Agwedd arbennig ar y cwrs hwn yw’r cyfle i fynychu gweithdai arbenigol a fydd yn eich arfogi â’r sgiliau pwrpasol i greu gwaith gwreiddiol eich hunain, boed hynny’n yn sgript ar gyfer y teledu neu’r llwyfan, yn gynhyrchiad llwyfan, yn ffilm fer, neu’n rhaglen radio.

Mae’r dysgu drwy gyfrwng gweithdai, darlithoedd, seminarau a thiwtorialau. Mae'r asesiad yn gyfuniad o waith cwrs (e.e.  gwaith ymarferol / creadigol, cyflwyniadau llafar, traethodau, a thasgau wythnosol) ac arholiadau, gyda rhai modiwlau wedi’u hasesu’n llwyr ar sail gwaith cwrs. Bydd eich modiwlau bob blwyddyn yn gyfwerth ag 120 credyd. 
 
Mae’r flwyddyn gyntaf yn gyfle i adeiladu ar eich profiadau ac i agor drysau newydd, e.e. trafod yr iaith a’i chelfyddyd mewn cyd-destunau sy’n ymwneud â’i hanes a’i chyflwr heddiw, dysgu sgiliau beirniadol newydd, ymateb yn wreiddiol i weithiau celfyddydol a meithrin sgiliau ymarferol ym maes theatr a’r cyfryngau.

Yn eich ail a'ch trydedd flwyddyn, cewch ddewis helaeth o fodiwlau damcaniaethol, megis ar y theatr Gymraeg o gyfnod Saunders Lewis hyd at Aled Jones Williams ac ar ddramâu teledu Meic Povey, yn ogystal â dewis eang o fodiwlau ymarferol megis sgriptio, dyfeisio cynhyrchiad llwyfan a chynhyrchu ffilm fer, i enwi ond rhai.

Yn y drydedd flwyddyn cewch lunio traethawd hir ac ymchwilio i bwnc diddorol o’ch dewis. Yn y gorffennol, mae nifer wedi dewis ymchwilio i feysydd megis gweithiau amrywiol ddramodwyr Cymraeg, hanes cwmnïau amatur Cymru ac addasiadau llwyfan a sgrin o weithiau llenyddol Cymraeg. Mae’r opsiynau’n ddiderfyn!

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.

Os nad oes gennych mo'r cymwysterau gofynnol ar gyfer cwrs lefel gradd hwn, neu os ydych am fynd yn ôl i addysg yn dilyn cyfnod i ffwrdd, yna gall Rhaglen Blwyddyn Sylfaen fod y dewis iawn i chi. Gwnewch gais am Cymraeg i ddechreuwyr (gyda Blwyddyn Sylfaen) Q565.

Media studies

What are graduates doing after six months?

Only a small number of students study courses within this catch-all subject area, so there isn't a lot of information available on what graduates do when they finish - bear that in mind when you look at any stats. Marketing and PR were the most likely jobs for graduates from these courses, but it's sensible to go on open days and talk to tutors about what you might expect from the course, and what previous graduates did.
