Gan adeiladu ar y sgiliau a ddatblygwyd yn ystod eich blwyddyn gyntaf, mae’r ail flwyddyn yn amser ar gyfer mwy o arbrofi a chydweithio:

Y prosiect mawr fydd uchafbwynt eich astudiaethau, gan eich galluogi i arddangos eich sgiliau a’ch gweledigaeth. Mae’r flwyddyn hon wedi’i chynllunio er mwyn eich paratoi ar gyfer pontio llwyddiannus i’r byd proffesiynol, gan ddod i ben gyda chorff sylweddol o waith.

    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 roi sylw i’ch 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. P’un a ydyn nhw 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 rhoi sylw i’ch potensial creadigol a’ch brwdfrydedd dros y rhaglen rydych yn gwneud cais amdani.

    Rydym yn deall bod llawer o ymgeiswyr yn parhau i fod ar ganol eu cymwysterau (e.e. Safon Uwch, BTEC, L3, Sylfaen) ac yn datblygu corff o waith, felly nid oes pwysau i bopeth fod wedi’i gwblhau nac yn gaboledig.

  • Mae’r asesu’n amrywio yn ôl y modwl a gall gynnwys portffolios, arddangosfeydd, aseiniadau ysgrifenedig, blogiau neu gyflwyniadau.

  • Mae gan ein myfyrwyr fynediad at ystod amrywiol o offer ac adnoddau, sydd yn y rhan fwyaf o achosion yn ddigonol i gwblhau eu rhaglen astudio. Rydym yn darparu’r deunyddiau sylfaenol sydd eu hangen ar fyfyrwyr i ddatblygu eu gwaith ymarferol o fewn ein cyfleusterau gweithdy a stiwdio helaeth.

    Fodd bynnag, mae’n debygol y bydd myfyrwyr celf a dylunio yn gorfod talu rhai costau ychwanegol i ymestyn eu harchwiliad o’u harfer personol. Er enghraifft, prynu eu deunyddiau a’u hoffer arbenigol eu hunain, ymuno â theithiau astudio dewisol, ac argraffu.

    Mae disgwyl i fyfyrwyr ddod â’u hoffer celf a dylunio personol eu hunain gyda nhw pan fyddant yn dechrau’r cwrs.  Gallwn roi cyngor ar yr offer cywir sydd ei angen ar gyfer eich rhaglen astudio a chyfeirio at gyflenwyr priodol os byddwch yn dymuno prynu eitemau hanfodol cyn, neu yn ystod, eich astudiaethau.

    Bydd pecyn celf a dylunio sylfaenol yn costio tua chan punt, ond mae’n bosibl y bydd gennych lawer o’r offer sydd ei angen yn barod: cysylltwch â ni yn gyntaf i wirio.  Er bod gennym stiwdios dylunio digidol pwrpasol helaeth (PC a MAC) i chi wneud eich gwaith cwrs, efallai y byddwch hefyd yn dymuno dod â’ch dyfeisiau digidol eich hunain gyda chi. Eto, cysylltwch â ni yn gyntaf cyn prynu unrhyw beth.

    Yn dibynnu ar y pellter a’r hyd, gall ymweliadau astudio dewisol amrywio o ran cost o oddeutu deg punt i ymweld ag orielau ac arddangosfeydd lleol i fwy na dau gant o bunnoedd am ymweliadau tramor – mae’r costau hyn am bethau fel cludiant, mynediad i leoliadau a llety, ac maen nhw fel arfer ar gyfraddau gostyngol i’n myfyrwyr.

  • Astudio drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg neu Ddwyieithog

    Mae’r Drindod Dewi Sant yn ymfalchïo yn y ffaith ei bod yn Brifysgol ddwyieithog ac mae modiwlau ar y cwrs hwn ar gael i’w hastudio drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg naill ai’n llawn neu’n rhannol. Ym mhob achos bydd myfyrwyr yn gallu cyflwyno asesiadau ysgrifenedig drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.

