The Coleg’s main aim is to increase, develop and broaden the range of Welsh medium study opportunities at universities in Wales.

The Coleg’s Academic Plan is based on four key themes, namely innovative learning of the highest quality, sustainability, employability and society, and partnership with students. The academic plan forms the basis for all academic work undertaken by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol in partnership with the higher education sector in Wales.
