The Welsh Language Standards is a statutory duty which explains how the University is expected to provide specific services through the medium of Welsh, ensuring that the Welsh language is not treated less favourably than the English language.
The services provided include the education provided to students and the administrative provision offered to students, staff and the public. There are 182 Standards that Aberystwyth University must comply with and each Standard describes how specific tasks should be carried out in Welsh.
The aim of the Standards is to:
- Provide clarity to organisations regarding their duties to provide services in Welsh.
- Provide clarity to Welsh speakers regarding the services which they can expect to receive in Welsh.
- Ensure consistency in terms of services in Welsh and to improve their quality.
