Information provided by Department of Welsh:

  • Rhoi i’r myfyrwyr y cyfle i astudio’r iaith Gymraeg a’i llenyddiaeth ar wastad academaidd uchel, gan roi iddynt y moddion i’w deall, eu dadansoddi a’u gwerthfawrogi fel rhan ganolog o hanes meddwl, dychymyg a mynegiant y Cymry.

  • Meithrin mewn myfyrwyr y gallu i adnabod teithi’r iaith Gymraeg, a’u galluogi  i’w mynegi eu hunain ynddi, ar lafar ac yn ysgrifenedig, yn hyderus, yn rhugl ac  yn gywir

  • Cynorthwyo myfyrwyr i ddeall ac i werthfawrogi grym mynegiannol iaith.

  • Meithrin dealltwriaeth o’r broses greadigol ac o werth gweithiau llenyddol.

  • Meithrin mewn myfyrwyr y gallu i feddwl drostynt eu hunain, i feithrin barn feirniadol a golygwedd hanesyddol, a, lle bo’n berthnasol, i feithrin eu doniau llenyddol.

  • Ennyn mewn myfyrwyr frwdfrydedd tuag at y pwnc.

  • Darparu profiad cyffrous a boddhaus o ran dysgu ac addysgu.

  • Meithrin sgiliau trosglwyddadwy a fydd yn berthnasol i ddatblygiad personol y myfyrwyr ac a fydd yn gaffaeliad iddynt pan gyflogir hwy maes o law.

  • Paratoi myfyrwyr ar gyfer ymateb i ofynion cyflogwyr mewn gyrfaoedd lle byddant yn arddel cymhwyster yn y Gymraeg a lle disgwylir iddynt ddefnyddio’r iaith yn gyson ar wastad uchel.

  • Gosod sylfaen ar gyfer astudio pellach o fewn cwmpas y pwnc ei hun ac o fewn meysydd perthynol.

Information provided by Department of Mathematics:

This programme caters for a degree scheme which allows the student to take a course in which one-half of the content is in Mathematics and the remainder in another subject.

 

The educational aims of the programme are:

· To provide students with knowledge and understanding in a range of topics in Mathematics, which may include some topics in Statistics.

· To develop skills in the application of such knowledge and understanding to the solutions of problems in Mathematics.

· To develop the ability to transfer subject-specific skills to a range of topics in Mathematics.

· To allow students to develop subject-specific knowledge and skills in another discipline in parallel with their studies in Mathematics.

· To prepare students for careers in which a combination of the skills developed in Mathematics and another subject is particularly appropriate. 

· To develop analytical reasoning skills, team-working skills, information technology skills and other skills appropriate to a wide range of careers.

12 : Support for students and their learning
Every student is allocated a Personal Tutor. Personal Tutors have an important role within the overall framework for supporting students and their personal development at the University. The role is crucial in helping students to identify where they might find support, how and where to seek advice and how to approach support to maximise their student experience. Further support for students and their learning is provided by Information Services and Student Support and Careers Services.

13 : Entry Requirements
Details of entry requirements for the scheme can be found at http://courses.aber.ac.uk

14 : Methods for evaluating and improving the quality and standards of teaching and learning
All taught study schemes are subject to annual monitoring and periodic review, which provide the University with assurance that schemes are meeting their aims, and also identify areas of good practice and disseminate this information in order to enhance the provision.

15 : Regulation of Assessment
Academic Regulations are published as Appendix 2 of the Academic Quality Handbook: https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/aqro/handbook/app-2/.

15.1 : External Examiners
External Examiners fulfill an essential part of the University’s Quality Assurance. Annual reports by External Examiners are considered by Faculties and Academic Board at university level.

16 : Indicators of quality and standards
The Department Quality Audit questionnaire serves as a checklist about the current requirements of the University’s Academic Quality Handbook. The periodic Department Reviews provide an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of quality assurance processes and for the University to assure itself that management of quality and standards which are the responsibility of the University as a whole are being delivered successfully.
