Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change (Part-Time) (BSc Hons)

Swansea
6 Years Part-time
104-120 UCAS Points

Our planet is facing an unprecedented climate crisis, along with threats to biodiversity, habitats and human development. The United Nations Learning Partnership highlights that children today will face the consequences of a changing climate, and a 2021 Lancet report found that 84% of young people report climate anxiety, and worry about their future on a degrading planet. However: these problems are not insurmountable. They simply require people willing to work to be part of the solution.

This course differs from traditional environmental science programmes in that its focus is on practical application of science and theory to finding and enacting solutions to the issues the planet faces. Our course team has a strong record in research across multiple environmental disciplines which allows coverage of contemporary environmental issues holistically from all angles. Key themes include ecology and biodiversity, climate change, sustainable development, natural resource management, coastal and marine science, and the use of industry-vital environmental technologies such as GIS and remote sensing. 

This teaching is supplemented with strong industry engagement and frequent fieldwork to apply learning to real-world scenarios, build connections, and put theory into practice. You will develop skills that are highly valued by employers, such as critical thinking, the ability to understand and tackle complex issues, and the skill to present clear and logical arguments. Our high post-course employment rate, across many environmental disciplines, reflects the value of this more practical approach.

Join us to gain the knowledge and skills needed to tackle global environmental change. A sustainable future is possible; let us give you the tools to make it.

The part-time option of our BSc Environment, Sustainability, and Climate Change degree allows you to balance study with your personal and professional life, making it an ideal choice for those seeking flexibility.

    Cynhelir y tiwtorialau hyn yn rheolaidd, ar draws pob lefel. Ym Mlwyddyn 1 mae pob myfyriwr yn gweld ac yn trafod eu gwaith gydag aelod o staff ym mhob sesiwn stiwdio, felly hefyd ym Mlwyddyn 2. Mae myfyrwyr y drydedd a’r bedwaredd flwyddyn yn tueddu gweithio’n fwy annibynnol ac yn trefnu tiwtorial pan fyddant yn teimlo bod angen. Fodd bynnag, fel tîm, rydym yn sicrhau bod pob myfyriwr ym Mlwyddyn 3 yn cael eu gweld gan o leiaf un aelod o’r staff academaidd bob wythnos. Rydym yn ymfalchïo bod cyfle i weld staff yn rheolaidd.

    Tiwtorialau Ffurfiol

    Cynhelir y rhain o leiaf unwaith y tymor gyda myfyrwyr yn unigol. Trafodir y gwaith a’r cynnydd, trwy ddatblygiad ymarferol a chysyniadol, bwriadon y myfyrwyr yn y dyfodol ayb. Mae’n gyfle i unrhyw faterion/bryderon gael eu codi gan naill barti neu’r llall. Caiff cofnod wedi’i recordio o’r tiwtorial ei ddyblygu er mwyn i’r myfyriwr ei gadw yn eu ffeil adborth er cyfeiriad.  

    Beirniadaethau grŵp

    Cynhelir y rhain yn rheolaidd, ar draws pob lefel, naill ai gydag aelod o staff neu dan arweiniad myfyrwyr.Maent yn rhoi cyfle gwych i fyfyrwyr rannu a chyfnewid syniadau gyda’u cymheiriaid mewn ffordd strwythuredig yn ogystal â chael mewnbwn gwerthfawr gan staff.

    Cyflwyniadau anffurfiol a ffurfiol

    Mae natur y cyflyniad yn amrywio’n unol â’r lefel. Gall y cyflwyniadau fod i gymheiriaid, staff neu bartneriaid briffiau diwydiant/byw. Gellir eu cyflwyno gan unigolion i gynulleidfa, neu gan grwpiau’n gweithio gyda’i gilydd.Cyflwynir cyflwyniadau anffurfiol er mwyn helpu myfyrwyr i fagu hyder wrth siarad am eu gwaith i’w cymheiriaid a staff drwy gydol y rhaglen. Mae yna sefyllfaoedd eraill ble gall cyflwyniadau chwarae rhan fwy ffurfiol o’r asesiad ar ddiwedd prosiect. 

