Congratulations on being given an offer to study with us here at Bangor University.

My name is Dr Peredur Webb-Davies and I lecture in Linguistics and in our department we all study and research Linguistics the English Language or Bilingualism, and we're part of a larger school where everybody studies and researches the arts, the humanities and culture and language.

As a student with us. you will be studying, at least in your first year, things about how language works, language variation, language origins, the nitty gritty of language, things like the sounds, the structure, and the words of language.

Bangor is a wonderful place to study. It's in a friendly, tightly knit rural community, and it's incredibly bilingual, with the Welsh language and culture being really a primary in the community, and we are also a very international community. So we look forward to meeting you again very soon.

Thank you. Goodbye.
