Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)

If accepted into our programme, you will be required as soon as possible to obtain a clearance check via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Please note there is a fee associated with the service and you should ensure also that you opt for the ‘update’ service to maintain the validity of your clearance check.

As part of its commitment to widening access, UWTSD pays particular attention to recruiting student-teachers from under-represented groups and has a proactive marketing strategy for engagement with Community First areas, groups with disabilities, ethnic minority communities and Welsh medium learners.

Many schools and college departments, both locally and nationally, have former student-teachers as a part of their staff with many going on to forge successful teaching careers at strategic, professional and management levels at home and abroad.

Our PGCE graduates usually remain in close touch with us as they make their careers in the teaching profession and they often become Subject/Class Mentors on the programme.  This creates a very strong, sustainable professional network of teachers which is a rich source of continuing professional development.

The programme design provides the opportunity for assessments to be closely related to classroom practice and draw upon evidence gained from personal experience. This approach further establishes the links between intellectual and experiential learning.

For example, students will be required to design, conduct, evaluate and share a close-to-practice research project which will directly impact on learners. Whenever possible, assignments will be submitted and marked electronically to facilitate timely and effective feedback.

Assessment components include written assignments, a portfolio, an individual video and a research project.

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.

Your Professional Teaching Experience (PTE) will take place over 24 weeks in school, with two substantive teaching placements. These will be in an APLP network consisting of a Lead school and a number of partnership schools where experienced mentors and university tutors will support you in achieving QTS.

Each teaching experience is in different settings to give you a range of experiences and the opportunity to engage with a variety of approaches to teaching and learning.

During your school-based experience, you will be supported to integrate theory and practice so that you can develop the reflective skills needed to become a highly successful teacher.

You will have a graduated introduction to teaching to give you time to develop your confidence, knowledge of the curriculum and skills of classroom organisation. This will include working with small groups of learners before moving to being responsible for the whole class.

Seminars hosted in school and delivered by mentors and university staff will give you the opportunity to meet with other students in your network and engage in collaborative discussion. Such shared reflection is a powerful tool in moving your practice forward.

Our partnership of networks offers urban and rural placements as well as placements available in either English or Welsh-medium schools.

Working with teacher educators who are experts in their field of education, you will become skilled in understanding how children and young people learn and how they can become ambitious and capable learners.  

Our teaching philosophy is one of engaging our student teachers in lively debate and active learning that develops your critical thinking and engagement. This will prepare you to be a research-informed and research-active teacher, ready to make a difference to young people’s lives.

Cyllido Cwestiynau Cyffredin:

Mae meini prawf cymhwysedd y cyllid yn datgan bod yn rhaid imi fod ym mlwyddyn 3 i 6 o ymarfer ar ddechrau’r cwrs. Beth mae hyn yn ei olygu?

Mae hyn yn golygu bod yn rhaid ichi fod ym mlynyddoedd 3 i 6 o’ch gwaith addysgu ar ôl cwblhau eich cyfnod sefydlu fel ANG pan fydd y cwrs i fod i ddechrau (nid pan fyddwch yn cyflwyno cais)

Oes rhaid imi fod yn gofrestredig gyda Chyngor y Gweithlu Addysg?

Oes, er mwyn bod yn gymwys am gyllid mae’n rhaid ichi fod yn gofrestredig gyda Chyngor y Gweithlu Addysg yn y categori athro ysgol. Mae’n rhaid cynnal hyn am hyd y cwrs.

Pam mae’r cyllid ar gael i athrawon sydd ym mlynyddoedd 3 i 6 o ymarfer yn unig?

Llywodraeth Cymru sy’n cynnig y cyllid ar gyfer y rhaglen hon, fel rhan o’r Pecyn i Athrawon Gyrfa Gynnar.

Ar ôl cwblhau fy nghyfnod sefydlu fel ANG, treuliais gyfnod yn gweithio dramor / cymerais saib yn fy ngyrfa. Ydy hyn yn cyfrif?

Ni chaiff amser a dreuliwyd yn gweithio fel athro y tu allan i’r DU, neu amser a gymerwyd fel saib yn eich gyrfa, ei gyfrif fel blynyddoedd yn ymarfer.

Oes angen imi feddu ar gontract athro am isafswm cyfnod, e.e. tymor neu flwyddyn academaidd? Beth fydd yn digwydd os bydd fy nghontract yn dod i ben yn ystod y rhaglen?

