Pam astudio Astudiaethau Crefyddol?Ceir dau gamddealltwriaeth cyffredin pan yn sôn am astudio Astudiaethau Crefydd ar gyfer opsiwn UG neu Lefel Uwch. Yn gyntaf, nid pwnc ar gyfer pobl sydd am fod yn leianod na chwaith yn ficer ydyw! Yn ail, nid bwriad y cwrs, na’r athrawes, yw eich troi yn berson crefyddol. Mae’r cwrs yn agored ar gyfer rhai sydd â ffydd grefyddol ac ar gyfer y rhai sydd heb ffydd grefyddol. Am y rheswm yma, nid yw’r cwrs na’r arholiad yn ymwneud a’ch safbwynt personol chi am grefydd.
Pa fath o berson sydd yn cymryd U/G a Lefel Uwch Astudiaethau Crefydd?Dylech fod yn ddisgybl a meddwl agored am grefydd. Dylech fwynhau trafod a datrys cwestiynau dwys bywyd, cwestiynau lle mae crefydd yn ceisio ateb, a bod gyda chi ddiddordeb i ddatblygu eich gallu i drafod a dadlau yn synhwyrol a deallus am broblemau sydd yn codi wrth geisio ateb y cwestiynau hyn.

Level:
AS & A |
Religious StudiesWhy study Religious Studies?There are two common misunderstandings about the study of religion at ‘A’ level. Firstly, it is not a subject taken only by those who want to become monks or nuns! Secondly, it is not the intention of the course or the teacher to make you into a religious person. The course is open to those who have a religious faith and those who do not. What you believe is ultimately your concern. For this reason the examination is not concerned with judging your personal religious point of view.
What kind of person takes Religious Studies ‘A’Level?The kind of person who takes Religious Studies ‘A’ level should be someone with an open mind about religion. He or she should enjoy engaging with some of the deep and ultimate questions about human life, which religions seek to answer, and should be interested in developing the ability to reason and argue intelligently about issues, which arise in relation to these questions.
Entrance RequirementsIt is advisable for students to achieve a C grade or above for Religious Studies GCSE and Welsh Language GCSE before undertaking the AS course. This will deem the pupil qualified and suitable.
Possible CareersLaw, Social Work, the Police, the Armed Forces, Nursing, Banking, Journalism to name but a few, welcome applicants with an A’ level in this subject. Of course, all Universities and Colleges of Education also accept it for entrance to degree courses such as Law, Sociology, History, Welsh, Psychology as well as the traditional Religious Studies and Theology courses.
Further ResearchA useful reading list is available from the department which gives an introduction into the course (exciting reading over the summer holidays!) For further details please contact the Head of Department.
