A doctoral student from Carmarthen will become the first person in Cardiff University’s 140-year history to complete a PhD in Chemistry entirely through the medium of Welsh when he graduates today.
Owain Beynon, a first-language Welsh speaker and former pupil of Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Myrddin in Carmarthenshire, said it was “a natural choice” to complete his PhD in Welsh.
Owain, who made a unique contribution to the field of catalytic chemistry when he defended his thesis as part of his viva earlier this year, believes it is important to show that “Welsh is a scientific language”.
