Interview 

All applicants to Swansea College of Art are required to have an interview. 

We really enjoy the interview process, getting to know you and your work, and we feel that this is the best way to find the right students for our programmes. We understand at master’s level that there may be different reasons for studying MA. You may wish to keep your current momentum of study, a change in direction of study or career, to deepen your knowledge, an opportunity to fast track your career or simply to just give you more time to develop ideas and refine your skills. Discussing these options ensures that our applicants have all the information they need to make the right choice for them too. 

If you have any queries before your interview, please contact us at artanddesign@uwtsd.ac.uk.

Portfolio 

We ask that you bring a portfolio of some past and current work. Your portfolio is a collection of your most exciting and representative work, showcasing your creative abilities, technical skills, and artistic vision. It tells the story of your creative journey, highlighting your unique style, interests, and ideas as they develop. We interpret the term ‘portfolio’ broadly and are happy for you to do the same - this can include finished pieces, work in progress, sketchbooks, drawings, and projects that are still unfolding, as these give us insight into your thinking and creative process. This portfolio might also include professional practice or experience and attributes you have that could be applied to your master’s study. Whether in physical or digital format, your portfolio is an opportunity to showcase your creative journey in a way that feels authentic to you, with each piece highlighting your creative potential and enthusiasm for the programme you are applying for. 

Assessment is carried out through coursework, both written practical and presented.

There is a 4,000-word theoretical essay with poster presentation in Semester 1, and a 5,000-word report in Semester 3, which accompanies the practical work.

There are no exams on this course. Students are formatively assessed throughout a module. Summative assessment takes place at the end of a module, which includes presentation of the work to the assessment team.

A variety of teaching and learning methods are used throughout the course, which include, among others: 

Tutorials 
These tutorials are held on a regular basis.

In Semester 1, full-time/Year 1, part-time, each student sees and discusses his/her work with a member of staff as part of each module. In Semesters 2 and 3, full-time/Years 2 and 3, part-time, students work more independently and sign up for tutorials within, or across, their discipline, in addition to those scheduled when their work requires support.

As a team, we ensure that every student in the final semester/year of the course is seen by at least one member of the academic staff each week. 

Group Tutorials/Seminars
These are held on a regular basis, across all stages of the course, with one member of staff. They provide an excellent opportunity for students to share and exchange ideas with their peers in a structured manner, in addition to valuable input from staff.

Informal & Formal presentations
Some of the modules have a presentation of ideas as part of the module outcome and are an essential way of sharing ideas across the course. Presenting work informally to peers is also part of the seminar teaching and a way of getting valuable feedback on the progress of the work.

Exhibiting work
At the end of the course there is an opportunity, if appropriate, to show outcomes from the course in a curated exhibition. Students are also supported to create their own exhibitions during the middle part of the course, if they wish to do so.

Our students have access to a diverse range of equipment and resources which, in most cases, is sufficient to complete their programme of study. We provide the basic materials necessary for students to develop their practical work within our extensive workshop and studio facilities.

However, it is likely that art and design students will incur some additional costs in the extension of their personal practice. Examples include purchasing their own specialised materials and equipment, joining optional study trips, and paying for printing. 

Depending on distance and duration, optional study visits can vary in cost from approximately £10 to visit local galleries and exhibitions, to £200 plus for overseas or longer UK study visits. These costs cover such things as transport and entry to venues and accommodation. There are normally reduced rates for our students.

Some modules in this course are available to study through the medium of Welsh either fully or partially. In all cases students will be able to submit written assessments through the medium of Welsh.  

If you choose to study your course either fully or partially through the medium of Welsh, you may be eligible to apply for scholarships and bursaries to support you with your studies. 

We are continuously reviewing our Welsh medium provision, the precise availability of modules will vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand. Where your course offers modules available through the medium of Welsh this may vary from year to year, and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means the availability of specific Welsh medium modules cannot be guaranteed.  

