Gellir cynnal cyfarfodydd gyda thiwtoriaid personol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg hefyd.

I feel it is a very unique course that you are unlikely to find at another university. If you aspire to work and support those with special needs or vulnerable backgrounds, it's a great course that allows you in the second year to explore topic areas more in your internet areas.
