“Roedd y Llwybr wedi rhoi sylfaen gwerthfawr i mi a wnaeth fy nghynnal trwy gydol fy ngradd. Roedd ansawdd yr addysgu a’r gefnogaeth a gefais i gan y staff yn rhagorol. Gall dychwelyd i fyd addysg fod yn anodd, ond mae’r Llwybr yn gwneud y broses hon yn un hawdd mynd ati a’i rheoli ac - yn y pen draw - yn llwyddiant. Byddwn i’n argymell y Llwybr yn fawr i unrhyw un sy’n ystyried dychwelyd i fyd addysg.” Ben, BA Llenyddiaeth Saesneg ac Athroniaeth

“The Pathway provided an invaluable foundation that sustained me throughout my degree. The quality of teaching and support I received from the staff was excellent. Returning to education can be daunting, but the Pathway makes this process approachable, manageable and ultimately successful. I would highly recommend the Pathway for anyone considering returning to education" Ben, BA English Literature and Philosophy.