Extracurricular Welsh Opportunities 

There are many ways to engage with Welsh culture and life at UWTSD, including joining clubs and societies for Welsh speakers and becoming a member of our vibrant Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol branch.  

Opportunities to Learn Welsh 

We also provide a variety of opportunities to learn and develop your Welsh language skills.   

You may be eligible for funding to help support your study. To find out about scholarships, bursaries and other funding opportunities that are available, please visit our Bursaries and Scholarships section.

Efallai y bydd rhaid i fyfyrwyr dalu costau ychwanegol gan fod rhaid iddynt fynychu rhai darlithoedd modwl gyda dillad addas ar gyfer astudio yn yr awyr agored.

Mae’r Blynyddoedd Cynnar yn trefnu profiadau astudio gorfodol a gweithgareddau cyfoethogi i fyfyrwyr. Bydd y rhageln yn talu am y costau teithio ac astudio a gyfyd yn sgil hyn. Fodd bynnag, ar gyfer rhai ymweliadau, bydd rhaid i fyfyrwyr gyflenwi eu lluniaeth eu hunain.

Mae gan y rhaglen gyfradd cyflogadwyedd uchel ar gyfer graddedigion, sydd mewn gwaith o fewn chwe mis i gwblhau’r radd. Mae nifer sylweddol o raddedigion hefyd yn mynd ymlaen i astudiaethau ôl-raddedig yn y brifysgol hon a rhai eraill.

Mae’r Gyfadran yn cynnig gradd MSc Rheolaeth Ariannol i’r rheini sy’n dymuno astudio ymhellach.  Mae’r astudio hyblyg ar y rhaglen yn rhoi’r gallu i fyfyrwyr lywio’u hastudiaethau yn ôl eu huchelgais o ran gyrfa ac amgylchiadau personol.  Mae integreiddio myfyrwyr o’r DU, yr UE a myfyrwyr rhyngwladol ynghyd â chymdeithas cyn-fyfyrwyr gryf yn caniatáu rhwydweithio a sefydlu cyfeillgarwch hirdymor.

Alternative entry routes  

If this course interests you, but you don’t have the entry requirements to join our bachelor’s degree you could consider:

Os yw eich cwrs yn cynnig modylau trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg gall y math o fodwl amrywio o flwyddyn i flwyddyn ac fe fydd yn amodol ar gyrraedd isafswm nifer myfyrwyr. Golyga hyn na ellir gwarantu argaeledd modylau cyfrwng Cymraeg penodol.  

Cyfleoedd Cymraeg Allgyrsiol

We understand at master’s level that there may be different reasons for studying MA.

Discussing these options ensures that our applicants have all the information they need to make the right choice for them too. 

If you have any queries before your interview, please contact us at artanddesign@uwtsd.ac.uk.

Portfolio 

We ask that you bring a portfolio of some past and current work. Your portfolio is a collection of your most exciting and representative work, showcasing your creative abilities, technical skills, and artistic vision. It tells the story of your creative journey, highlighting your unique style, interests, and ideas as they develop. We interpret the term ‘portfolio’ broadly and are happy for you to do the same - this can include finished pieces, work in progress, sketchbooks, drawings, and projects that are still unfolding, as these give us insight into your thinking and creative process. This portfolio might also include professional practice or experience and attributes you have that could be applied to your master’s study. Whether in physical or digital format, your portfolio is an opportunity to showcase your creative journey in a way that feels authentic to you, with each piece highlighting your creative potential and enthusiasm for the programme you are applying for. 

Bydd asesu’n digwydd trwy waith cwrs, sy’n cynnwys cyflwyniadau yn ogystal â gwaith ymarferol ysgrifenedig.

Yn Semester 1 bydd traethawd damcaniaethol 4,000 o eiriau gyda chyflwyniad poster, ac yn Semester 3 bydd adroddiad 5,000 o eiriau sy’n cyd-fynd â’r gwaith ymarferol.

