Graddau Ymchwil Uwchraddedig: MPhil a PhD

Mae’r graddau M.Phil a Ph.D. yn raddau a wneir drwy ymchwil, lle mae’r myfyrwyr yn gwneud prosiectau ymchwil unigol wedi’u goruchwylio gan academyddion yr adran. Gellir astudio yn amser llawn neu yn rhan-amser. Fel arfer, gwneir blwyddyn o ymchwil amser llawn (dwy flynedd yn rhan-amser) ar gyfer M.Phil, cyn i fyfyrwyr gwblhau a chyflwyno traethawd estynedig tua 60,000 o eiriau. Fel arfer, gwneir tair blynedd o ymchwil amser llawn (pum mlynedd yn rhan-amser) ar gyfer Ph.D., cyn i fyfyrwyr gwblhau a chyflwyno traethawd estynedig tua 80-100,000 o eiriau. Tua dwy flynedd yw hyd gradd (amser llawn) M.Phil ar gyfartaledd a rhwng tair a phedair blynedd ar gyfer Ph.D.

Os oes gennych ddiddordeb yn y graddau hyn, fe’ch anogir i gysylltu â’r Tiwtor Uwchraddedigion er mwyn dod o hyd i bwnc ymchwil ymarferol drwy drafod ag aelodau’r staff. Rhestrir diddordebau ymchwil y staff yn Aelodau’r Adran a’u diddordebau, ac mae aelodau’r adran bob amser yn barod i ystyried cynigion ymchwil sy’n ymwneud ag unrhyw agwedd ar eu cyfnod arbenigol, ac i drafod ffynonellau a methodolegau priodol y prosiect gydag ymgeiswyr.
