Beth fyddwch chi'n ei ddysgu

Fel y dywed Caroline Gumble (Prif Swyddog Gweithredol y CIOB yn 2020) “Mae’r diwydiant adeiladu yn effeithio ar bawb, gan ddylanwadu ar gynhyrchiant a llesiant, creu’r cartrefi, ysbytai, ysgolion, gweithleoedd a seilwaith sy’n hanfodol ar gyfer ansawdd bywyd da” ac mae’n mynd ymlaen i ddweud bod adeiladu yn ddiwydiant hynod gymhleth ond hynod gyffrous ac arloesol.

Mae’r rhai sy’n gweithio ar safleoedd adeiladu yn cyfrif am 6% o allbwn economaidd y DU, ond os ychwanegwch chi hefyd y gwasanaethau megis syrfewyr meintiau, penseiri a pheirianwyr, yn ogystal â hurio planhigion a chyflenwyr adeiladu, mae’r allbwn bron yn ddwywaith cymaint â hynny.  Mae hon yn ganran fawr o allbwn economaidd y DU.  Mae’r diwydiant adeiladu yn darparu swyddi ar gyfer tua 2.3 miliwn o bobl, sef dros 7% o gyfanswm y DU. Mae swyddi adeiladu hefyd yn ennill 5% yn fwy na diwydiannau eraill ar gyfartaledd, a chaiff graddedigion yn y maes hwn gyfleoedd yn y DU a thramor mewn amrywiaeth o yrfaoedd gwerth chweil. 

Byddwch yn astudio hanfodion technoleg adeiladu, mecaneg strwythurol a mathemateg peirianneg. Bydd cyrsiau mewn technoleg ddigidol CAD, BIM, ac arolygu yn datblygu eich sgiliau technegol. Byddwch hefyd yn ymdrin â deunyddiau adeiladu, iechyd, diogelwch a lles, a sgiliau ar gyfer ymarfer proffesiynol i sicrhau sylfaen gyflawn.

  • Fel arfer, mae’r asesiadau a ddefnyddir yn y Rhaglenni hyn yn ffurfiannol neu yn grynodol. Dylunnir yr asesiad blaenorol er mwyn sicrhau bod myfyrwyr yn dod yn ymwybodol o’u cryfderau a’u gwendidau.

    Yn nodweddiadol, bydd y math asesiadau wedi’u llunio ar ffurf ymarferion ymarferol, lle mae ymagwedd fwy ymarferol yn dangos gallu’r myfyriwr i ymgymryd ag  amrywiaeth o weithgareddau. Yn draddodiadol, caiff asesiad ffurfiol o fewn amser penodol ei gynnal drwy ddefnyddio profion ac arholiadau sydd, fel arfer, yn ddwy awr o hyd. 

    Mae arholiadau yn ffordd draddodiadol o wireddu mai gwaith y myfyrwyr eu hunain yw’r gwaith a gyflwynir.  Er mwyn helpu dilysu gwaith cwrs y myfyriwr, y mae’n ofynnol mewn rhai modylau bod y myfyriwr a’r darlithydd yn trafod y testun a gaiff ei asesu ar sail unigol, gan adael y darlithydd  i fonitro cynnydd.

    Mae rhai modylau lle mae’r asesu’n seiliedig ar ymchwil yn gofyn bod myfyrwyr yn cyflwyno canlyniadau eu hymchwil i’r darlithydd a’u cymheiriaid ar lafar / yn weledol, a chaiff hyn ei ddilyn gan sesiwn cwestiwn ac ateb. 

    Mae’r math strategaethau asesu yn cyd-fynd â’r strategaethau dysgu ac addysgu a ddefnyddir gan y tîm, hynny yw, lle’r bwriad yw cynhyrchu gwaith sydd yn cael ei yrru’n bennaf gan y myfyriwr, gwaith unigol, adfyfyriol, a lle bo’n addas, yn alwedigaethol ei ffocws.

    Caiff adborth ei roi i fyfyrwyr yn gynnar yn ystod y cyfnod astudio, a bydd hyn yn parhau drwy gydol y sesiwn astudio gyfan, gan ganiatáu y caiff mwy o werth ei ychwanegu at ddysgu’r myfyriwr.

  • 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.

  • Assessments used within these programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

    Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities. Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. 

    Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress.

    Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session.

    Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated.

    Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.

  • 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.

