  • There will be no mandatory additional costs to study beyond the payment of tuition. Students should be prepared to incur the basic costs associated with study such as transport and may wish to purchase coffees, snacks or other sundry items on campus.

    Many students also choose to invest in study support tools such as laptops over the course of their study, though this is not a programme requirement. Any activities related to study or student life which bear a cost beyond tuition will be optional, and the expense shall be clearly communicated to students at the time of registration.

  • 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

Led by a team with a wealth of experience, the programme brings together knowledge and practice.

The expertise of your instructors will support you as you explore the impact of social, political, and economic factors on crime policy and criminal justice policy, giving you the tools to understand how broader trends shape the challenges that modern policing faces today.

Throughout the course, you’ll cover a wide range of topics, including cybercrime, terrorism, and response policing. You will be encouraged to develop your knowledge of international developments in criminology and criminal justice, which will give you a global perspective on pressing issues and different policing models. This will allow you to gain skills relevant for roles in law enforcement, policy development, research, and beyond.

The flexible part-time and distance learning options allow you to balance studies alongside other commitments, making it possible to apply your learning directly to any current role or experience in the sector.

Byddwch yn dechrau defnyddio offer hanfodol fel systemau Dylunio drwy Gymorth Cyfrifiadur (CAD) a Chaffael Data. Mae’r flwyddyn sylfaen hon yn hanfodol ar gyfer adeiladu’r sgiliau sylfaenol sydd eu hangen ar gyfer astudiaethau uwch a phrofiad ymarferol mewn peirianneg chwaraeon moduro.

Gorfodol

Yn yr ail flwyddyn, cewch eich cyflwyno i egwyddorion craidd peirianneg fecanyddol a pheirianneg ddylunio. Byddwch yn dysgu sut i ddefnyddio offer Dylunio drwy gymorth Cyfrifiadur a dadansoddi data. Bydd y sylfaen hon yn eich paratoi ar gyfer pynciau uwch ac yn rhoi’r sgiliau sylfaenol sydd eu hangen arnoch ar gyfer profiad ymarferol yn y maes.

Gorfodol 

Mae’r drydedd flwyddyn yn canolbwyntio ar gerbydau rasio perfformiad uchel a’u gofynion reidio a thrin. Byddwch yn astudio dynameg cerbydau, perfformiad ac effeithlonrwydd trenau pŵer, ac aerodynameg. Defnyddir offer efelychu uwch fel Dynameg Hylif Cyfrifiadurol (CFD) a Dadansoddi Elfennau Meidraidd (FEA) i ymchwilio a gwella dyluniadau cerbydau.

Gorfodol 

Yn eich blwyddyn olaf, byddwch yn ymchwilio i feysydd arbenigol fel dylunio trenau pŵer, a rheolaeth drydanol. Byddwch yn gweithio ar brosiectau annibynnol a grŵp, gan gymhwyso’ch gwybodaeth i’w defnyddio mewn sefyllfaoedd go iawn ym myd Chwaraeon Moduro. Mae’r cwrs hefyd yn ymdrin ag agweddau amgylcheddol dylunio a thechnoleg, gan eich paratoi ar gyfer ystod eang o gyfleoedd cyflogaeth.

  • Caiff y cwrs ei asesu drwy gymysgedd o waith cwrs, profion cyfnod, cyflwyniadau, arholiadau llafar ac arholiadau.

  • 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 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 

    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.
