TEACHER:
Studying the natural sciences through the medium of Welsh is a really important thing for you as a scientist because, very often, natural sciences involve working on the management of the environment and natural resources – and so developing the ability to communicate with people who are involved in managing the natural environment is a really important thing to ensure that environmental policies are developed and supported by the general public, land managers and politicians.
Studying the natural sciences in Welsh means that you have better opportunities of employment because if you can demonstrate that you have experience and the ability to communicate science, which is often quite a technical and complicated subject, at a professional level, and that in two languages, then you’re potentially more desirable and you stand out.
The thing that I enjoy the most about teaching science in Welsh is the fact that quite often I’m teaching quite small groups of individuals and so it means that I can give my best attention and support to each and every individual. And so, if you choose to study science in Welsh, you’re potentially getting more support from your teachers and your peers.