    Yn nodweddiadol, bydd y math asesiadau wedi’u llunio ar ffurf ymarferion ymarferol, lle mae ymagwedd fwy ymarferol yn dangos gallu’r myfyriwr i ymgymryd ag  amrywiaeth o weithgareddau. Yn draddodiadol, caiff asesiad ffurfiol o fewn amser penodol ei gynnal drwy ddefnyddio profion ac arholiadau sydd, fel arfer, yn ddwy awr o hyd. 

    Mae arholiadau yn ffordd draddodiadol o wireddu mai gwaith y myfyrwyr eu hunain yw’r gwaith a gyflwynir.  Er mwyn helpu dilysu gwaith cwrs y myfyriwr, y mae’n ofynnol mewn rhai modylau bod y myfyriwr a’r darlithydd yn trafod y testun a gaiff ei asesu ar sail unigol, gan adael y darlithydd  i fonitro cynnydd.

    Mae rhai modylau lle mae’r asesu’n seiliedig ar ymchwil yn gofyn bod myfyrwyr yn cyflwyno canlyniadau eu hymchwil i’r darlithydd a’u cymheiriaid ar lafar / yn weledol, a chaiff hyn ei ddilyn gan sesiwn cwestiwn ac ateb. 

    Mae’r math strategaethau asesu yn cyd-fynd â’r strategaethau dysgu ac addysgu a ddefnyddir gan y tîm, hynny yw, lle’r bwriad yw cynhyrchu gwaith sydd yn cael ei yrru’n bennaf gan y myfyriwr, gwaith unigol, adfyfyriol, a lle bo’n addas, yn alwedigaethol ei ffocws.

    Caiff adborth ei roi i fyfyrwyr yn gynnar yn ystod y cyfnod astudio, a bydd hyn yn parhau drwy gydol y sesiwn astudio gyfan, gan ganiatáu y caiff mwy o werth ei ychwanegu at ddysgu’r myfyriwr.

  • Mae’n bosibl cwblhau’r rhaglen astudio hon heb unrhyw gostau ychwanegol.

    Efallai yr hoffai myfyrwyr brynu deunyddiau ar gyfer modylau, megis prif brosiect ond nid yw hyn yn ofynnol ac ni chaiff effaith ar y radd derfynol. 

  • Efallai eich bod yn gymwys i gael arian i helpu i gefnogi eich astudiaethau.  I ddysgu am ysgoloriaethau, bwrsarïau a chyfleoedd ariannu eraill sydd ar gael, ewch i’n hadran Bwrsarïau ac Ysgoloriaethau.

  • Gwnaiff y rhaglen hon fodloni gofynion y diwydiant ac wrth wneud hynny darparu profiad dysgu galwedigaethol cadarn sy’n gofyn llawer yn academaidd, sy’n gysylltiedig â chyrff diwydiannol a phroffesiynol, gofyniad sy’n bodloni anghenion myfyrwyr a chyflogwyr fel ei gilydd. Yn ychwanegol i hyn, mae’r tîm rhaglen wedi datblygu amcanion y rhaglen er mwyn cyfoethogi datblygiad cymhwysedd technegol a hyfforddiant ar lefel sy’n gallu bodloni gofynion cyfredol y diwydiant ar gyfer rheolaeth ganol.

  • Assessments used within these programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

    Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities. Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. 

    Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress.

    Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session.

    Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated.

    Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.

  • It is possible to complete this programme of study without any additional costs.

    Students may wish to purchase materials for modules, such as a major project but this is not a requirement and will have no bearing on the final grade.

  • Assessments used within these programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

    Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities. Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. 

    Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress.

    Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session.

    Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated.

    Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.

  • It is possible to complete this programme of study without any additional costs.

    Students may wish to purchase materials for modules, such as a major project but this is not a requirement and will have no bearing on the final grade. 

  • 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.

  • This programme will meet industry demands and in doing so provide a sound intellectually demanding vocational learning experience linked to industry and professional bodies, a requirement that satisfies the needs of both students and employers. Furthermore, the programme team has developed the aims of the course to enhance the development of technical competence and training at a level which is capable of meeting the industry’s current requirements for middle management.

    The Civil Engineering pathway is formulated to provide the graduate with a range of skills that will enable them to enter positions within both client and contracting organisations. The diverse nature of the pathway, focusing on both environmental matters and civil engineering matters, offers students a range of possible career opportunities within these fields.