    Arddangos gwaith

    Eto, mae natur hyn yn amrywio o fewn cyd-destun y prosiectau, y gwaith i’w asesu a chyfnod y rhaglen – gall amrywio o ran ffurfioldeb o leoliad cyhoeddus, arddangosfa ddigidol, i leoliad desg myfyriwr unigol.  Fel rhaglen, rydym yn dwlu ar y cyfle i rannu a dangos gwaith ein myfyrwyr i’r byd, felly fel arfer, manteisir ar unrhyw gyfleoedd gwerthchweil i arddangos gwaith er mwyn cyfoethogi profiad myfyrwyr.

  • 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 hymarfer 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 £100 ond mae’n bosibl y bydd gennych lawer o’r offer sydd ei angen yn barod, felly 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.

  • 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 y byddwch yn gymwys i gael cyllid i helpu i gefnogi eich astudiaethau. I gael gwybod am ysgoloriaethau, bwrsariaethau a chyfleoedd ariannu eraill sydd ar gael, ewch i’n hadran Ysgoloriaethau a Bwrsariaethau.

  • Gall myfyrwyr hefyd fanteisio ar y cyfle i astudio am semester yn Ewrop, UDA neu Ganada.

  • 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 is carried out through coursework, both written and practical. There are no exams on this course. Students are formatively assessed throughout a module in a variety of blended digital and campus-based styles. Summative assessment takes place at the end of a module — work is specified to be either submitted to digital platforms or presented at desks, or in exhibition scenarios. A variety of teaching and learning methods are used throughout the course which includes amongst others; 

    Informal Tutorials   
    These tutorials are held on a regular basis, across all levels. In Year 1 each student sees and discusses their work with a member of staff at each studio session, likewise in Year 2. Third and fourth-year students tend to work more independently and sign up for a tutorial when they feels the need arises. However, as a team, we ensure that every student in Year 3 is seen by at least one member of the academic staff each week. We pride ourselves on the fact that there is the opportunity to see staff regularly. 

    Formal Tutorials  
    These are held at least once a term with individual students. The work and progress are discussed, through practical and conceptual development, future intentions of the student etc. It is an opportunity for any issues/concerns by either party, to be raised. A recorded account of the tutorial is duplicated for the student to store in their feedback file and refer back to.  

    Group critiques  
    These are held on a regular basis, across all levels, either with a member of staff or student-led. They provide an excellent opportunity for students to share and exchange ideas with their peers in a structured manner in addition to valuable input from staff.

    Informal and Formal presentations  
    The nature of the presentation varies according to the level. Presentations may be to peers, staff or industry/live brief partners. They may be presented by individuals to an audience, or by groups, working together. Informal presentations are introduced in order to help students gain confidence in talking about their work to their peers and staff throughout the programme. There are other situations where presentations can take a more formal part of the assessment at the end of a project.  

    Exhibiting work  
    Again, the nature of this varies within the context of the projects, the work to be assessed and the stage of the programme — it can range in formality from a public venue, a digital showreel, to the individual student’s desk space.  As a programme, we love the opportunity to share and get our students’ work out into the world, so usually, any worthwhile opportunities for the exhibition are capitalised on to enhance the student experience.

  • 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 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 £100 but you may well already have much of the equipment required so check with us first.  Also, 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.

  • 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.

    We also provide a variety of opportunities to learn and develop your Welsh language skills.