Nid oes arholiadau ar y cwrs hwn. Bydd myfyrwyr yn cael eu hasesu’n ffurfiannol drwy gydol pob modiwl. Bydd asesiadau crynodol ar ddiwedd pob modiwl, sy’n cynnwys cyflwyno’r gwaith i’r tîm asesu.
 

Defnyddir amrywiaeth o ddulliau addysgu a dysgu drwy gydol y cwrs, gan gynnwys, ymhlith eraill:

Tiwtorialau 
Mae’r tiwtorialau hyn yn cael eu cynnal yn rheolaidd.

Yn Semester 1, llawn-amser/Blwyddyn 1, rhan-amser, mae pob myfyriwr yn cwrdd ag aelod o staff er mwyn trafod eu gwaith fel rhan o bob modiwl. Yn Semester 2 a 3, llawn- amser/Blynyddoedd 2 a 3, rhan-amser, mae myfyrwyr yn gweithio’n fwy annibynnol ac yn cofrestru ar gyfer tiwtorialau o fewn, neu ar draws, eu disgyblaeth, ynghyd â’r rhai a drefnir pan fyddan nhw angen cymorth gyda’u gwaith.

Fel tîm, rydym yn sicrhau bod pob myfyriwr sydd yn eu semester/blwyddyn olaf ar y cwrs yn cwrdd ag o leiaf un aelod o’r staff academaidd bob wythnos. 

Seminarau/Tiwtorialau Grŵp
Mae’r rhain yn cael eu cynnal yn rheolaidd, yn ystod pob cam o’r cwrs, gydag un aelod o staff. Maen nhw’n gyfle gwych i fyfyrwyr rannu a chyfnewid syniadau gyda’u cyfoedion mewn ffordd strwythuredig ac i gael mewnbwn gwerthfawr gan staff.

Cyflwyniadau Ffurfiol ac Anffurfiol
Mae gan rai o’r modiwlau gyflwyniad syniadau yn rhan o ganlyniad y modiwl, ac maen nhw’n ffordd hanfodol o rannu syniadau ar draws y cwrs. Mae cyflwyno gwaith i gyfoedion yn anffurfiol hefyd yn rhan o addysgu’r seminar ac yn ffordd o gael adborth gwerthfawr ar gynnydd y gwaith.

Arddangos gwaith
Ar ddiwedd y cwrs bydd cyfle, os yw’n briodol, i arddangos canlyniadau’r cwrs mewn arddangosfa wedi’i guradu. Bydd myfyrwyr hefyd yn cael cefnogaeth i gynnal eu harddangosfeydd eu hunain yn rhan ganol y cwrs, os ydyn nhw’n awyddus i wneud hynny.

Gall ein myfyrwyr fanteisio ar amrywiaeth o offer ac adnoddau a fydd, fel arfer, yn ddigon i’w caniatáu i gwblhau eu rhaglen astudio. Rydym yn darparu’r holl ddeunyddiau sylfaenol y bydd myfyrwyr eu hangen i ddatblygu eu gwaith ymarferol yn ein gweithdai a’n cyfleusterau stiwdio helaeth.

Fodd bynnag, mae’n debygol y bydd myfyrwyr celf a dylunio yn wynebu rhai costau ychwanegol wrth ehangu eu harfer personol. Er enghraifft, wrth brynu eu deunyddiau a’u hoffer arbenigol eu hunain, ymuno â theithiau astudio dewisol, a thalu am argraffu. 

Yn dibynnu ar bellter a hyd, gall cost yr ymweliad astudio dewisol amrywio o tua £10 i ymweld ag orielau ac arddangosfeydd lleol, i £200 neu fwy ar gyfer ymweliadau astudio tramor neu deithiau hirach yn y DU. Mae’r costau hyn yn cynnwys pethau fel trafnidiaeth, mynediad i leoliadau a llety. Fel
arfer mae cyfraddau is ar gyfer ein myfyrwyr.

