Course summary

Mae gan Gymru ddwy brif lenyddiaeth, mewn dwy iaith sy’n meddu ar hanes hir a chyfoethog. Dyma gwrs i’r rhai sydd eisiau astudio’r ddau draddodiad ochr yn ochr: yn Lloegr a Chymru o’r canol oesoedd hyd heddiw, a hefyd yng ngweddill Prydain a ledled y byd. Wrth ddarllen, ymchwilio ac ysgrifennu, byddwch yn magu sgiliau dadansoddol a beirniadol sy’n berthnasol i ystod eang o yrfaoedd.

Mae cwrs BA fel hwn yn rhoi ichi lawer mwy na thystysgrif: mae'n brofiad diwylliannol a rhyngddiwylliannol cyflawn a fydd yn eich galluogi i chwarae rhan broffesiynol yng nghyffro Cymru wirioneddol ddwyieithog. Cewch astudio llenyddiaethau a diwylliannau ochr yn ochr ag astudiaethau ieithyddol, ar gwrs academaidd drwyadl sy’n berthnasol i anghenion cymdeithasol ac ieithyddol Cymru. Mae ein graddedigion yn gweithio mewn meysydd fel y gwasanaeth sifil, cysylltiadau cyhoeddus, marchnata, llywodraeth leol, darlledu, cyhoeddi, addysgu, cyfieithu, y celfyddydau a threftadaeth.

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 neu English Language and English Literature (with Foundation Year) QQCF.

Wales has two major literatures, in two languages, with a long and rich history. This is a course for those who want to study the two traditions in parallel: in England and Wales from medieval times to the present, and also in the rest of Britain and around the world. As you read, research and write, you will develop analytical and critical skills relevant to a wide range of careers.

A BA course such as this gives you much more than a certificate: it is a complete cultural and intercultural experience that will enable you to play a professional role in the excitement of a truly bilingual Wales. You can study literatures and cultures alongside language studies, on a rigorous academic course relevant to the social and linguistic needs of Wales. Our graduates work in areas such as the civil service, public relations, marketing, local government, broadcasting, publishing, teaching, translation, the arts and heritage.

‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Welsh for Beginners Q565 or English Language and English Literature (with Foundation Year) QQCF..
