“Mae’r arweiniad cyfeillgar a gefais gan diwtoriaid wedi fy helpu i ddatblygu’r sgiliau astudio modern oedd eu hangen i symud ymlaen i’r radd ac i gwblhau fy MA mewn Hanes, ac rwy’n ddiolchgar iawn iddyn nhw!” Catherine

“The friendly guidance I have received from tutors has helped me to develop the modern study skills needed after my retirement to progress to the degree, and finally to complete my MA in History, and I can’t thank them enough! Catherine

“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.

‘’Mae wedi bod yn llawer o waith caled, ac yn anodd ar adegau i gadw cydbwysedd rhwng bywyd teuluol prysur a fy astudiaethau, ond mae’r canlyniad wedi bod yn werth yr holl ymdrech. Mae wedi arwain at ddechrau swydd yn fy ngyrfa o ddewis ym mis Medi, sy’n fy ngwneud i’n hapus iawn’’. Mae Genevre yn graddio gyda BSc Radiograffeg a Delweddu Diagnostig

“It has been a lot of hard work, and sometimes very difficult to juggle a busy family life with my studies but the result is definitely worth it, and the reward of starting a job in my new chosen career in September is exhilarating” Genevre graduates with a BSc Diagnostic Radiography and Imaging

Genevre is a former Pathway to Healthcare student.
