Education studies

Mae nifer o fyfyrwyr o’r farn bod astudio rhaglen gydanrhydedd yn brofiad gwerth chweil gan eu bod yn gallu gweld yr hyn sy'n debyg ac yn wahanol rhwng y ddau bwnc. Drwy gyfuno’r Gymraeg ac Addysg, byddwch yn ennill amrywiaeth o sgiliau trosglwyddadwy a gwybodaeth a fydd yn fuddiol ar gyfer eich dyfodol.

CYMRAEG

Mae cwrs y Gymraeg yn berthnasol i’r Gymru gyfoes ac yn cael ei ddysgu gan Ysgol sydd wedi’i chydnabod am ansawdd ac effaith ei hymchwil. Nod y cwrs yw cynhyrchu graddedigion sydd â dealltwriaeth drwyadl (yn academaidd ac yn ymarferol) o’r iaith Gymraeg, ei llenyddiaeth a’i diwylliant, lefel uchel o sgiliau ieithyddol ar lafar ac yn ysgrifenedig, a sgiliau cyflogadwyedd a chreadigol datblygedig sy’n berthnasol i’r Gymru fodern.

Mae’n cynnig modiwlau craidd a dewisol i roi sylfaen ichi o ran iaith a llenyddiaeth, yn ogystal â chyfle i arbenigo mewn meysydd sydd o ddiddordeb personol neu o ran eich gyrfa.

ADDYSG

Mae ein gwaith addysgu ar Addysg wedi ei seilio ar ein hymchwil ym myd addysg a’r datblygiadau diweddaraf o ran polisi ac ymarfer, gan gwmpasu agweddau ar ddiwylliant a hunaniaeth, plentyndod ac ieuenctid, rhywedd ac ethnigrwydd, a chyfiawnder cymdeithasol a chynhwysiad.

Mae modiwlau craidd wedi eu hanelu at ddatblygu dealltwriaeth ddofn o gyd-destunau cymdeithasol, hanesyddol, gwleidyddol, economaidd a datblygiadol addysg – yng Nghymru, y Deyrnas Unedig ac yn rhyngwladol.

Fel myfyriwr cydanrhydedd, fe welwch fod meysydd a safbwyntiau yn aml sy'n cysylltu pynciau, boed yn ddadansoddiad beirniadol, yn gyd-destunau hanesyddol neu'n ymchwil diweddar.

Mae’r ddwy ysgol sy’n gysylltiedig â chyflwyno’r radd hon yn cynnig cwrs heriol o fodiwlau, sydd wedi’i gefnogi gan awyrgylch cyfeillgar a chysylltiadau rhagorol rhwng y myfyrwyr a’r staff.

NODYN: Fel arfer, mae'r radd gydanrhydedd hon yn agored dim ond i ddarpar fyfyrwyr sydd wedi astudio’r Gymraeg fel iaith gyntaf ar gyfer Safon Uwch. Os nad ydych wedi gwneud hynny ond eich bod yn teimlo bod eich Cymraeg o safon cyfatebol, anfonwch e-bost at [email protected].

When you look at employment stats, bear in mind that a lot of students are already working in education when they take this type of course and are studying to help their career development. This means they already have jobs when they start their course, and a lot of graduates continue to study, whilst working, when they complete their courses. If your course is focused on nursery or early years education, a lot of these graduates go into nursery work or classroom or education assistant jobs; these jobs are not currently classed as 'graduate level' in the stats (although they may well be in the future as classifications catch up with changes in the way we work), and many graduates who enter these roles say that a degree was necessary.

What about your long term prospects?

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