Mae rhai modylau ar y cwrs hwn ar gael i’w hastudio trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg yn llawn neu’n rhannol. Ym mhob achos bydd myfyrwyr yn gallu cyflwyno asesiadau ysgrifenedig trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.  

Os byddwch chi’n dewis astudio eich cwrs yn llawn neu’n rhannol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg, efallai y byddwch yn gymwys i wneud cais am ysgoloriaethau a bwrsariaethau i’ch cefnogi gyda’ch astudiaethau. 

Rydym yn adolygu ein darpariaeth cyfrwng Cymraeg yn gyson a bydd union  argaeledd modylau yn amodol ar argaeledd a diddordebau ymchwil staff, pynciau astudio newydd, amserlennu a’r galw gan fyfyrwyr. Os yw eich cwrs yn cynnig modylau trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg gall y math o fodwl amrywio o flwyddyn i flwyddyn ac fe fydd yn amodol ar gyrraedd isafswm nifer myfyrwyr. Golyga hyn na ellir gwarantu argaeledd modylau cyfrwng Cymraeg penodol.  

Cyfleoedd Cymraeg Allgyrsiol 

Yn ogystal, mae nifer o ffyrdd i ymgysylltu â’r diwylliant a bywyd Cymreig yn PCYDDS, gan gynnwys ymuno â chlybiau a chymdeithasau ar gyfer siaradwyr Cymraeg ac ymuno â Changen fywiog y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.  

Cyfleoedd i Ddysgu Cymraeg 

Rydym hefyd yn darparu amrywiaeth o gyfleoedd i ddysgu ac i ddatblygu eich sgiliau Cymraeg.

Assessment is carried out through coursework, both written practical and presented.

There is a 4,000-word theoretical essay with poster presentation in Semester 1, and a 5,000-word report in Semester 3, which accompanies the practical work.

There are no exams on this course. Students are formatively assessed throughout a module. Summative assessment takes place at the end of a module, which includes presentation of the work to the assessment team.

A variety of teaching and learning methods are used throughout the course, which include, among others: 

Tutorials 
These tutorials are held on a regular basis.

In Semester 1, full-time/Year 1, part-time, each student sees and discusses his/her work with a member of staff as part of each module. In Semesters 2 and 3, full-time/Years 2 and 3, part-time, students work more independently and sign up for tutorials within, or across, their discipline, in addition to those scheduled when their work requires support.

As a team, we ensure that every student in the final semester/year of the course is seen by at least one member of the academic staff each week. 

Group Tutorials/Seminars
These are held on a regular basis, across all stages of the course, with one member of staff. They provide an excellent opportunity for students to share and exchange ideas with their peers in a structured manner, in addition to valuable input from staff.

Informal & Formal presentations
Some of the modules have a presentation of ideas as part of the module outcome and are an essential way of sharing ideas across the course. Presenting work informally to peers is also part of the seminar teaching and a way of getting valuable feedback on the progress of the work.

Exhibiting work
At the end of the course there is an opportunity, if appropriate, to show outcomes from the course in a curated exhibition. Students are also supported to create their own exhibitions during the middle part of the course, if they wish to do so.

Our students have access to a diverse range of equipment and resources which, in most cases, is sufficient to complete their programme of study. We provide the basic materials necessary for students to develop their practical work within our extensive workshop and studio facilities.

However, it is likely that art and design students will incur some additional costs in the extension of their personal practice. Examples include purchasing their own specialised materials and equipment, joining optional study trips, and paying for printing. 

Depending on distance and duration, optional study visits can vary in cost from approximately £10 to visit local galleries and exhibitions, to £200 plus for overseas or longer UK study visits. These costs cover such things as transport and entry to venues and accommodation. There are normally reduced rates for our students.

