Carmarthen
4 Years Full-time
0-32 UCAS Points

This Archaeology programme with a Foundation Year offers a fantastic chance to dive into the fascinating world of the past. Designed for those who want to build their knowledge and skills, this course combines classroom learning with hands-on experiences. You will learn from experienced experts who engage in the latest field research, and you will engage in practical archaeological investigations. This mix of learning will help you develop valuable skills that will support you during your studies and in your future career.

Archaeology is about understanding the human past through the artefacts left behind by people. This includes examining items like stone tools, pottery, and bones. By studying these materials, you can uncover how ancient people lived and how their societies were structured. This process involves exploring how humans interacted with their environment and how their beliefs shaped the things they created.

A key part of this programme is looking at the bigger picture. You will study historic buildings, monuments, and landscapes to understand how humans have shaped the land and how environmental changes influenced their lives. It is also essential to learn about the beliefs and identities of past societies, including how they viewed themselves and others in life and death. Gaining this knowledge helps us understand how human development has influenced the world we inhabit today.

To be successful in archaeology, it is crucial to consider theoretical and ethical questions. You will explore important topics such as heritage, representation, and how technology affects our understanding of the past. Furthermore, you will learn how digital applications can enhance our knowledge of ancient societies. By investigating these areas, you can gain insights into how the human body, mind, and ideas have evolved over time.

This four-year degree programme is structured to help you develop a wide range of skills across various fields of study. You will learn essential archaeological methods that allow you to examine and interpret the human past. This includes using advanced technology to study ancient DNA and artefacts. You will also participate in field research, providing you with the opportunity to apply what you have learned in real-world contexts.

By the end of your studies, you will have a deeper understanding of archaeology and the human past. You will acquire the skills necessary to explore how people lived and how their lives have shaped the world today. This programme is designed to prepare you for a future in archaeology and related fields, opening doors to further study and a variety of exciting career opportunities.

As you advance, you’ll deepen your understanding of writing skills and techniques needed for shaping and refining your creative voice.

Through studying literature and culture from a range of time periods, you’ll look at works from Anglo-Saxon Heroic literature to Renaissance revenge dramas, from Victorian narrative poetry to the bestselling novels of today.

These skills will not only improve your creative work but will also prepare you for roles in publishing and media careers. Working closely with experts, including award-winning writers and novelists, you’ll learn what it takes to edit and publish work at a professional standard.

In addition to engaging with literary guest speakers and attending events, you’ll be part of immersive learning that includes lectures, seminars, and workshop sessions. Small-group classes will allow you to discuss ideas with others and build your critical thinking and communication skills. This approach to learning supports both critical and creative practice, helping you to reflect on your work and engage in thoughtful discussion, which is essential for personal and professional development.

This degree in Creative Writing and English is more than just a study of texts; it is a journey into the craft of writing and the impact of literature on culture and society.

    Os nad ydych o’r DU ac nid oes gennych breswyliad yma yn barod, efallai bydd angen i chi wneud cais am fisa.  

    Ar gyfer cyrsiau sy’n fwy na chwe mis, bydd angen fisa myfyrwyr arnoch chi.  

    Dylai myfyrwyr rhyngwladol sydd angen fisa Myfyriwr wneud cais am ein cyrsiau llawn amser gan eu bod yn gymwys ar gyfer nawdd fisa Myfyriwr.

Caerfyrddin
4 Blynedd Llawn amser
0-32 o Bwyntiau UCAS

Mae’r radd Hanes gyda Blwyddyn Sylfaen yn  rhoi cyfle unigryw i blymio i’r gorffennol, gan archwilio digwyddiadau a diwylliannau arwyddocaol o gyfnod yr henfyd i’r byd modern. Mae dechrau gyda blwyddyn sylfaen yn sicrhau bod gennych yr holl sgiliau a gwybodaeth hanfodol sydd eu hangen arnoch i lwyddo. Mae’r cwrs hwn yn berffaith i unrhyw un sydd â meddwl chwilfrydig ac awydd i ddeall y byd trwy’r digwyddiadau, y bobl a’r syniadau a’i luniodd. Byddwch yn archwilio hanes Ewrop, yr Unol Daleithiau, a’r tu hwnt, gan ddatblygu sylfaen gadarn o wybodaeth trwy fodylau ymgysylltiol ac astudiaethau ymarferol.

Drwy gydol y radd, byddwch yn datblygu dealltwriaeth o sut i adeiladu naratif hanesyddol trwy ddefnyddio ffynonellau a thystiolaeth amrywiol. Byddwch yn dysgu gofyn cwestiynau beirniadol am y gorffennol, gan gael cipolwg ar gyfoeth ac amrywiaeth hanes. Drwy astudio hanes gwleidyddol, hanes cymdeithasol, a hanes diwylliannol, byddwch yn cael darlun llawn o sut mae gwahanol rymoedd a syniadau wedi llunio cymdeithasau dros amser.

O’ch blwyddyn gyntaf, byddwch yn dechrau datblygu sgiliau ymchwil gwerthfawr a sgiliau dadansoddi trwy ystod o asesiadau. Byddwch yn defnyddio ffynonellau cynradd—fel dogfennau o’r cyfnod rydych chi’n ei astudio—yn ogystal â thystiolaeth hanesyddiaeth i feithrin eich dealltwriaeth. Mae’r dull ymarferol hwn yn eich helpu i ddatblygu meddwl beirniadol, gan eich galluogi i gwestiynu, gwerthuso a dehongli’r gorffennol yn ddyfnach.

Un o gryfderau allweddol y cwrs hwn yw’r pwyslais ar sgiliau cyfathrebu. Byddwch yn dysgu sut i rannu eich canfyddiadau mewn ffordd glir a pherswadiol, a fydd yn werthfawr mewn llawer o yrfaoedd yn y dyfodol. Mae’r sgiliau hyn yn ganolog i’r radd hon, gan eich helpu i fagu hyder wrth i chi fynegi eich syniadau a chyfrannu at drafodaethau ar bynciau hanesyddol. Mae’r ffocws hwn ar gyfathrebu yn eich paratoi i ffynnu mewn ystod o yrfaoedd lle mae cyflwyno syniadau cymhleth yn amlwg yn hanfodol.

Erbyn diwedd y cwrs, bydd gennych y sgiliau i gynnal eich ymchwil eich hun, dadansoddi tystiolaeth, a chreu dehongliadau sy’n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth o ddigwyddiadau hanesyddol. Mae’r wybodaeth a’r sgiliau yr ydych yn eu datblygu yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi’n fawr yn y farchnad swyddi, gan roi sylfaen gref i chi ar gyfer rolau mewn meysydd fel ymchwil, addysg, y cyfryngau a gwaith treftadaeth. P’un a oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn hanes er ei fwyn ei hun neu fel llwybr at yrfa yn y dyfodol, mae’r radd hon yn cynnig dealltwriaeth ddofn, ymarferol o’r gorffennol a’i effaith ar y byd heddiw.