Adeiladu Cynaliadwy (Rhan amser) (MSc)

Abertawe
2 Blynedd rhan amser
Gradd anrhydedd 2:2

Mae’r diwydiant adeiladu yn rhan enfawr o’n byd ac yn darparu swyddi i filiynau o bobl, gyda dros 100 miliwn o bobl ledled y byd yn dibynnu arno am eu bywoliaeth. Ond, wrth i’r diwydiant adeiladu dinasoedd, ffyrdd a thai, mae hefyd yn defnyddio llawer o’n hadnoddau naturiol ac yn creu effaith amgylcheddol ddifrifol. Daw bron i hanner allyriadau carbon y byd o’r amgylchedd adeiledig, ac mae’r sector hwn yn defnyddio tua 50% o’r holl ddeunyddiau naturiol sy’n cael eu cloddio. Mae’r galw mawr hwn yn rhoi mwy o bwysau ar yr amgylchedd, gan ei gwneud yn hanfodol i’r diwydiant feddwl a gweithredu’n fwy cynaliadwy.

Mae’r cwrs Adeiladu Cynaliadwy yn PCYDDS yn rhoi’r offer sydd eu hangen ar fyfyrwyr i helpu i newid y ffordd rydym yn adeiladu, gan ganolbwyntio ar leihau’r effeithiau hyn. Mae’r cwrs yn archwilio ffyrdd o leihau allyriadau carbon drwy ddefnyddio arferion adeiladu cynaliadwy. Mae myfyrwyr yn dysgu am y strategaethau diweddaraf mewn rheoli gwastraff, gan archwilio sut y gallwn leihau faint o wastraff tirlenwi a gynhyrchir gan y gwaith adeiladu a dod o hyd i ffyrdd mwy ecogyfeillgar o drin deunyddiau. 

Mae’r cwrs yn cynnwys ystod eang o sgiliau a gwybodaeth hanfodol sy’n mynd y tu hwnt i adeiladu strwythurau’n unig. Mae’n ymwneud â dysgu sut i ddefnyddio dulliau cynaliadwy sy’n diogelu adnoddau gwerthfawr fel dŵr ac yn lleihau gwastraff, gan sicrhau y gall adeiladu yn y dyfodol ddiwallu anghenion cymdeithas heb leihau adnoddau’r blaned.

Ar y cwrs hwn, mae myfyrwyr  yn cael eu haddysgu sut y gall adeiladu cynaliadwy wneud gwahaniaeth cadarnhaol. Byddan nhw’n edrych ar y cyd-destun ehangach, gan weld sut mae prosiectau adeiladu unigol gyda’i gilydd yn cael effaith ar yr amgylchedd cyfan. Mae’r pynciau’n ymdrin â heriau amgylcheddol adeiladu a sut mae’r diwydiant yn newid i greu adeiladau mwy diogel ac iachach. Drwy ddysgu’r sgiliau hyn, mae myfyrwyr yn cael eu paratoi ar gyfer gyrfaoedd sy’n cyfrannu at ddiwydiant mwy cynaliadwy, o reoli adnoddau’n effeithiol i ddylunio adeiladau sy’n defnyddio llai o ddeunyddiau ac yn cynhyrchu llai o allyriadau.

Mae’r cwrs hwn yn addas i unrhyw un sydd eisiau helpu i wneud gwahaniaeth yn y diwydiant adeiladu trwy ddeall sut y gallwn ni leihau effaith amgylcheddol adeiladu. Mae wedi’i gynllunio i baratoi myfyrwyr i ymgymryd â’r heriau hyn gyda syniadau newydd, sgiliau ymarferol, ac ymrwymiad i gynaliadwyedd. Y nod yw adeiladu’n gallach, nid dim ond yn fwy, ar gyfer byd sy’n gallu ffynnu ymhell i’r dyfodol.

Mewn maes sydd bob amser yn newid, bydd graddedigion y rhaglen hon, yn barod i ddiwallu anghenion yfory, gyda’r offer i ailfeddwl am y ffordd yr ydym yn mynd ati i adeiladu er lles ein planed a chenedlaethau’r dyfodol.

Mae’r opsiwn rhan amser o’n MSc Adeiladu Cynaliadwy yn caniatáu i chi gydbwyso astudio gyda’ch bywyd personol a phroffesiynol, gan ei wneud yn ddewis delfrydol ar gyfer y rheiny sy’n chwilio am hyblygrwydd.