Some modules in this course are available to study through the medium of Welsh either fully or partially. In all cases students will be able to submit written assessments through the medium of Welsh.  

If you choose to study your course either fully or partially through the medium of Welsh, you may be eligible to apply for scholarships and bursaries to support you with your studies. 

We are continuously reviewing our Welsh medium provision, the precise availability of modules will vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand. Where your course offers modules available through the medium of Welsh this may vary from year to year, and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved.

Portffolio 

Gofynnwn i chi ddod â phortffolio o beth gwaith o’r gorffennol ac yn gyfredol. Eich portffolio yw casgliad o’ch gwaith mwyaf cyffrous a chynrychiadol, gan arddangos eich galluoedd creadigol, sgiliau technegol, a gweledigaeth artistig. Mae’n adrodd stori eich taith greadigol, gan amlygu eich arddull, diddordebau, a syniadau unigryw wrth iddyn nhw ddatblygu. Rydym yn dehongli’r term ‘portffolio’ yn eang ac yn hapus i chi wneud yr un peth. Gall hyn gynnwys darnau gorffenedig, gwaith ar ei hanner, llyfrau braslunio, lluniadau, a phrosiectau sy’n parhau i ddatblygu, am fod y rhain yn rhoi cipolwg i ni ar eich proses feddwl a chreadigol. Gall y portffolio hwn hefyd gynnwys arfer neu brofiad proffesiynol a phriodoleddau sydd gennych y gellid eu defnyddio wrth astudio ar lefel meistr. P’un a yw mewn fformat ffisegol neu ddigidol, mae’ch portffolio’n gyfle i arddangos eich taith greadigol mewn ffordd sy’n teimlo’n ddilys i chi, gyda phob darn yn amlygu eich potensial creadigol a’ch brwdfrydedd dros y rhaglen rydych yn gwneud cais amdani.

Bydd asesu’n digwydd trwy waith cwrs, sy’n cynnwys cyflwyniadau yn ogystal â gwaith ymarferol ysgrifenedig.

Yn Semester 1 bydd traethawd damcaniaethol 4,000 o eiriau gyda chyflwyniad poster, ac yn Semester 3 bydd adroddiad 5,000 o eiriau sy’n cyd-fynd â’r gwaith ymarferol.

Nid oes arholiadau ar y cwrs hwn. Bydd myfyrwyr yn cael eu hasesu’n ffurfiannol drwy gydol pob modiwl. Bydd asesiadau crynodol ar ddiwedd pob modiwl, sy’n cynnwys cyflwyniad o’r gwaith i’r tîm asesu.

Defnyddir amrywiaeth o ddulliau addysgu a dysgu drwy gydol y cwrs, gan gynnwys, ymhlith eraill: 

Tiwtorialau 
Mae’r tiwtorialau hyn yn cael eu cynnal yn rheolaidd.

Yn Semester 1, llawnamser/Blwyddyn 1, rhan-amser, mae pob myfyriwr yn cwrdd ag aelod o staff er mwyn trafod eu gwaith fel rhan o bob modiwl. Yn Semester 2 a 3, llawnamser/Blynyddoedd 2 a 3, rhan-amser, mae myfyrwyr yn gweithio’n fwy annibynnol ac yn cofrestru ar gyfer tiwtorialau o fewn, neu ar draws, eu disgyblaeth, ynghyd â’r rhai a drefnir pan fyddan nhw angen cymorth gyda’u gwaith.

Fel tîm, rydym yn sicrhau bod pob myfyriwr sydd yn eu semester/blwyddyn olaf ar y cwrs yn cwrdd ag o leiaf un aelod o’r staff academaidd bob wythnos. 

Seminarau/Tiwtorialau Grŵp
Mae’r rhain yn cael eu cynnal yn rheolaidd, yn ystod pob cam o’r cwrs, gydag un aelod o staff. Maen nhw’n gyfle gwych i fyfyrwyr rannu a chyfnewid syniadau gyda’u cyfoedion mewn ffordd strwythuredig ac i gael mewnbwn gwerthfawr gan staff.