    Os byddwch yn dewis astudio’ch cwrs naill ai’n 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.

    Mae argaeledd modiwlau cyfrwng Cymraeg yn cael ei adolygu’n rheolaidd a gall amrywio bob blwyddyn yn dibynnu ar staffio, diddordebau ymchwil, amserlenni, galw myfyrwyr, ac isafswm niferoedd cofrestru, felly ni ellir gwarantu modiwlau penodol bob amser, cysylltwch â ni i drafod mwy.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Astudio Dramor

    Gall myfyrwyr fanteisio ar y cyfle i astudio am un semester yn UDA a Chanada.

    For courses of more than six months’ duration you will require a Student visa.  

    International students who require a Student visa should apply for our full-time courses as these qualify for Student visa sponsorship.   

    For full information read our visa application and guides.    

    Please note students receiving US Federal Aid are only able to apply for in-person, on-campus programmes which will have no elements of online study.

  • 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. This also 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. 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.  

    We understand that many applicants are still mid-qualification (e.g. A-Level, BTEC, L3, Foundation) and are developing an emerging body of work, so there’s no pressure for everything to be polished or complete. 

  • Assessment varies according to the module and ranges from portfolios, exhibitions, written assignments and blogs to presentations.

  • Our students have access to a diverse range of equipment and resources, which in most cases are 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 to extend their investigation of their personal practice. For example, purchasing their own specialised materials and equipment, joining in optional study trips, and printing.

    Students are expected to bring their own personal art and design equipment with them when they commence the course.  We can advise on the correct equipment needed for your programme of studies and signpost appropriate suppliers if you wish to purchase essential items before or during your studies.  

    A basic art and design kit will cost approximately one hundred pounds, but you may already have much of the equipment required: check with us first.  Also, although we have extensive dedicated digital design studios (PC and MAC) for you to use for your coursework, you may wish to bring your own digital devices. Again, please check with us first before making a purchase.

    Depending on distance and duration, optional study visits can vary in cost from approximately ten pounds to visit local galleries and exhibitions to over two hundred pounds for overseas visits — these costs cover things like transport, entry to venues and accommodation, and are normally at reduced rates for our students.

  • Study through the medium of Welsh or Bilingually

    UWTSD prides itself on being a bilingual University and 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.

    The availability of Welsh medium modules is reviewed regularly and may vary each year depending on staffing, research interests, timetabling, student demand, and minimum enrolment numbers, so specific modules cannot always be guaranteed, get in touch to discuss more.

    Welsh Opportunities

    As a leading Welsh university, we are proud to offer dedicated support services and halls of residence for Welsh-speaking students, encouraging the sense of community and the feeling of a home away from home, 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 Scholarships and Bursaries section.

Further information

  • 96-112 UCAS tariff points 

    The UCAS tariff score is applicable to you if you have recently studied a qualification that has a UCAS tariff equivalence. UCAS provides a tariff calculator for you to work out what your qualification is worth within the UCAS tariff.

    Admissions Advice and Support

    We may make you a lower offer based on a range of factors, such as your background, experiences and individual circumstances. This is known as ‘Contextual Admissions’.

    If your qualification doesn’t have a UCAS tariff equivalence, you don’t have traditional entry qualifications or you have accredited prior learning, please contact our enquiries team as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge and previous work experience.

    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:

    • ‘with Foundation Year’. This route is designed to give you extra support as it provides you with an additional year (full-time) of supported study.   

    Once you successfully complete your Foundation Year studies, you will automatically advance onto the main degree.   

    • Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE). This is a one-year course and is equivalent to the first year of the three year, full-time bachelor’s degree.  

    Once you have successfully completed your CertHE studies, you will be eligible to progress for the remaining two years of the bachelor’s degree.  

    These are ideal routes if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this degree.   

    English language requirements  

    If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, our usual requirement is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 6.0, with not less than 5.5 in each of the sub-tests. We also accept other English language tests.  