    Cyfleoedd Cymraeg a Chymreig

    A ninnau’n brifysgol flaenllaw yng Nghymru, rydym yn falch o gynnig gwasanaethau cymorth a neuaddau preswyl arbennig i fyfyrwyr Cymraeg eu hiaith, gan annog ymdeimlad o gymuned a chartref oddi cartref, gan gynnwys ymuno â chlybiau a chymdeithasau i siaradwyr Cymraeg a dod yn aelod o’n cangen fywiog y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

    Cyfleoedd i Ddysgu Cymraeg

    Rydym hefyd yn darparu amrywiaeth o gyfleoedd i ddysgu a datblygu eich sgiliau Cymraeg.

  • Fel arfer, mae’r asesiadau a ddefnyddir yn y Rhaglenni hyn yn ffurfiannol neu yn grynodol. Dylunnir yr asesiad blaenorol er mwyn sicrhau bod myfyrwyr yn dod yn ymwybodol o’u cryfderau a’u gwendidau.

    Yn nodweddiadol, bydd y math asesiadau wedi’u llunio ar ffurf ymarferion ymarferol, lle mae ymagwedd fwy ymarferol yn dangos gallu’r myfyriwr i ymgymryd ag  amrywiaeth o weithgareddau. Yn draddodiadol, caiff asesiad ffurfiol o fewn amser penodol ei gynnal drwy ddefnyddio profion ac arholiadau sydd, fel arfer, yn ddwy awr o hyd. 

    Mae arholiadau yn ffordd draddodiadol o wireddu mai gwaith y myfyrwyr eu hunain yw’r gwaith a gyflwynir.  Er mwyn helpu dilysu gwaith cwrs y myfyriwr, y mae’n ofynnol mewn rhai modylau bod y myfyriwr a’r darlithydd yn trafod y testun a gaiff ei asesu ar sail unigol, gan adael y darlithydd  i fonitro cynnydd.

    Mae rhai modylau lle mae’r asesu’n seiliedig ar ymchwil yn gofyn bod myfyrwyr yn cyflwyno canlyniadau eu hymchwil i’r darlithydd a’u cymheiriaid ar lafar / yn weledol, a chaiff hyn ei ddilyn gan sesiwn cwestiwn ac ateb. 

    Mae’r math strategaethau asesu yn cyd-fynd â’r strategaethau dysgu ac addysgu a ddefnyddir gan y tîm, hynny yw, lle’r bwriad yw cynhyrchu gwaith sydd yn cael ei yrru’n bennaf gan y myfyriwr, gwaith unigol, adfyfyriol, a lle bo’n addas, yn alwedigaethol ei ffocws.

    Caiff adborth ei roi i fyfyrwyr yn gynnar yn ystod y cyfnod astudio, a bydd hyn yn parhau drwy gydol y sesiwn astudio gyfan, gan ganiatáu y caiff mwy o werth ei ychwanegu at ddysgu’r myfyriwr.

  • Mae’n bosibl cwblhau’r rhaglen astudio hon heb unrhyw gostau ychwanegol.

    Efallai yr hoffai myfyrwyr brynu deunyddiau ar gyfer modylau, megis prif brosiect ond nid yw hyn yn ofynnol ac ni chaiff effaith ar y radd derfynol. 

  • Efallai eich bod yn gymwys i gael arian i helpu i gefnogi eich astudiaethau.  I ddysgu am ysgoloriaethau, bwrsarïau a chyfleoedd ariannu eraill sydd ar gael, ewch i’n hadran Bwrsarïau ac Ysgoloriaethau.

  • Assessments used within these programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

    Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities. Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. 

    Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress.

    Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session.

    Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated.

    Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.

  • It is possible to complete this programme of study without any additional costs.

    Students may wish to purchase materials for modules, such as a major project but this is not a requirement and will have no bearing on the final grade. 

  • 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.

  • This programme will meet industry demands and in doing so provide a sound intellectually demanding vocational learning experience linked to industry and professional bodies, a requirement that satisfies the needs of both students and employers. Furthermore, the programme team has developed the aims of the course to enhance the development of technical competence and training at a level which is capable of meeting the industry’s current requirements for middle management.

    The Civil Engineering pathway is formulated to provide the graduate with a range of skills that will enable them to enter positions within both client and contracting organisations. The diverse nature of the pathway, focusing on both environmental matters and civil engineering matters, offers students a range of possible career opportunities within these fields.

    Module outcomes address concerns such as sustainability, energy efficiency and facilities management along with the more familiar outcomes such as management theories, literacy, problem-solving and client needs. Supplementing these are a range of higher-level skills which have been designed to integrate with module outcomes.

  • Your natural academic progression from our HND Civil Engineering (part-time) programme would be to our BSc Civil Engineering (part-time) or BSc Civil Engineering.
