Byddwch yn ennill lefel uchel o sgiliau mewn Cymraeg ysgrifenedig a llafar, sgiliau allweddol mewn cydweithredu a meddwl yn feirniadol, a sgiliau cyflogadwyedd a chreadigol datblygedig sy'n berthnasol i'r Gymru fodern. Byddwn yn eich cefnogi i ymwneud yn feirniadol ac yn greadigol â phroblemau anodd mewn ffordd feddwl-agored a chydweithredol, gan gynnwys ar bynciau sensitif a dadleuol.

Ar ôl hyn, mae myfyrwyr iaith gyntaf ac ail iaith yn dod at ei gilydd am y rhan fwyaf o'r ail flwyddyn, a phob modiwl blwyddyn olaf. Mae opsiynau modiwl yn eich galluogi i archwilio pynciau megis ysgrifennu Cymraeg hanesyddol a chyfoes, polisi iaith, a chyfieithu proffesiynol.

Ym mlwyddyn olaf y rhaglen, gallwch arbenigo yn eich dewis faes astudio.
Mae llawer o'n modiwlau yn archwilio'n uniongyrchol wahanol ddefnyddiau iaith. Byddwch yn dod i werthfawrogiad dyfnach o oblygiadau meddwl athronyddol, gan roi cyswllt clir rhwng damcaniaethau a'u cymhwysiad i chi. Pwysleisir hyn ym mlwyddyn olaf y rhaglen, lle byddwch yn cymryd rhan mewn modiwl craidd i gymhwyso ymchwil athronyddol i ddatblygu polisïau neu strategaethau sydd â'r nod o ddatrys problem foesegol neu gymdeithasol yn y byd go iawn.

Byddwch hefyd yn ymgymryd â thraethawd hir, lle byddwch yn dylunio ac yn cynnal prosiect ymchwil ar bwnc o'ch dewis yn ymwneud â'r Gymraeg, ei diwylliant neu ei llenyddiaeth.
Byddwch yn graddio gydag ystod o sgiliau proffesiynol, gan gynnwys cydweithredu, cyfathrebu, a meddwl yn feirniadol. Byddwch yn ymwybodol o'r heriau moesegol, cymdeithasol ac ieithyddol sy'n wynebu cymdeithas a diwydiant cyfoes, a bydd gennych y syniadau a'r hyder sydd eu hangen i'w datrys. Mae’r gallu i ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg ar lefel broffesiynol yn hynod ddeniadol i gyflogwyr hefyd, gan olygu bod gennych gyfle unigryw i ddilyn gyrfa ddiddorol ac amrywiol lle gallwch ddylanwadu ar ddyfodol ieithyddol, diwylliannol, dinesig ac economaidd Cymru.

Top job areas of graduates
Although there aren't a lot of jobs around for professional philosophers, philosophy degrees are a relatively popular option, with more than 2,000 students graduating in a philosophy-related subject in 2015 - a little down on previous years, but still healthy. Nearly a quarter of philosophy graduates take a postgraduate qualification, and it's a relatively common subject at both Masters and doctorate level — so if you think academic life might be for you, think ahead about how you might fund further study. For those who go into work, philosophy grads tend to go into teaching, accountancy, consulting, journalism, PR, housing, marketing, human resources and the arts while a few go into the computer industry every year, where their logical training is highly rated.
