Cwrs cyfrwng Cymraeg yw hwn. Am y cwrs cyfrwng Saesneg, gweler Childhood and Youth Studies and Sociology, X315.

Mae'r pynciau hyn yn eich galluogi i astudio materion sy'n effeithio ar fywydau plant yng nghyd-destun ehangach strwythurau cymdeithasol. Byddwch yn astudio amrywiaeth eang o bynciau sy'n berthnasol i blentyndod ac ieuenctid yn yr 21ain ganrif ac yn ymchwilio i fywyd cymdeithasol a'r ffordd y mae'n dylanwadu ar ein hymddygiad, ein credoau a'n hunaniaeth. Byddwch yn ymdrin â chysylltiadau beunyddiol bywyd bob dydd, sefydliadau cymdeithasol mawr, mudiadau cymdeithasol a phrosesau byd-eang i gael gwell dealltwriaeth ar effaith y byd cymdeithasol ar blant a phobl ifanc.

Mae Astudiaethau Plentyndod ac Ieuenctid a Chymdeithaseg yn cyd-fynd â’i gilydd yn naturiol. Maent yn cefnogi dull cyfun o ddeall datblygiad plant a phobl ifanc o safbwyntiau cymdeithasol, gan annog dealltwriaeth o'r elfennau hyn yn y meysydd sy'n effeithio fwyaf ar fywydau plant a phobl ifanc, megis eu haddysg, eu rhyngweithio â chyfoedion ac oedolion a'u lles. Mae'r cwrs hwn yn eich galluogi i astudio Cymdeithaseg fel rhan o radd gydanrhydedd (50% Cymdeithaseg, 50% Astudiaethau Plentyndod ac Ieuenctid).

Ymchwil i fywyd cymdeithasol a'r ffordd y mae'n siapio ymddygiad, credoau a hunaniaeth pobl yw cymdeithaseg. Mae'r maes yn cynnwys archwilio ymwneud beunyddiol pobl â'i gilydd, wyneb yn wyneb, sefydliadau cymdeithasol mawr, mudiadau cymdeithasol a phrosesau byd-eang. Trwy ddeall y byd cymdeithasol, rydym yn ennill gwell dealltwriaeth ohonom ein hunain a'n sefyllfaoedd cymdeithasol ein hunain. Yn y rhan Plentyndod ac Ieuenctid y cwrs, byddwch yn astudio pynciau arloesol, a arweinir gan staff addysg profiadol, i ddatblygu eich dealltwriaeth o hanes plentyndod, hawliau plant, natur plentyndod a swyddogaeth oedolion sy’n gweithio â phlant mewn cyd-destun cenedlaethol, Ewropeaidd a rhyngwladol. Byddwch yn gwneud gwaith astudio academaidd ym meysydd seicoleg, cymdeithaseg, polisi cymdeithasol, addysg, iechyd a lles yn ymwneud â bywydau plant.

Mae opsiynau 'Blwyddyn Profiad Rhyngwladol' a 'Blwyddyn ar Leoliad' ar gael ar gyfer y cwrs hwn. Bydd gennych y cyfle i ystyried yr opsiynau hyn yn llawn ar ôl cychwyn eich cwrs ym Mangor a gallwch wneud cais i drosglwyddo i un o’r opsiynau yma ar yr adeg priodol. Mae mwy o wybodaeth am yr opsiynau hyn ar ein gwefan, ac mae croeso i chi gysylltu â ni os oes gennych unrhyw ymholiad.

We have quite a lot of sociology graduates, although numbers fell last year. But graduates still do pretty well. Most sociology graduates go straight into work when they complete their degrees, and a lot of graduates go into jobs in social professions such as recruitment, education, community and youth work, and housing. An important option for a sociology graduate is social work - and we're short of people willing to take this challenging but rewarding career. Sociology is a flexible degree and you can find graduates from the subject in pretty much every reasonable job — obviously, you don't find many doctors or engineers, but you do find them in finance, the media, healthcare, marketing and even IT. Sociology graduates taking further study often branch out into other qualifications, like teaching, law, psychology, HR and even maths, so don’t think a sociology degree restricts you to just one set of options.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
