Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: PQ55

Here's what Cardiff University says about its Cymraeg a Newyddiaduraeth course.

Drwy gyfuno’r Gymraeg a Newyddiaduraeth, byddwch yn ennill cyfoeth o wybodaeth a sgiliau trosglwyddadwy, gan agor drysau i amrywiaeth o lwybrau gyrfa.

Gall astudio gradd gydanrhydedd eich symbylu a rhoi boddhad, wrth ichi sylwi ar nodweddion tebyg a gwahaniaethau rhwng y ddau bwnc.

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 i chi o ran iaith a llenyddiaeth, yn ogystal â chyfle i arbenigo mewn meysydd sydd o ddiddordeb personol neu o ran eich gyrfa.

Nod cyffredinol Newyddiaduraeth yw arfogi myfyrwyr i ddod yn ddinasyddion gwybodus mewn cymdeithas sy’n orlawn o gyfryngau. Mae’n dechrau gyda'r rhagdybiaeth fod angen i ni ddeall y rôl ganolog a chwaraeir gan y cyfryngau a’r diwydiannau diwylliannol er mwyn deall cymdeithas fodern.

Byddwch yn gallu cymryd rhai modiwlau ymarferol, ond mae pwyslais y radd yn academaidd a dadansoddol.

SYLWER: Nid yw’r cwrs hwn ar gael i fyfyrwyr Cymraeg ail iaith. Bydd ymgeiswyr i'r radd hon fel arfer wedi astudio rhai cymwysterau ôl-16 drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Os nad ydych wedi gwneud hynny ond eich bod yn teimlo bod eich Cymraeg o safon cyfatebol, anfonwch e-bost at [email protected].

Nodweddion nodedig

  • y cyfle i ddilyn cwrs gradd sy’n datblygu sgiliau sy’n berthnasol i’r byd academaidd ac i’r gweithle

  • modiwl craidd sy’n canolbwyntio ar sgiliau cyflogadwyedd, ac sy’n cynnig cyfnod o brofiad gwaith

  • ystod o fodiwlau craidd a dewisol sy’n astudio’r iaith, ei llenyddiaeth a’i diwylliant, yn ogystal â chyfle i arbenigo mewn meysydd sydd o ddiddordeb personol neu o ran eich gyrfa

  • modiwlau cyfryngau mor amrywiol â Rheoli Cyfryngau Cyfathrebu, Gwleidyddiaeth Rhyfel a Phropaganda ac Achosion Cyfathrebu

  • y pwyslais ar sgiliau ymchwil ymarferol, a fydd o fudd ichi drwy gydol eich gyrfa

  • y pwyslais ar ddysgu annibynnol mewn awyrgylch cefnogol

  • y profiad o gael eich addysgu gan ddarlithwyr sy’n weithredol ym myd ymchwil, ac sy’n seilio eu haddysgu ar ymchwil

  • y profiad o gael eich addysgu gan staff a fydd yn eich adnabod fel unigolyn

  • mynediad at gynlluniau Erasmus ac Astudio Dramor

  • wythnosau gyrfaoedd a gweithdai wedi eu trefnu’n rheolaidd i sicrhau eich bod chi’n barod ar gyfer 'byd gwaith'

Cardiff University open days

Are you thinking of applying to this university?

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.

Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
