Plan would get rid of the only chemistry degree that can be partly taken in Welsh and put 18 jobs at risk
Bangor University in the UK is considering closing its chemistry department because of low student numbers and push to save cash.
The move would see it stop offering its chemistry BSc (Hons) degree – currently the only one that can be partly taken in Welsh – and cease research activities. The jobs of 18 staff members – 15 academic and three technical – are at risk.
