Doethuriaeth mewn Arfer Proffesiynol (Rhan amser) (DProf)

Dysgu o Bell
hyd at 8 Blynedd Rhan amser

Mae’r Doethuriaeth mewn Ymarfer Proffesiynol (DProf) yn radd ymchwil a gynlluniwyd ar gyfer gweithwyr proffesiynol profiadol sydd eisiau datblygu eu harbenigedd, gwella eu hymarfer ac arwain newid yn eu maes. Mae’n ddelfrydol i’r rhai sy’n dymuno cynnal ymchwil ystyrlon heb gamu i ffwrdd o’u gyrfaoedd. Mae’r rhaglen yn cyfuno trylwyredd academaidd â pherthnasedd yn y byd go iawn, gan ganolbwyntio ar ymchwil seiliedig ar waith sy’n cael effaith wirioneddol mewn lleoliadau proffesiynol. 

Mae’r radd ran-amser hon yn caniatáu ichi ymchwilio i faterion sy’n uniongyrchol gysylltiedig â’ch gwaith bob dydd. P’un a ydych chi’n gweithio mewn addysg, iechyd, busnes, y sector cyhoeddus neu’r diwydiannau creadigol, mae’r DProf yn eich cefnogi i gwestiynu, archwilio a gwella’r arferion a’r systemau sy’n bwysig fwyaf yn eich proffesiwn. Byddwch yn cael eich annog i fyfyrio ar eich datblygiad proffesiynol, cymhwyso dulliau ymchwil mewn cyd-destunau ymarferol, a chreu mewnwelediadau gwreiddiol a all lywio ymarfer yn y dyfodol. 

Yr hyn sy’n gosod y rhaglen hon ar wahân yw ei strwythur hyblyg, cefnogol. Mae Rhan 1 yn canolbwyntio ar adolygu eich dysgu proffesiynol ac adeiladu eich sgiliau ymchwil trwy fodiwlau a addysgir a gyflwynir mewn lleoliad cydweithredol, grŵp bach. Mae hyn yn creu amgylchedd dysgu a rennir lle mae syniadau a phrofiadau yn cael eu cyfnewid ar draws ystod o broffesiynau. Mae Rhan 2 yn canolbwyntio ar brosiect ymchwil mawr sy’n seiliedig ar waith, sy’n arwain at draethawd ymchwil 60,000 o eiriau. Mae hyn yn eich galluogi i ymchwilio i fater sylweddol yn eich maes a chynhyrchu darn o ymchwil sydd â chymhwysiad yn y byd go iawn. 

Mae ein DProf yn cyfateb o ran sefyllfa academaidd i PhD, ond gyda ffocws clir ar ymchwil ymarferol, gymhwysol yn hytrach nag archwilio damcaniaethol. Nid yw’n nodweddiadol yn llwybr i yrfaoedd academaidd ond yn hytrach mae wedi’i gynllunio ar gyfer gweithwyr proffesiynol sydd eisiau gwneud gwahaniaeth yn eu diwydiannau a’u cymunedau. 

Mae’r rhaglen hon yn cynnig cyfle i gamu’n ôl, myfyrio ac arwain arloesedd proffesiynol trwy ymchwil feddylgar, barhaus.

Doctorate in Professional Practice (Part-time) (DProf)

Distance Learning
up to 8 Years Part-time

The Doctorate in Professional Practice (DProf) is a research degree designed for experienced professionals who want to develop their expertise, improve their practice and lead change within their field. It is ideal for those who wish to carry out meaningful research without stepping away from their careers. The programme blends academic rigour with real-world relevance, focusing on work-based research that makes a genuine impact in professional settings. 

This part-time degree allows you to investigate issues that are directly connected to your day-to-day work. Whether you’re working in education, health, business, the public sector or the creative industries, the DProf supports you to question, explore and improve the practices and systems that matter most in your profession. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on your professional development, apply research methods in practical contexts, and create original insights that can inform future practice. 

What sets this programme apart is its flexible, supportive structure. Part 1 focuses on reviewing your professional learning and building your research skills through taught modules delivered in a collaborative, small group setting. This creates a shared learning environment where ideas and experiences are exchanged across a range of professions. Part 2 centres on a major work-based research project, culminating in a 60,000-word thesis. This allows you to investigate a significant issue in your field and produce a piece of research that has real-world application. 

Our DProf is equivalent in academic standing to a PhD, but with a clear focus on practical, applied research rather than theoretical exploration. It is not typically a route into academic careers but is instead designed for professionals who want to make a difference in their industries and communities. 

This programme offers the opportunity to step back, reflect and lead professional innovation through thoughtful, sustained research.

Un o nodweddion neilltuol y cwrs hwn yw ei gyfuniad o safbwyntiau traddodiadol a modern. Byddwch yn ymgysylltu â thestunau athronyddol sy’n amrywio o weithiau clasurol i syniadau arloesol, gan feithrin gwerthfawrogiad o athroniaeth hanesyddol a chyfoes.

Mae’r cwrs hefyd yn cynnig cyfle i astudio dramor, gan ehangu eich gorwelion a chyfoethogi eich dealltwriaeth o safbwyntiau byd-eang ar athroniaeth.