    Visit the International Applications section of our website to find out more about our English Language Requirements and pre-sessional English Language Courses. 

    Visa and funding requirements  

    If you are not from the UK and you do not already have residency here, you may need to apply for a visa.  For courses of more than six months’ duration you will require a Student visa.  International students who require a Student visa should apply for our full-time courses as these qualify for Student visa sponsorship.   

    For full information read our visa application and guides.    

    Please note students receiving US Federal Aid are only able to apply for in-person, on-campus programmes which will have no elements of online study.  

    All applicants will be required to provide a satisfactorily enhanced disclosure document from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

  • All our programmes are assessed by 100% coursework. There are no exams.

    We have found that using a varied range of assessment methods increases employability skills. Employers seek graduates who are problem-solvers and who have a range of transferable employability skills.

    Assessment provides opportunities to develop skills such as the ability to work in a team, have effective oral and written communication, while using a range of information-sharing methods, including briefing papers, academic posters, group debates and professional discussions. There are also opportunities for practical work experiences, supporting employability, professional development and careers.

    Bilingual and Welsh-medium study is at the heart of our provision; you can choose to enrol on the Welsh-medium or English-medium programme and present your assignments in either language.

  • Study through the medium of Welsh or Bilingually

    UWTSD prides itself on being a bilingual University and 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.

    The availability of Welsh medium modules is reviewed regularly and may vary each year depending on staffing, research interests, timetabling, student demand, and minimum enrolment numbers, so specific modules cannot always be guaranteed, get in touch to discuss more.

    Welsh Opportunities

    As a leading Welsh university, we are proud to offer dedicated support services and halls of residence for Welsh-speaking students, encouraging the sense of community and the feeling of a home away from home, 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.

  • Students are required to apply for, and obtain, a UWTSD Enhanced Disclosure Barring Check (DBS). The fee for this is dependent on the DBS and is approximately Â£66.

    Students are required to gain the equivalent of 700 hours’ practical experience in places such as early years settings. This will incur travelling costs and refreshment costs. (Only applies to Early Years Practitioner Status programmes.)

    Students may incur additional costs as they are required to attend some module lectures with appropriate clothing for study outdoors.

    Mandatory study experiences and enhancement activities are organised for students studying Early Years. The cost of travelling and the study on offer is covered by the Early Years discipline. However, students would need to supply their own refreshments for some visits.

    Additionally, Early Years organises optional opportunities for students to gain additional qualifications during the latter part of their programme, for example, Health and SafetySafeguarding. These incur costs for the students; the cost is determined by the provider.

    The School of Early Years also offers students optional opportunities to partake in visits beyond the campus, for example, Cardiff, London, Sweden and Canada. The costs of these optional visits are incurred by the students.

  • 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.

  • Graduates go on to careers in a variety of fields including:

    • Additional learning needs support
    • Afterschool Leader
    • Childminder
    • Children’s charity roles (eg Barnardo’s)
    • Community Support Officer
    • Family Facilitator

    • Play Workers
    • Room Leaders

    Further Study

    Some of our graduates progress to other further studies. Some students have progressed on to our own MA programmes, including our MA Early Literacy and MA Early Years Education and Care.

    Postgraduate programmes such as these offer opportunities for students to up-skill, and deepen their understanding of young children and their families. Such studies have enabled postgraduate students to progress in their existing field of work and for others to move to new careers.

    Route into teaching

    As a UWTSD Early Years student, you will be guaranteed an interview for the PGCE Primary programme, subject to meeting entry qualification requirements. When applying for the PGCE Primary programme we, in conjunction with Initial Teacher Education, will support you through a mock application and interview process.

    Postgraduate study and alternative routes

    Graduates will also be able to progress on to a number of postgraduate courses in their area of interest; a good degree classification in Early Years Education and Care meets the entry requirements for many postgraduate routes.

    Below are a few examples of routes previous graduates have taken.

    • Family and Communities
    • Nursing
    • Play Therapy
