The School of Philosophy and Religion at Bangor University offers the opportunity to study some of the most important and challenging philosophical ideas that have shaped Western culture, and to consider how they interrelate with Western religious thought. The School has developed out of a longstanding tradition in these subject areas within the University since the 19th century, and you will find here a friendly and informal atmosphere that will help you to cultivate the skills of debate and independent thinking. On the Welsh History part of this course, you will gain an understanding of the development of Wales over the centuries, of the changing nature of society and settlement, and of the historical context of contemporary Wales.
