The purpose of the Welsh Language Strategy Group is to initiate and implement a strategy for the use of Welsh and the development of Welsh medium education at Swansea University, including the work of Academi Hywel Teifi and the Swansea branch of the Coleg Cenedlaethol Cymraeg. The Group will also consider and approve, prior to submission, the University’s responses to proposals and policies released for public consultation by Welsh Government and bodies such as the Welsh Language Commissioner, HEFCW and the Coleg Cymraeg. Furthermore, it will seek to raise awareness of the relevance of Welsh to the University and to emphasise its importance. Its work will throughout be guided by the University’s Welsh Language Scheme.