Ydych, ar yr amod bod cyfanswm eich contractau yn 0.4CALl neu’n uwch, byddwch chi’n gymwys i gyflwyno cais am gyllid

Mae gen i gyflogaeth fel athro mewn nifer o ysgolion ac mae cyfanswm fy nghontractau yn werth mwy na 0.4 CALl. Ydw i’n gymwys am gyllid?

Gallwch, ar yr amod bod cyfanswm eich contractau yn 0.4CALl neu’n uwch, byddwch chi’n gymwys i gyflwyno cais am gyllid.

 Rwy’n athro rhan-amser a/neu’n athro cyflenwi. Ga i gyflwyno cais am gyllid?

Cadarnheir cymhwysedd ar ddechrau’r rhaglen. Ar yr adeg honno, bydd yn rhaid i chi feddu ar gontract ar gyfer o leiaf un tymor.

Oes rhaid imi ymrwymo i weithio yng Nghymru ar ôl imi gwblhau’r MA mewn Addysg?

Wrth dderbyn y cyllid hwn, mae gofyn i athrawon barhau i weithio yng Nghymru, yn y system addysg a gynhelir am isafswm o 2 flynedd ar ôl cwblhau’r rhaglen.

Oes gofyniad o ran cyfnod preswylio cyn i’r cwrs ddechrau?

Er mwyn bod yn gymwys am gyllid, rhaid eich bod wedi bod yn preswylio yng Nghymru am 3 blynedd cyn dechrau’r cwrs ac mae’n rhaid ichi aros yng Nghymru am hyd y rhaglen.

Hoffwn i hunan ariannu; faint yw’r ffioedd?

£6,500

Rydw i wedi astudio ar lefel Meistr o’r blaen. Ydw i’n gymwys am gyllid ar gyfer y rhaglen hon?

Os ydych chi wedi astudio pwnc penodol ar raglen Meistr o’r blaen, rydych yn dal i fod yn gymwys i gyflwyno cais am gyllid (ar yr amod eich bod yn bodloni’r holl feini prawf eraill). Sylwer na fyddwch yn gymwys i gyflwyno cais am gyllid ar gyfer yr MA Cenedlaethol os ydych wedi astudio MEd a ariannwyd o’r blaen.

Roedd fy nghais am gyllid yn aflwyddiannus. Beth yw fy opsiynau?

Os na fydd eich cais am gyllid yn llwyddiannus, gallai fod modd ichi gael lle ar y cwrs o hyd, fel myfyriwr sy’n hunan ariannu.

Roedd fy nghais am gyllid yn aflwyddiannus. Sut ga i apelio yn erbyn y penderfyniad?Dylai ymgeiswyr nad ydynt yn fodlon ar benderfyniad Panel Dyfarnu Cyllid yr MA Cenedlaethol mewn Addysg (Cymru) gysylltu â Chadeirydd y Panel yn y lle cyntaf.

Pwy sy’n penderfynu ar ddyrannu cyllid?

Wrth dderbyn eich cais, bydd y Tîm Derbyn Myfyrwyr yn y sefydliad o’ch dewis yn sicrhau eich bod yn bodloni’r meini prawf cymhwysedd. Yna bydd Panel Dyfarnu Cyllid yr MA Cenedlaethol mewn Addysg (Cymru) yn asesu pob cais cymwys er mwyn pennu’r canlyniad a dyfarnu cyllid i’r rhai sy’n llwyddiannus. Mae’r Panel yn cynnwys cynrychiolwyr o bob prifysgol sy’n bartner, ac mae’n atebol i’r Bwrdd Rheoli Cenedlaethol (sydd ag aelodau o Lywodraeth Cymru), er mwyn sicrhau atebolrwydd a goruchwyliaeth eglur. 

Sawl lle a ariennir sydd ar gael?

Mae 500 o leoedd a ariennir ar draws partneriaeth yr MA Cenedlaethol mewn Addysg (Cymru)

Ydw i’n gymwys am fenthyciad myfyriwr?

Os dyfernir cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru ichi ar gyfer yr MA Cenedlaethol mewn Addysg (Cymru), mae’n rhaid ichi beidio â chyflwyno cais am gymorth ariannol i ôl-raddedigion drwy’r Cwmni Benthyciadau Myfyrwyr (SLC) hefyd. Caiff myfyrwyr nad ydynt yn derbyn cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru gyflwyno cais i’r SLC.
