Course summary

Ar ein rhaglen Cymraeg ac Athroniaeth (BA), byddwch yn datblygu dealltwriaeth drylwyr o'r iaith Gymraeg, ei llenyddiaeth a'i diwylliant, ac yn ymgysylltu â chwestiynau athronyddol allweddol ar draws ystod eang o bynciau a thraddodiadau. 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.

Rydym yn croesawu’r rhai sydd wedi astudio’r Gymraeg naill ai fel iaith gyntaf neu ail iaith. Os yw'r Gymraeg yn ail iaith i chi, byddwch yn cael modiwlau penodol yn y flwyddyn gyntaf a'r ail flwyddyn i ymarfer a gwella eich sgiliau cyfathrebu ac iaith. 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.

Mewn Athroniaeth, byddwch yn datblygu sylfaen gadarn mewn athroniaeth foesol, byddwch hefyd yn astudio epistemoleg, athroniaeth meddwl, ac athroniaeth wleidyddol, ac yn cael cyfle i astudio meysydd fel estheteg, athroniaeth ffeministaidd, a ffenomenoleg. 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.

Yn ystod y radd, cewch gyfle i ymgymryd â lleoliad gwaith mewn gweithle lle defnyddir y Gymraeg yn ddyddiol, i fagu eich hyder a'ch sgiliau proffesiynol. 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.
