Bangor Welcomes Coleg Cymraeg Posts and Provision
Once again this year, the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol has funded more lecturers to teach in various fields at universities across Wales.
As a result, Welsh medium provision will be available at Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ in subjects such as Zoology, Psychology and Economics.
Dr Sara Wheeler from Wrexham, who has been appointed Social Policy Lecturer at Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ is eager to start teaching and researching:
‘’I’m determined to ensure that an equal opportunity exists between the Welsh and English medium provision. Resources will have to be created and translated and I would like to publish research articles through the medium of Welsh.’’
Marian Pye from Llangefni has been appointed to a Zoology lecturing post and she hopes to expand upon the strong provision that already exists within the department.
Awel Vaughan-Evans from Gellifor will teach Psychology, after completing her undergraduate and post graduate courses at the university.
Dr Edward Thomas Jones from Bodedern also studied for his degree at Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ and has been awarded a lectureship in Economics.
Dr Ioan Matthews, Chief Executive of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol said:
‘‘We were glad to be able to support these appointments and look forward to seeing more students studying subjects through Welsh as a result of the Coleg’s investment. I would like to wish them all well as they create resources and recruit perspective students over the years to come.’’