Drwy gydol y rhaglen, byddwch yn meithrin sgiliau gyrfa hanfodol, gan gynnwys meddwl yn feirniadol, datrys problemau, a chyfathrebu’n effeithiol.

P’un a ydych yn dymuno herio tybiaethau, mynd i’r afael â phroblemau cymhleth, neu baratoi ar gyfer gyrfa ystyrlon, mae’r cwrs BA Athroniaeth gyda Blwyddyn Sylfaen yn fan cychwyn delfrydol.

Erbyn diwedd eich astudiaethau, byddwch wedi datblygu sylfaen gref mewn rhesymu athronyddol, yr offer i fynd i’r afael â phroblemau cymhleth, a’r hyder i fynegi eich mewnwelediadau’n glir. Mae’r cwrs hwn yn fwy na thaith academaidd—mae’n gyfle i dyfu’n ddeallusol, archwilio’r cwestiynau mawr, a pharatoi ar gyfer dyfodol o ymgysylltu meddylgar â’r byd.

Y Beibl a Diwinyddiaeth (Rhan amser) (BA Anrh)

Dysgu o Bell
6 Blynedd Rhan amser
96 - 112 o Bwyntiau UCAS

Mae’r cwrs BA (Anrh) Y Beibl a  Diwinyddiaeth rhan-amser ym Mhrifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant yn cynnig cyfle i chi archwilio credoau a thraddodiadau dwy o grefyddau mawr y byd: Iddewiaeth a Christnogaeth. 

Mae’r rhaglen hyblyg hon wedi’i chynllunio ar gyfer y rhai sydd am ddyfnhau eu dealltwriaeth o feddwl crefyddol a’i effaith ar gymdeithas tra’n cydbwyso ymrwymiadau eraill. Yn ystod y cwrs, byddwch yn astudio’r testunau, yr hanesion a’r traddodiadau cysegredig sydd wedi llunio’r crefyddau hyn a’r ffyrdd y maent yn parhau i ddylanwadu ar fywyd modern.

Drwy gydol y cwrs, byddwch yn ymchwilio i draddodiadau ysbrydol ac ysgrifenedig y Beibl, gan archwilio datblygiad testunau allweddol a’u hystyron. Trwy archwilio arferion a chredoau crefyddol, byddwch yn dysgu sut mae’r traddodiadau hyn wedi siapio nid yn unig ffydd unigol ond hefyd diwylliannau a chymdeithasau cyfan. Cewch gyfle i astudio sut mae gwahanol enwadau Cristnogol yn dehongli eu testunau sanctaidd a mynegi eu ffydd trwy addoli ac arfer. Fel rhan o’r cwrs, byddwch hefyd yn ymchwilio i sut mae hunaniaeth grefyddol yn cael ei ffurfio a sut mae crefydd yn dylanwadu ar ddadleuon moesegol, cymdeithasol a gwleidyddol yn y byd sydd ohoni.

Elfen allweddol o’r radd hon yw dysgu sut i feddwl yn feirniadol a dadansoddi testunau a syniadau crefyddol. Fe’ch cyflwynir i wahanol ddulliau a fframweithiau i’ch helpu i ymgysylltu â dadleuon diwinyddol mewn ffordd wybodus a meddylgar. Drwy astudio materion cyfoes, fel y berthynas rhwng crefydd a moeseg, byddwch yn cael cipolwg ar sut mae meddwl crefyddol yn dylanwadu ar wneud penderfyniadau moesol mewn meysydd fel cyfiawnder, heddwch a hawliau dynol.

Byddwch yn dysgu gan ddarlithwyr profiadol sy’n ymchwilwyr gweithredol ym maes crefydd a diwinyddiaeth. Bydd eu gwybodaeth a’u brwdfrydedd yn eich tywys wrth i chi archwilio syniadau heriol a datblygu eich meddwl beirniadol a chreadigol eich hun. Mae’r cwrs hwn wedi’i gynllunio i annog dysgu annibynnol, gan roi’r rhyddid i chi adfyfyrio ar eich astudiaethau a datblygu’ch mewnwelediadau personol i’r pynciau sydd yn eich ysgogi fwyaf.

Erbyn diwedd y radd, byddwch wedi cael dealltwriaeth gyfoethog o’r rôl y mae crefydd yn ei chwarae wrth lunio’r byd o’n cwmpas. Bydd y sgiliau rydych chi’n eu datblygu - fel meddwl yn feirniadol, dadansoddi testunol, a rhesymu moesegol—yn werthfawr mewn llawer o yrfaoedd gwahanol, gan gynnwys arweinyddiaeth grefyddol, addysg, gwaith cymdeithasol, a rolau sy’n gofyn am ddealltwriaeth o faterion diwylliannol a moesegol.

Mae’r cwrs rhan-amser hwn yn ddelfrydol ar gyfer y rhai sydd am astudio’r Beibl a diwinyddiaeth ar eu cyflymder eu hunain wrth archwilio sut mae ffydd a chymdeithas yn croestorri yn y byd sydd ohoni.
