, philosophy, religions, film and literature, exploring how China has historically evolved to become the country it is today. Our modules examine China’s transformations by looking at internal developments as well as China’s manifold interactions with the world. We are one of the very few Chinese Studies programmes in the UK with a focus on China’s classical

culture. You will gain access to the richness of this culture by studying its vast textual, archaeological and artistic heritage. Single Honours students will spend one year in China, at Beijing Union University or one of our other Chinese partner institutions.

This option is also open to Joint Honours students. All students have a further chance to apply for short-term language courses in China and scholarships administered by the Centre for Chinese Studies and the Confucius Institute.

Classical Civilisation If you are interested in ancient Greece and Rome - their history, literature, mythology and societies - then these are the degrees for you. Starting in the first year with ancient mythology and its influence in both the ancient and the modern world, the Classical Civilisation degrees allow you to study a wide range of topics covering not only fascinating historical figures – Pericles the Athenian, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Nero – but also the great literary output of these worlds – the

Homeric epics, the tragedies, Cicero – as well as basic aspects of everyday life, such as the role of women, religion, warfare and the economy. In workshops and seminars you will be taught by specialists and active researchers. The influence of our research on our teaching offers our students the opportunity to learn from the best in the subject and follow the latest scholarly trends and discoveries, whilst our independent study modules allow you to explore your passion in its entirety.

BA English has been designed to be both academically and creatively challenging and rewarding, offering a diverse range of teaching approaches, including immersive workshops, small-scale seminars and tutorials. Thanks to the small class sizes, students are able to actively contribute to their studies through discussion and collaborative learning.

Heritage Heritage is a concern for the past, imagined and constructed by the present, but set within a wider appreciation for the future. The programme offers an innovative approach to study that combines an exploration of general and broadly based Heritage issues, with more specialist or particular aspects of the field. You will be equipped with an

understanding and appreciation of the wider field of Heritage. You will spend time working with heritage organisations and in the special collections which help equip you with an appropriate set of skills and understandings applicable to a broad range of employments in the Heritage sector or cultural industries.

History The History programme at UWTSD allows students to explore many different political, social, economic, military and cultural aspects of history. It gives you the opportunity to study global history from antiquity to the present day. With its broad geographical and chronological scope, students can cover anything from Spartan military techniques, via the Norman Conquest of 1066, to Obama care.

Throughout your degree, you will examine how the past is represented in anything

26

from manuscripts and plays, to film and music. Overall, the History programme gives students appreciation of the techniques and approaches of historians and other scholars, plus a multifaceted, holistic understanding of world history. You may wish, however, to focus on selecting modules of a narrower timeframe to suit your own developing interests in either the broad BA History or one of our joint honours degrees.

Philosophy Philosophy is different from other academic disciplines in that it teaches you not what to think, but how to think.

Philosophy explores the big questions – Who are we? What is our place in the world? How should we live? What is reality? Philosophy approaches such questions through argument, but also through vision and imagination.

Studying Philosophy encourages the development of core skills highly prized by employers: they think clearly, logically, and creatively; communicate articulately and accurately; analyse critically and rigorously.

Philosophy graduates are all-rounders: thoughtful, insightful, and versatile.

Politics & Economics Politics & economics provides you with a fundamental understanding of the way societies and the world functions, through politics and economics. By doing so, you will gain a broad range of skills that will prepare you for numerous career paths, principally within politics.

These degree options focus on current political structures as well as the future of politics and economics, with an emphasis on environmental issues. UK, European, and global political structures will be examined alongside their surrounding social and philosophical frameworks.

Do more, see further, achieve The accepted wisdom for jobs and careers in the 21st century is that we will all have at least 4 different careers throughout our working lives, and most of these careers and jobs have not even been thought of yet. This flexible, ever changing and mobile view of work attunes perfectly to the type of skill set and capabilities that a Humanities degree will equip you with: skills of thinking and processing

information; skills of evaluating and discerning arguments, and skills of communicating ideas and viewpoints. So a degree in the Humanities will not pigeon hole you into a career path – which itself might be obsolete in a few years anyway – but gives you the capacity and flexibility to go wherever you would like. www.uwtsd.ac.uk/careers