  • Fel arfer, mae’r Rhaglen yn defnyddio dulliau asesu ffurfiannol neu grynodol. Mae asesiadau ffurfiannol yn cael eu cynllunio er mwyn sicrhau bod myfyrwyr yn datblygu ymwybyddiaeth o’u cryfderau a’u gwendidau eu hunain. Fel arfer, bydd asesiadau o’r fath ar ffurf gwaith ymarferol sy’n dangos gallu’r myfyriwr ar draws ystod o weithgareddau.

    O ran asesiadau ffurfiol traddodiadol sydd â chyfyngiadau amser, bydd y rhain ar ffurf profion ac arholiadau sydd fel arfer yn ddwy awr o hyd. Mae arholiadau yn ffordd draddodiadol o wirio mai’r myfyriwr ei hun sy’n cynhyrchu’r gwaith. 

    Mewn rhai modiwlau, er mwyn helpu i ddilysu gwaith cwrs, bydd angen i’r myfyriwr a’r darlithydd drafod y pwnc sy’n cael ei asesu yn unigol fel bo’r darlithydd yn gallu monitro cynnydd.

    Yn rhai o’r modiwlau lle mae’r asesiad yn seiliedig ar ymchwil, bydd angen i’r myfyrwyr gyflwyno canlyniadau eu gwaith ymchwil i’r darlithydd a’u cyfoedion ar lafar neu’n weledol, ac yna gymryd rhan mewn sesiwn holi ac ateb.

    Mae strategaethau asesu o’r fath yn cyd-fynd â strategaethau dysgu ac addysgu’r tîm, hynny yw, lle mai’r nod yw cynhyrchu gwaith sy’n cael ei yrru’n bennaf gan y myfyriwr, mae’n unigol a myfyriol a, lle bo hynny’n briodol, mae’n canolbwyntio ar alwedigaeth. Bydd myfyrwyr yn dechrau derbyn adborth yn fuan yn y cyfnod astudio, ac yn parhau i’w dderbyn trwy gydol y sesiwn astudio, gan ychwanegu mwy o werth i ddysgu’r myfyriwr.

  • 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 byddwch chi’n dewis astudio eich cwrs yn 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. 

    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. Golyga hyn na ellir gwarantu argaeledd modylau cyfrwng Cymraeg penodol.  

    Cyfleoedd Cymraeg Allgyrsiol 

    Yn ogystal, 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.  

    Cyfleoedd i Ddysgu Cymraeg 

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

  • Bydd mynediad i’ch dyfais ddigidol eich hun/y pecyn TG priodol yn hanfodol yn ystod eich amser yn astudio gyda PCYDDS. Bydd mynediad at wifi yn eich llety hefyd yn hanfodol i’ch galluogi i ymgysylltu’n llawn â’ch rhaglen.

  • Mae’r MSc yn cael ei gydnabod yn eang fel cymhwyster ôl-raddedig gwerthfawr.  Mae’n arwydd bod y myfyriwr yn gallu ymrwymo i raglen astudio ac yn gallu datblygu eu gwybodaeth o fewn y maes astudio academaidd. Bydd y rhaglen yn helpu myfyrwyr i ddatblygu sgiliau sy’n werthfawr i ystod eang o gyflogwyr, megis y gallu i ddadansoddi gwybodaeth gymhleth yn feirniadol; y gallu i gyflwyno dadleuon eglur a chydlynol, a’r gallu i gyflwyno gwybodaeth gymhleth mewn ffordd eglur. 

    Bydd addysg o’r fath yn datblygu ymwybyddiaeth o gydgysylltedd yr amgylchedd adeiledig, ac mae’r cymhwyster yn berthnasol i nifer o wahanol sefyllfaoedd galwedigaethol. Mae hyblygrwydd y rhaglen fodiwlaidd yn galluogi myfyrwyr i ddatblygu pecynnau astudio sy’n bodloni eu diddordebau arbenigol a’u dyheadau gyrfa ym maes yr amgylchedd adeiledig. 

    Mae llawer o sefydliadau mawr ym myd busnes bellach wedi sefydlu systemau rheoli a gweithdrefnau archwilio, ac o ddilyn llwybrau gyrfa ein cyn-fyfyrwyr gwelwn fod cyfleoedd iddynt ar bob lefel o reoli. Bydd y radd hon, a ddatblygwyd mewn ymgynghoriad â’r BRE a Chwmnïau/Ymgynghorwyr mawr eraill, yn helpu myfyrwyr i ddatblygu gyrfa yn y meysydd hyn.  Mewn gwirionedd, mae’r cyswllt annatod â’r BRE yn arwydd o safon i fyfyrwyr ac i gyflogwyr cysylltiedig y rhaglen hon. 

    Mae gan yr Ysgol hanes hir o feithrin cysylltiadau â’r diwydiant, ac ers y 1990au mae rhaglenni wedi cynnal cyfarfodydd cyswllt diwydiannol bob blwyddyn.  Mae’r adborth a geir ar bolisïau, mentrau a materion newydd yn llywio’r cwricwlwm, yr addysgu a’r ymarfer, yn enwedig y mewnbwn gwerthfawr a gafwyd (yn enwedig gan BRE) cyn dilysu’r rhaglenni. Bydd y cysylltiadau hefyd yn caniatáu i fyfyrwyr gael profiad o weithio ar brosiectau ‘byw’. 

    Roedd argymhellion y BRE ar gynnwys y rhaglenni/rhaglenni arfaethedig yn cynnwys:

    • Rhoi cyfle i fyfyrwyr weithio ar brosiectau rhyngddisgyblaethol gyda myfyrwyr sy’n astudio cymwysterau eraill sy’n gysylltiedig ag adeiladu, er enghraifft, penseiri, syrfewyr, peirianwyr sifil, syrfewyr meintiau, cynllunwyr a chrefftwyr; byddai’r hyn yn efelychu sut mae prosiectau adeiladu yn y byd go iawn.
    • Galluogi myfyrwyr i ennill profiad ymarferol, a thrwy hynny ddefnyddio’r theori y maen nhw wedi’i ddysgu.

    Mae’r mathau yma o addysgu, sydd â’r diwydiant yn sail iddo, yn rhoi cyfle i lywio addysg, dysg, ac asesu, ac yn gwneud myfyrwyr yn fwy deniadol i gyflogwyr.

Sustainable Construction (Part-time) (MSc)

Swansea
2 Years Part-time
2:2 honours degree

The construction industry is a huge part of our world and provides jobs to millions, with over 100 million people around the globe relying on it for their livelihood. But, as the industry builds cities, roads, and houses, it also uses up a lot of our natural resources and creates serious environmental impact. 

Nearly half of the world’s carbon emissions come from the built environment, and this sector consumes about 50% of all extracted natural materials. This high demand is placing more pressure on the environment, making it essential for the industry to think and act more sustainably.

The Sustainable Construction course at UWTSD gives students the tools they need to help change the way we build, focusing on reducing these impacts. The course explores ways to cut down on carbon emissions by using sustainable construction practices. Students learn about the latest strategies in waste management, exploring how we can reduce the amount of landfill waste produced by construction and find more eco-friendly ways to handle materials. 

The course covers a wide range of essential skills and knowledge that go beyond just building structures. It’s about learning to use sustainable methods that protect valuable resources like water and reduce waste, ensuring that future construction can meet society’s needs without depleting the planet’s resources.

On this course, students are taught how sustainable construction can make a positive difference. They’ll look at the big picture, seeing how individual building projects add up to make an impact on the whole environment. Topics cover the environmental challenges of construction and how the industry is changing to create safer, healthier buildings. By learning these skills, students are prepared for careers that contribute to a more sustainable industry, from managing resources effectively to designing buildings that use fewer materials and produce lower emissions.

This course suits anyone who wants to help make a difference in the construction industry by understanding how we can minimise the environmental impact of building. It’s designed to prepare students to take on these challenges with new ideas, practical skills, and a commitment to sustainability. The goal is to build smarter, not just bigger, for a world that can thrive well into the future.

In a field that is always changing, graduates from this programme will be ready to meet tomorrow’s needs, equipped to rethink the way we approach construction for the sake of our planet and future generations.

The part-time option of our MSc in Sustainable Construction allows you to balance study with your personal and professional life, making it an ideal choice for those seeking flexibility.

    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.  

  • Assessments used within this Programme are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities.

    Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. 

    To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress.

    Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session.

    Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated. Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.

  • 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.  

    Opportunities to Learn Welsh 

    We also provide a variety of opportunities to learn and develop your Welsh language skills.   

  • Access to your own digital device/the appropriate IT kit will be essential during your time studying at UWTSD. Access to wifi in your accommodation will also be essential to allow you to fully engage with your programme. See our dedicated webpages for further guidance on suitable devices to purchase, and for a full guide on getting your device set up.

    You may face additional costs while at university, including (but not limited to):

    • Travel to and from campus
    • Printing, photocopying, binding, stationery and equipment costs (e.g. USB sticks)
    • Purchase of books or texts
    • Gowns for graduation ceremonies
  • 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.

  • The MSc is widely recognised as a valuable postgraduate qualification.  It demonstrates the student’s ability to commit to a programme of study and develop their knowledge within that area of academic study. The programme will help develop skills which are valuable to a wide range of employers, such as the ability to analyse complex information critically, the ability to present clear and coherent arguments and the ability to present complex information in a clear manner. 

    Such an education will develop an awareness of the interconnectedness of the built environment, and equip the student with a qualification relevant to a number of different vocational situations.  The flexibility of the modular programme enables students to develop packages of study which satisfy specialist interests and career aspirations in the built environment. 

    In business, many large organisations have established management systems and auditing procedures, and our former students’ career paths demonstrate opportunities at all levels of management.  This degree, which was developed in consultation with the BRE and major Companies/Consultants, will help students develop a career in these areas.  In fact, the integral link with the BRE is a fundamental ‘kitemark’ for students and associated employers of this programme. 

    The School has a long history of industrial liaison.  Since the 1990s programmes have had annual industrial liaison meetings.  Feedback on new policies, initiatives and issues informed the curriculum, teaching and practice, especially when providing valuable input prior to validation (in particular BRE).  The links will also provide experience for students to work on ‘live’ projects. 

    Recommendations by BRE on the content of the proposed programme(s) include:

    • Providing students with the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects with students pursuing other construction-related qualifications, for example, architects, surveyors, civil engineers, quantity surveyors, planners and tradespeople; this approach would simulate real-life construction projects.
    • Enabling students to gain practical experience, thus applying the theory they have learnt.

    These types of industrially-centred learning provide the opportunity to inform teaching, learning and assessment adding much value to employability.

    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.   

    I gael yr holl wybodaeth, darllenwch y dudalen gwneud cais am fisa a chanllawiau.    

    Sylwch mai dim ond ar gyfer rhaglenni wyneb yn wyneb, ar gampws, heb elfennau astudio ar-lein y gall myfyrwyr sy’n derbyn Cymorth Ffederal yr Unol Daleithiau wneud cais. 

  • 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 byddwch chi’n dewis astudio eich cwrs yn 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. 

    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. Golyga hyn na ellir gwarantu argaeledd modylau cyfrwng Cymraeg penodol.  

    Cyfleoedd Cymraeg Allgyrsiol 

    Yn ogystal, 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.  

    Cyfleoedd i Ddysgu Cymraeg 

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

  • Mae asesiadau wedi’u llunio i wneud yn fawr o’r cyswllt rhwng theori ac arfer a chaniatáu i fyfyrwyr ddangos trylwyredd deallusol ac adfyfyrio’n feirniadol ar eu profiadau eu hunain yn y gweithle.

    Defnyddir dulliau asesu gwahanol i alluogi myfyrwyr i ddangos yr hyn maent wedi’i ddysgu mewn amrywiol ffyrdd, megis adroddiadau, gwaith adfyfyriol, cyflwyniadau, gwaith unigol a pheth gwaith grŵp, er bod asesiad unigol bob tro. Defnyddir asesiadau ffurfiannol i gyfoethogi dealltwriaeth dysgwyr ac i fagu hyder dysgwyr, yn ogystal â nodi ymhle y gallai fod angen cymorth tiwtorial ychwanegol. Ar gyfer asesiadau ffurfiannol, gall cwisiau fod yn ddifyr a gweithio’n dda. Anogir myfyrwyr i ddod â’u hymchwil eu hunain i’r dosbarth i’w rannu ag eraill sy’n cyfrannu.

    Yn gyffredinol, darperir adborth trwy’r platfform ar-lein, Moodle. Mae tîm y rhaglen hefyd yn darparu adborth wyneb yn wyneb er mwyn sicrhau bod myfyrwyr yn gwerthfawrogi ac yn dysgu o’r adborth a ddarperir ac yn gallu trafod pob agwedd ar eu perfformiad a’r gwersi y gellid eu cymhwyso yn y dyfodol.

    I grynhoi, er mwyn creu ymarferwyr adfyfyriol cymwys, bydd y rhaglen yn:

    • Annog myfyrwyr i ymgymryd â darllen ac ymchwil annibynnol i ehangu eu gwybodaeth a’u dealltwriaeth unigol o’r pwnc
    • Defnyddio dulliau asesu sy’n rhoi pwyslais ar ddadansoddi beirniadol, gwerthuso ac arfer adfyfyriol
    • Profi gwybodaeth a sylfaen sgiliau drwy waith cwrs ac ymarferion ymarferol a asesir.
  • Fel sefydliad, ymdrechwn yn barhaus i gyfoethogi profiadau myfyrwyr ac o ganlyniad, mae’n bosibl y daw costau ychwanegol i ran y myfyrwyr sy’n gysylltiedig â gweithgareddau a fydd yn ychwanegu gwerth at eu haddysg.

    Mae’n bosibl cwblhau’r rhaglen astudio heb gostau ychwanegol. Efallai bydd myfyrwyr yn dymuno cofrestru am dystysgrif L5 mewn Hyfforddi a Mentora gan y Sefydliad Arweinyddiaeth a Rheolaeth am gost ychwanegol o £160.

  • 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.

  • Mae’r rhaglen yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu’r sgiliau arwain a rheoli sydd gan y myfyrwyr aeddfed a’u defnyddio yn gweithle.

    Ar ôl cwblhau’r rhaglen lefel 4 sy’n sefyll ar ei phen ei hun, gall myfyrwyr adael y Brifysgol â ThystAU lefel 4 a Thystysgrif lefel 4 mewn Arweinyddiaeth a Rheolaeth gan yr ILM. Mae’r rhan fwyaf o’r myfyrwyr llwyddiannus yn dewis symud ymlaen a pharhau â’u hastudiaethau amser llawn drwy ymgymryd â rhaglen BA atodol am 2 flynedd. Mae’r BA 2 flynedd mewn Arweinyddiaeth a Rheolaeth hefyd yn cynnig cydnabyddiaeth broffesiynol gan y Sefydliad Arweinyddiaeth a Rheolaeth i’r myfyrwyr sy’n parhau â’u hastudiaethau. Cenhadaeth y Sefydliad yw “Ysbrydoli Arweinyddiaeth Ardderchog”.

    Mae ymgysylltu â chyflogwyr yn rhoi cyfleoedd i rwydweithio a chael gwell dealltwriaeth o’r maes astudio, ac yn helpu’r brifysgol i ragweld anghenion posibl cyflogwyr yn y dyfodol. Ymgynghorir â chyflogwyr a chyrff dyfarnu wrth ddylunio’r deunydd a chynnwys y modylau ac maent yn rhoi mewnbwn ar y rhaglen ar ffurf siaradwyr o fyd diwydiant.

    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.

    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.  

    Opportunities to Learn Welsh 

    We also provide a variety of opportunities to learn and develop your Welsh language skills.   

  • Assessments are devised to maximise the link between theory and practice and allow students to demonstrate intellectual rigour and to reflect critically on their own workplace experiences.

    Differing means of assessment are employed to enable students to demonstrate their learning in various ways such as reports, reflective work, presentations, individual and some group work, although there is always individual assessment. Formative assessment is utilised to enhance leaner understanding and to build learner confidence, as well as to identify where additional tutorial support may be needed. For formative assessments quizzes can be enjoyable and work well. Students are encouraged to bring their own research to class for sharing with others who contribute.

    Feedback will generally be provided through the online platform, Moodle. The programme team also provide face to face feedback in order to ensure that students appreciate and learn from the feedback provided and are able to discuss all aspects of their performance and lessons which may be applied in the future.

    In summary, in order to create competent reflective practitioners, the programme will:

    • Encourage students to undertake independent reading and research to broaden their individual knowledge and understanding of the subject
    • Employ assessment methods that place an emphasis on critical analysis, evaluation and reflective practice
    • Test the knowledge and skill base through assessed coursework and practical exercises.
  • As an institution, we seek to continually enhance the student experience and as a result, additional costs may be incurred by the student on activities that will add value to their education.

    It is possible to complete this programme of study without any additional costs. Students may wish to register for an ILM L5 Coaching and Mentoring certificate at an additional cost of £160.

  • 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.

    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 £44.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Mae’n rhaid i fyfyrwyr wneud cais am, a chael Gwiriad y Gwasanaeth Datgelu a Gwahardd (DBS) Y Drindod Dewi Sant. Mae’r ffi’n cael ei bennu gan y DBS; ar hyn o bryd, y ffi yw tua £44.

    Gall myfyrwyr orfod talu costau ychwanegol oherwydd mae’n rhaid iddynt fynychu rhai darlithoedd modwl gyda dillad addas ar gyfer astudio yn yr awyr agored. 

    O bryd i’w gilydd, yn amodol ar ymchwil cefndir myfyriwr ar gyfer pynciau aseiniad, efallai y bydd angen iddynt deithio i leoliadau blynyddoedd cynnar. 

    Mae’r  Blynyddoedd Cynnar yn trefnu profiadau astudio gorfodol a gweithgareddau cyfoethogi i fyfyrwyr. Bydd yr Ysgol yn talu am y costau teithio ac astudio a gyfyd yn sgil hyn. Fodd bynnag, ar gyfer rhai ymweliadau, bydd rhaid i fyfyrwyr gyflenwi eu lluniaeth eu hunain.

    Yn ogystal â hyn, mae’r Ysgol Blynyddoedd Cynnar yn trefnu cyfleoedd dewisol i fyfyrwyr gael cymwysterau ychwanegol yn ystod rhan olaf eu rhaglen, er enghraifft Iechyd a Diogelwch, Amddiffyn. Bydd y rhain yn gofyn i’r myfyrwyr dalu costau; a chaiff y gost ei phennu gan y darparwr. 

    Mae’r rhaglen hefyd yn cynnig cyfleoedd dewisol i fyfyrwyr gymryd rhan mewn ymweliadau tu hwnt i’r campws er enghraifft Caerdydd, Llundain, Sweden a Chanada. Rhaid i’r myfyrwyr dalu cost yr ymweliadau dewisol hyn.
