    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.

  • Mae’r cwrs Sylfaen wedi’i leoli mewn stiwdio fawr, agored, brydferth yng Nghyfnewidfa Ddylunio ALEX, a adnewyddwyd yn ddiweddar, ac yma oedd lleoliad cyntaf y cwrs dros 100 mlynedd yn ôl. Rydym yn gweithio ar draws Campysau Alex a Dinefwr sy’n cynnig mynediad llawn i fyfyrwyr at weithdai, cyfleusterau ac adnoddau pwrpasol yn y Coleg Celf.

    Mae gan y Coleg Celf rai o gyfleusterau gorau’r ardal, gan gynnwys offer traddodiadol a thra modern sydd ar gael i’r holl fyfyrwyr fanteisio arnynt. Mae’r myfyrwyr sylfaen yn cael mynediad i feysydd astudio arbenigol megis: Gwneud printiau, Ystafelloedd tywyll ffotograffiaeth, Adeiladu mewn gweithdy â chyfarpar llawn, Argraffu 3D, Torri â laser, Cerameg a Gwydr, mannau gwaith digidol gyda chyfrifiaduron personol a Mac.

    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. 

  • Each of the 6 modules earns twenty credits, and all will be assessed through Coursework.

    Coursework is presented in Sketchbooks/Visual Diaries, Preparatory Work, Workshop & Drawing Class Work, Project Outcomes, Digital Documentation, a Selected and Collated Portfolio, Written Assignments.

    Selected and Collated Portfolio 

    Students working with staff select and collate a portfolio of work for presentation at interviews for progression onto further courses/other. The main body of the portfolio will be project work and, in particular specialist outcomes and preparatory work. Drawings and project work are selected to show additional skills and ability. Sketchbooks, visual diaries and any 3D preparatory work will accompany the portfolio.

    Written Assignments

    Formats for written assignments may include essays on proposed themes, exhibition reports, project proposals and reviews. Presentation formats may include: illustrated and fully referenced academic essays and less formal reports and/or blogs

  • 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, art and design students will likely incur some additional costs to extend their investigation of their personal practice. For example, purchasing their own specialised materials and equipment, joining 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 £100, but you may well already have much of the equipment required, so check with us first.  Although we have extensive dedicated digital design studios (PC and MAC) for you to undertake your coursework, you may wish to bring your own digital devices, again check with us first before making a purchase.

  • 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.

  • A degree in Ancient Civilisation involves a wide range of assessment methods. In addition to traditional gobbet work, essays and in class tests, you will be assessed through bibliographic exercises, presentations – oral and PowerPoint based, at both individual and group level – creation of abstracts, reflective reports, in-house conference papers, article reviews, take-home exams, group wikis, creation of project plans and, of course, the dissertation. This variety of assessment helps develop skills in presenting material in a clear, professional and lucid manner, whether orally or in writing.

    Cyfleoedd i Ddysgu Cymraeg 

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

  • Bydd myfyrwyr sy’n dechrau’r cwrs hwn yn y flwyddyn academaidd 2024-2025 ac sy’n mynd ymlaen i gofrestru ar gwrs gradd llawn amser yn derbyn ysgoloriaeth gwerth £1,500 

  • Mae’r cwrs Sylfaen wedi’i leoli mewn stiwdio fawr, agored, brydferth yng Nghyfnewidfa Ddylunio ALEX, a adnewyddwyd yn ddiweddar, ac yma oedd lleoliad cyntaf y cwrs dros 100 mlynedd yn ôl. Rydym yn gweithio ar draws Campysau Alex a Dinefwr sy’n cynnig mynediad llawn i fyfyrwyr at weithdai, cyfleusterau ac adnoddau pwrpasol yn y Coleg Celf.

    Mae gan y Coleg Celf rai o gyfleusterau gorau’r ardal, gan gynnwys offer traddodiadol a thra modern sydd ar gael i’r holl fyfyrwyr fanteisio arnynt. Mae’r myfyrwyr sylfaen yn cael mynediad i feysydd astudio arbenigol megis: Gwneud printiau, Ystafelloedd tywyll ffotograffiaeth, Adeiladu mewn gweithdy â chyfarpar llawn, Argraffu 3D, Torri â laser, Cerameg a Gwydr, mannau gwaith digidol gyda chyfrifiaduron personol a Mac.

    Rydym yn cynnal ethos a hud y cwrs Sylfaen, gan alluogi i fyfyrwyr adeiladu sail o brofiad a sgil wrth ddarganfod meysydd newydd nad ydynt efallai wedi cael y cyfle i’w harchwilio o’r blaen.  Credwn fod hyn yn hanfodol ar gyfer llwyddiant ar lefel gradd ac yn hollbwysig o ran gwneud y penderfyniad iawn ar gyfer gyrfa yn y diwydiannau creadigol yn y dyfodol.
