The sessions provided a good opportunity for prospective students to get an idea of the type of career they can follow with a degree in those subjects.  In the first session there are contributors who have graduated in Law or Criminology and are now working in those fields.  The second session includes contributors who have graduated in Law or Criminology but went on to pursue a career beyond those subjects.

This is a Welsh-language resource presenting standard editions of the poetry composed by Welsh poets between 1282 and the middle of the sixteenth century. This collection is aimed at anyone who wants to learn more about Medieval Welsh poetry – University students and researchers, and also anyone who wants to learn more about the history of our bardic tradition, or about the history of some particular area long ago. If you want to learn more about one poet in particular, one could start by reading the Preamble to his work, before turning to the poems themselves. There is plenty of help in paraphrases and notes to help with the interpretation.
