2. What did you study and for how long?
I studied Economics with Accounting and Finance for three years.

3. What kind of courses can you take there, and what sort of degree can you achieve?
They cover most subjects, but the key areas are Law, Languages and Social Sciences. There’s also a large Farming and Equine Studies department. They offer undergraduate degrees, and Masters and PhDs.

4. How much are the tuition fees?
Roughly £1100 per year, or £3900 to complete a Master's degree.

5. Is it hard or easy to find a part-time-job that you can do apart from studying?
It’s pretty easy, there’s plenty of bar work and shops to work in. Also, during the summer, there’s a lot of tourism based jobs.

6. Is there a kind of accommodation that you could recommend? Where did you live?
I lived in the student village for the first and third years. The village is better for studying as it’s away from the town and near the library. I lived in a flat for my second year. It’s a bit more expensive, but better for the social life as you are never far away from a pub!

7. What are the courses at Aberystwyth University like?
a) Do you have lectures and seminars?
Yes, although the number you have depends on what courses you take. The seminars are really called tutorials.

b) If so, which do you prefer and why?
I preferred the tutorials as you had to do a little research for the lesson, rather than listening to a lecture.

8. Are there any differences between the English University System and the Welsh?
No, because it’s all controlled by the same governing body.

9. Do you learn the original Welsh language at the uni you went to?
No, although I have picked up a few words.

10. Are there courses/lectures held in Welsh?
Yes. There’s even the Welsh Halls, where you can only stay if you speak fluent Welsh. The Prince of Wales lived there while he was at the University.

11. What do you think of the Welsh-English relationship? Is it true that there are prejudices on both sides? And if so, what do you think could be done about it?
If people decide to speak to you in Welsh, it’s best to respect that and simply reply in English rather than make a big thing over it. There’s not that much trouble with the Welsh-English relationship – only if Wales are playing England in rugby!
