Course summary

Drwy gyfuno’r Gymraeg a Cherddoriaeth, byddwch yn ennill cyfoeth o wybodaeth a sgiliau trosglwyddadwy, gan agor drysau i amrywiaeth o lwybrau gyrfa. Gall gradd gydanrhydedd eich symbylu a rhoi boddhad, wrth ichi sylwi ar nodweddion tebyg a gwahaniaethau rhwng y ddau bwnc. Yn aml ceir materion a safbwyntiau sy’n cysylltu’r pynciau, boed y rheiny’n ddadansoddiad beirniadol, yn gyd-destun hanesyddol, neu’n ymchwil diweddar.

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 lleoliad yr ysgol yn ychwanegu’n fawr at ei hapêl ar gyfer selogion cerddoriaeth, gan fod Caerdydd yn lleoliad gwych ar gyfer astudio cerddoriaeth yn y DU: mae gan y ddinas gwmni opera proffesiynol, Opera Cenedlaethol Cymru a Cherddorfa Symffoni broffesiynol, Cerddorfa Genedlaethol Gymreig y BBC. Mae’r Ysgol Cerddoriaeth yn mwynhau perthynas gynhyrchiol gyda'r ddau sefydliad sy'n caniatáu, er enghraifft, i fyfyrwyr fynychu ymarferion gwisg a phrynu tocynnau rhad ar gyfer cyngherddau.