Cyflwyniadau Ffurfiol ac Anffurfiol
Mae gan rai o’r modiwlau gyflwyniad syniadau yn rhan o ganlyniad y modiwl, ac maen nhw’n ffordd hanfodol o rannu syniadau ar draws y cwrs. Mae cyflwyno gwaith i gyfoedion yn anffurfiol hefyd yn rhan o addysgu seminar ac yn ffordd o gael adborth gwerthfawr ar gynnydd y gwaith.

Arddangos gwaith
Ar ddiwedd y cwrs bydd cyfle, os yw’n briodol, i arddangos canlyniadau’r cwrs mewn arddangosfa wedi’i guradu. Bydd myfyrwyr hefyd yn cael cefnogaeth i gynnal eu harddangosfeydd eu hunain yn rhan ganol y cwrs, os ydyn nhw’n awyddus i wneud hynny.

Gall ein myfyrwyr fanteisio ar amrywiaeth o offer ac adnoddau a fydd, fel arfer, yn ddigon i’w caniatáu i gwblhau eu rhaglen astudio. Rydym yn darparu’r holl ddeunyddiau sylfaenol y bydd myfyrwyr eu hangen i ddatblygu eu gwaith ymarferol yn ein gweithdy a’n cyfleusterau stiwdio helaeth.

Fodd bynnag, mae’n debygol y bydd myfyrwyr celf a dylunio yn wynebu rhai costau ychwanegol wrth ehangu eu harfer personol. Er enghraifft, wrth brynu eu deunyddiau a’u hoffer arbenigol eu hunain, ymuno â theithiau astudio dewisol, a thalu am argraffu. 

Yn dibynnu ar bellter a hyd, gall cost yr ymweliad astudio dewisol amrywio o tua £10 i ymweld ag orielau ac arddangosfeydd lleol, i £200 neu fwy ar gyfer ymweliadau astudio tramor neu deithiau hirach yn y DU. Mae’r costau hyn yn cynnwys pethau fel trafnidiaeth, mynediad i leoliadau a llety, ac fel arfer mae cyfraddau is ar gael i’n myfyrwyr.

Mae rhai modylau ar y cwrs hwn ar gael i’w hastudio trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg yn llawn neu’n rhannol. Ym mhob achos bydd myfyrwyr yn gallu cyflwyno asesiadau ysgrifenedig trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.  

Os byddwch chi’n dewis astudio eich cwrs yn llawn neu’n rhannol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg, efallai y byddwch yn gymwys i wneud cais am ysgoloriaethau a bwrsariaethau i’ch cefnogi gyda’ch astudiaethau. 

Rydym yn adolygu ein darpariaeth cyfrwng Cymraeg yn gyson a bydd union  argaeledd modylau yn amodol ar argaeledd a diddordebau ymchwil staff, pynciau astudio newydd, amserlennu a’r galw gan fyfyrwyr. Os yw eich cwrs yn cynnig modylau trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg gall y math o fodwl amrywio o flwyddyn i flwyddyn ac fe fydd yn amodol ar gyrraedd isafswm nifer myfyrwyr. Golyga hyn na ellir gwarantu argaeledd modylau cyfrwng Cymraeg penodol.  

Cyfleoedd Cymraeg Allgyrsiol 

Yn ogystal, mae nifer o ffyrdd i ymgysylltu â’r diwylliant a bywyd Cymreig yn PCYDDS, gan gynnwys ymuno â chlybiau a chymdeithasau ar gyfer siaradwyr Cymraeg ac ymuno â Changen fywiog y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.  

Cyfleoedd i Ddysgu Cymraeg 

Rydym hefyd yn darparu amrywiaeth o gyfleoedd i ddysgu ac i ddatblygu eich sgiliau Cymraeg.
