Professional Practice: Leadership in Emergency Services (LES) (Part-time) (MA)

Distance Learning
3 Years Part-time
Minimum of 5 years’ level-appropriate work-based or voluntary experience. 

The Professional Practice: Leadership in Emergency Services (LES) (Distance Learning, Part-Time) is a specialised master’s programme designed for professionals working in emergency services, disaster response, crisis management, and public safety. 

This fully online, work-based degree is tailored to help firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and emergency planners develop strategic leadership skills while continuing their vital work.

Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application, students will explore crisis response, risk management, inter-agency collaboration, and resilience planning. This degree enables learners to apply contemporary leadership strategies directly to their roles, improving decision-making and operational efficiency in high-pressure environments.

The programme is highly flexible, allowing students to choose modules relevant to their specific emergency services sector. A key advantage is the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, which acknowledges previous training and operational experience, allowing students to gain credits and accelerate their studies.

Students will engage in research-led teaching, case studies, and leadership development projects, collaborating with emergency services organisations to tackle real-world challenges. Graduates will leave with advanced leadership skills, critical thinking abilities, and crisis management expertise, equipping them to lead emergency response teams, develop policy initiatives, and improve crisis preparedness strategies.

If you’re looking for a flexible, sector-specific master’s degree that enhances leadership in emergency response and public safety, the MA Leadership in Emergency Services at University of Wales Trinity Saint David is the ideal choice

4 Blynedd Rhan-amser
Gradd anrhydedd 2:1

Mae’r MRes mewn Gwareiddiadau’r Henfyd yn cynnig astudiaeth drochol, sy’n canolbwyntio ar ymchwil o gymdeithasau hynafol mwyaf dylanwadol y byd. O bensaernïaeth goffaol Aifft yr Henfyd a dinasoedd arloesol Mesopotamia i etifeddiaeth ddeallusol Gwlad Groeg Glasurol a Rhufain, mae’r rhaglen hon yn rhoi cyfle i ymgysylltu’n ddwfn â diwylliannau, hanesion a gweddillion materol y gorffennol. Y tu hwnt i’r ymerodraethau adnabyddus, byddwch hefyd yn archwilio bydoedd diddorol Tsieina’r henfyd, yr ardal Egeaidd yn yr Oes Efydd, a’r Celtiaid, gan ehangu eich dealltwriaeth o sut y lluniodd y gwareiddiadau hyn hanes dynol.

Mae’r rhaglen hon yn ddelfrydol ar gyfer myfyrwyr sy’n awyddus i ddatblygu eu harbenigedd mewn hanes Gwlad Groeg, hanes y Rhufeiniaid, a’r henfyd yn ehangach, tra’n mireinio sgiliau ymchwil uwch. Gan gyfuno modylau a addysgir ag ymchwil annibynnol, mae’r MRes yn cynnig cydbwysedd o ddysgu strwythuredig a rhyddid deallusol. Mae traean o’r cwrs yn cynnwys elfennau a addysgir, lle byddwch yn cael hyfforddiant hanfodol mewn archaeoleg, dadansoddi hanesyddol, a methodolegau ymchwil. Mae’r ddwy ran o dair sy’n weddill yn canolbwyntio ar brosiect ymchwil manwl, dan oruchwyliaeth arbenigwr academaidd, sy’n eich galluogi i ddilyn eich diddordebau arbenigol eich hun ym maes gwareiddiadau’r henfyd.

Drwy astudio’r MRes hwn, byddwch yn ymgysylltu ag ystod eang o ffynonellau gwreiddiol, o destunau hynafol i arteffactau, ac yn datblygu’r offer dadansoddi sy’n angenrheidiol i’w dehongli. Trwy astudio archaeoleg, byddwch yn archwilio sut mae diwylliant materol-fel celf, pensaernïaeth, a gwrthrychau bob dydd yn taflu goleuni ar fywydau pobloedd hynafol. Byddwch hefyd yn ennill sgiliau trosglwyddadwy mewn meddwl yn feirniadol, datrys problemau a rheoli prosiectau, sy’n cael eu gwerthfawrogi’n fawr yn y byd academaidd, amgueddfeydd, sectorau treftadaeth, a thu hwnt.

Mae’r rhaglen wedi’i chynllunio ar gyfer y rhai sy’n ystyried ymchwil bellach ar lefel PhD, yn ogystal ag ar gyfer graddedigion sy’n awyddus i ddatblygu eu gyrfaoedd mewn addysg, treftadaeth a’r celfyddydau. P’un a ydych chi’n cael eich cyfareddu gan systemau gwleidyddol Rhufain yr Henfyd, mytholeg Gwlad Groeg Glasurol, neu ryfeddodau peirianneg Mesopotamia, mae’r MRes yma yn eich caniatáu i archwilio’r pynciau hyn yn fanwl wrth ennill sylfaen gref mewn ymchwil a dadansoddi.

Gydag opsiynau astudio hyblyg, gan gynnwys llawn-amser, rhan-amser a dysgu o bell, mae’r MRes yn darparu ar gyfer amrywiaeth o amserlenni ac ymrwymiadau. O dan arweiniad staff academaidd profiadol, byddwch yn ymuno â chymuned ymchwil ddynamig ac yn cyfrannu at y gwaith parhaus o archwilio’r henfyd. Mae’r rhaglen hon yn ddewis ardderchog i’r rhai sy’n awyddus i ddatblygu arbenigedd yng ngwareiddiadau’r henfyd wrth gaffael y sgiliau a’r wybodaeth i ragori mewn astudiaeth academaidd bellach neu ystod eang o feysydd proffesiynol.

The programme is designed for those considering further research at PhD level, as well as for graduates looking to advance their careers in education, heritage, and the arts. Whether you are fascinated by the political systems of Ancient Rome, the mythology of Classical Greece, or the engineering marvels of Mesopotamia, this MRes allows you to explore these topics in depth while gaining a strong foundation in research and analysis.

With flexible study options, including full-time, part-time, and distance learning, the MRes caters to a variety of schedules and commitments. Under the guidance of experienced academic staff, you will join a dynamic research community and contribute to the ongoing exploration of the ancient world.

Hanes yr Henfyd (Rhan-amser) (MRes)

Dysgu o Bell
4 Blynedd Rhan-amser
Gradd anrhydedd 2:1

Mae’r rhaglen MRes yn Hanes yr Henfyd wedi’i chynllunio ar gyfer y rhai sy’n angerddol am archwilio’r gorffennol trwy astudiaeth annibynnol, sy’n cael ei gyrru gan ymchwil. Mae’r cwrs hwn yn rhoi cyfle unigryw i ymgysylltu’n ddwfn â’r henfyd, o frwydrau grym yr Ymerodraeth Rufeinig a choncwestau Alecsander Fawr i fywydau bob dydd pobl mewn cymdeithasau hynafol. P’un a oes gennych ddiddordeb yn hanes Gwlad Groeg yr Henfyd, hanes y Rhufeiniaid, hanes y Dwyrain Agos, neu dirweddau ehangach Affro-Ewrasia, mae’r rhaglen hon yn cynnig profiad academaidd cyfoethog a hyblyg.

Yn wahanol i’r radd meistr a addysgir  draddodiadol, mae’r MRes yn rhoi pwyslais cryf ar ymchwil annibynnol. Fel arfer, mae traean o’r rhaglen yn cynnwys modylau a addysgir, gan roi sylfaen gadarn i chi mewn dulliau ymchwil, astudiaethau Gwlad Groeg yr Henfyd, ac astudiaethau Lladin, yn ogystal â sgiliau technegol wrth ddadansoddi llawysgrifau ac arysgrifau hynafol. Mae’r ddwy ran o dair sy’n weddill o’r cwrs wedi’i neilltuo i brosiect ymchwil sylweddol, a ddatblygir mewn cydweithrediad â goruchwyliwr arbenigol. Mae hyn yn eich galluogi i ddilyn eich diddordebau penodol yn Hanes yr Henfyd, gan fireinio eich sgiliau dadansoddi a dyfnhau eich dealltwriaeth o gymhlethdodau’r cymdeithasau yma o’r gorffennol. 

Mae’r cwrs hwn yn mynd y tu hwnt i astudio digwyddiadau hanesyddol yn unig. Byddwch yn archwilio themâu megis rhyfela ac economi yn Hanes yr Henfyd, gan archwilio sut y siapiodd strategaethau milwrol, systemau masnach a strwythurau gwleidyddol wareiddiadau’r henfyd. Byddwch hefyd yn ymgysylltu â thestunau clasurol, gan ymchwilio i sut mae ffynonellau hynafol yn llywio ein dehongliadau modern o hanes. Trwy weithio gyda deunyddiau gwreiddiol a datblygu arbenigedd mewn ffynonellau cynradd, byddwch yn gwella eich gallu i gynnal ymchwil academaidd trylwyr, gan eich paratoi ar gyfer astudio ymhellach ar lefel PhD neu yrfaoedd mewn meysydd sydd angen meddwl beirniadol a manwl gywirdeb dadansoddol.

Mae’r MRes mewn Hanes yr Henfyd yn rhoi i chi’r sgiliau trosglwyddadwy sy’n cael eu gwerthfawrogi’n fawr ar draws y sectorau academaidd a phroffesiynol. Byddwch yn datblygu arbenigedd mewn rheoli prosiectau, datrys problemau a chyfathrebu effeithiol, yn ogystal â’r gallu i werthuso syniadau cymhleth a chyfuno llawer iawn o wybodaeth. Mae’r sgiliau hyn yn amhrisiadwy nid yn unig ar gyfer ymchwil academaidd ond hefyd ar gyfer gyrfaoedd yn y llywodraeth, addysg, cyhoeddi, treftadaeth a diwydiannau diwylliannol.

Os ydych yn awyddus i archwilio’r henfyd yn fanwl a datblygu sgiliau ymchwil arbenigol, mae’r MRes mewn Hanes yr Henfyd yn darparu’r sylfaen ddelfrydol ar gyfer eich uchelgeisiau academaidd a phroffesiynol.

Mae opsiynau eraill yn archwilio cysylltiadau byd-eang, gan gynnwys Rhufain a Chefnfor India a Bywyd yn Anialwch Dwyreiniol yr Aifft.

Mae’r traethawd hir yn eich galluogi i gynhyrchu ysgolheictod gwreiddiol, gan fireinio’ch gallu i gynnal dadansoddiad hanesyddol uwch a’ch paratoi ar gyfer astudiaethau doethurol neu rolau ymchwil proffesiynol.
