Welcome / Croeso<br />

Where can I Study? / Ble Alla I Astudio?<br />

Welcome to the Department of Adult Continuing Education<br />

(DACE) where staff are firm advocates of lifelong learning<br />

and committed to providing flexible and appropriate<br />

learning opportunities for adult students.<br />

The BA Part-time Degree Programme in Humanities, History<br />

or English is offered on campus at Singleton Park and in<br />

various community venues in <strong>Swansea</strong>, Neath Port Talbot,<br />

Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.<br />

The programme is specifically designed for those who choose<br />

to study on a part-time basis because of work, family or other<br />

commitments. Our students come from many different walks<br />

of life and during the last 22 years, over 450 people have<br />

graduated from the programme gaining a qualification that can<br />

aid their career and provide a sense of achievement and selffulfilment.<br />

The flexibility and structure of the degree programme<br />

has enabled them to study and achieve their goals while still<br />

continuing with their busy everyday lives.<br />

Programme Structure<br />

You can study part-time for a degree in Humanities, History or<br />

English. A wide range of courses are available in a variety of<br />

subjects which allow you to tailor your studies to your own needs<br />

and interests.<br />

You can choose two subjects to study each year throughout the<br />

programme and can also mix and match your choice of venues.<br />

The majority of classes are delivered via the traditional face-toface<br />

method.<br />

Classes in Pembrokeshire are often taught via a videoconferenced<br />

link from <strong>Swansea</strong>; an exciting and on-going<br />

development. At all classes, a variety of teaching methods are<br />

used from small seminars to discussion groups and workshops.<br />

Tutor Expertise<br />

At DACE, we have an excellent group of tutors who, in addition<br />

to being experts in their own disciplines, are also committed to the<br />

education of adults and to widening access in general.<br />

They have a fundamental role in enthusing students and it is largely<br />

due to their expertise that students are able to keep on-track, stay<br />

motivated and achieve to their full ability.<br />

Croeso i’r Adran Addysg Barhaus Oedolion lle mae’r staff<br />

yn gefnogwyr brwd dysgu gydol oes, ac wedi ymrwymo<br />

i ddarparu cyfleoedd dysgu hyblyg ac addas i fyfyrwyr<br />

mewn oed.<br />

Cynigir y Radd BA Ran-amser yn y Dyniaethau, Hanes, a<br />

Saesneg ar y campws ym Mharc Singleton ac mewn nifer o<br />

leoliadau cymunedol yn Abertawe, Castell-nedd Port Talbot,<br />

Sir Gaerfyrddin a Sir Benfro.<br />

Mae’r rhaglen wedi’i dylunio’n benodol ar gyfer y rhai sy’n<br />

dewis astudio ar sail rhan amser oherwydd ymrwymiadau<br />

gwaith, ymrwymiadau teuluol, neu ymrwymiadau eraill. Daw<br />

ein myfyrwyr o lawer o wahanol gefndiroedd, ac yn ystod y<br />

22 blynedd diwethaf, mae dros 450 o unigolion wedi graddio<br />

o’r rhaglen, gan ennill cymhwyster a allai fod o gymorth yn<br />

eu gyrfâu, ac a allai hyrwyddo teimlad o gyrhaeddiad a<br />

hunangyflawniad. Mae hyblygrwydd a strwythur y rhaglen radd<br />

wedi’u galluogi i astudio ac i gyflawni eu hamcanion tra bod eu<br />

bywydau prysur yn parhau fel arfer.<br />

Strwythur y Rhaglen<br />

Gellwch astudio am radd ran amser yn y Dyniaethau, Hanes,<br />

neu Saesneg. Mae ystod eang o gyrsiau ar gael mewn<br />

amrywiaeth o bynciau sy’n caniatáu i chi deilwra’ch astudio i’ch<br />

anghenion a’ch diddordebau’ch hunan.<br />

Gallwch ddewis dau bwnc i’w hastudio bob blwyddyn trwy<br />

gydol y rhaglen, a gallwch ddewis a chyfuno lleoliadau i<br />

ddiwallu’ch anghenion.<br />

Cyflwynir y rhan fwyaf o’r cyrsiau trwy’r dull traddodiadol<br />

wyneb yn wyneb. Yn aml, dysgir dosbarthiadau yn Sir Benfro<br />

trwy gyswllt fideo-gynadledda o Abertawe; datblygiad<br />

cyffrous a pharhaus. Defnyddir ystod o ddulliau dysgu yn yr<br />

holl ddosbarthiadau - o seminarau bychain i grwpiau trafod a<br />

gweithdai.<br />

Arbenigedd y Tiwtoriaid<br />

Mae gyda ni grŵp ardderchog o diwtoriaid yn AABO sydd, yn<br />

ogystal â bod yn arbenigwyr yn eu meysydd pwnc eu hunain, wedi<br />

ymrwymo i ddysgu oedolion ac i ehangu mynediad yn gyffredinol.<br />

Mae eu rôl o ran ysbrydoli myfyrwyr yn sylfaenol, a’u harbenigedd<br />

sydd yn gyfrifol, yn bennaf, am sicrhau bod myfyrwyr yn gallu dal<br />

ati, cynnal eu cymhelliad, a chyflawni hyd eithaf eu gallu.<br />

Students can study on the BA Part-time Degree Programme in Humanities, History or English in any one of the fifteen locations across<br />

<strong>Swansea</strong>, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.<br />

Academic Study Support - Help with your return to learning<br />

At DACE we recognise that adult students come from all walks of life and that<br />

they need to have flexibility in the way that they study.<br />

Whatever your individual situation - whether you are keen to update your writing skills or want to develop<br />

new learning strategies to support your part-time degree studies, we have something to offer you.<br />

New students often require support and encouragement before embarking upon the part-time degree.<br />

The FREE Academic Support Sessions outlined below help prepare students for the demands of higher education. Sessions also include<br />

time for students to find out more about how library staff can help them with their research and assignment preparation.<br />

All part-time degree students have access to a variety of learning resources and details of these will be issued at enrolment.<br />

New part-time degree students are strongly recommended to attend these sessions.<br />

Supporting regeneration through education<br />

Hybu’ch dysgu, diogelu’n gorffennol<br />

Cefnogi adfywio trwy addysg<br />

Opened on the 20th October 1973, the South Wales Miners’<br />

Library has developed as an internationally respected centre<br />

for the research of the historical, cultural, social, educational<br />

and political aspects of the South Wales Coalfield.<br />

Its unique collection, consisting of rare and important books,<br />

pamphlets, banners, posters, oral history recordings and<br />

newspaper articles, attracts visitors from all over the world,<br />

including academic researchers, students, family history<br />

enthusiasts, local historians and the media. The Library has<br />

many touring exhibitions which have generated great interest<br />

in the remarkable history of industrial South Wales.<br />

For the past 40 years, the SWML has been instrumental in<br />

supporting the regeneration work undertaken by DACE in<br />

providing community based education.<br />

From the NUM day release courses which were taught until<br />

the early 1990s, to the pioneering Community <strong>University</strong> of<br />

the Valleys and successful Part-Time Degree scheme, which is<br />

currently offered in community venues across <strong>Swansea</strong>, Neath<br />

Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, the South<br />

Wales Miners’ Library has worked closely with staff in DACE<br />

to provide innovative and appropriate library and information<br />

services to all.<br />

In 1989, a branch of the South Wales Miners’ Library was<br />

opened at the DOVE Workshop in Banwen offering <strong>University</strong><br />

library and information services in a community setting. It is<br />

an initiative that still flourishes today.<br />

To mark the 40th anniversary of the South Wales Miners’<br />

Library, a commemorative book will be published in October.<br />

The Library will also hold a series of free lectures which will<br />

reflect the history and future aspirations of the Library.<br />

Sharing Our Success<br />

Rhannu Ein Llwyddiant<br />

Learner Awards<br />

Over many years, several Part-time Degree<br />

students have received special recognition for<br />

their outstanding learning achievements. Their<br />

inspirational stories demonstrate their dedication<br />

to their studies.<br />

Such commitment has resulted in students being<br />

the successful recipients of Adult Learner Awards.<br />

We, at DACE, are delighted to share this success<br />

with you. Mark Hall, from Llandybie, who is<br />

soon to graduate with a BA (Honours) Degree in<br />

History, was the successful recipient of two Higher<br />

Education Learner of the Year Awards at the<br />

Neath Port Talbot and Carmarthenshire Learner<br />

Awards 2012. Mark first became a student when<br />

he started a Welsh language course following his<br />

return to Wales in 2005 to care for his mother.<br />

The inspiration and support that he received from<br />

tutors encouraged him to seize the opportunity<br />

to improve his qualifications. Shortly afterwards<br />

Mark enrolled on the Part-time Degree delivered<br />

by DACE. Alongside his degree studies, Mark is<br />

a carer for his wife and had to co-ordinate care to<br />

enable him to attend class.<br />

Congratulating Mark on his achievement, Head of<br />

the Department of Adult Continuing Education at<br />

<strong>Swansea</strong> <strong>University</strong> Professor Colin Trotman said:<br />

“I am delighted that Mark has received recognition<br />

for his studies. He is an inspirational student and<br />

has successfully balanced his carer responsibility<br />

and study load, He is to be congratulated on<br />

gaining these esteemed awards. We are all very<br />

proud of his achievements.”<br />

Gwobrau i Ddysgwyr<br />

Dros y blynyddoedd, mae sawl myfyriwr ar y Radd<br />

Ran Amser wedi derbyn cydnabyddiaeth arbennig<br />

am eu cyraeddiadau dysgu eithriadol. Mae eu<br />

hanesion ysbrydoledig yn dangos eu hymroddiad<br />

i astudio. Gyda’r fath ymroddiad, mae rhai<br />

myfyrwyr wedi ennill Gwobrau Dysgwyr Mewn<br />

Oed. Rydym ni, yn AABO, yn falch o rannu’r<br />

llwyddiant hwn gyda chi.<br />

Mark Hall, o Landybïe, a fydd yn graddio’n fuan<br />

gyda BA (Anrhydedd) mewn Hanes, oedd enillydd<br />

dwy Wobr Dysgwr Addysg Uwch y Flwyddyn yn<br />

Seremoni Gwobrwyo Dysgwyr Castell-nedd Port<br />

Talbot a Sir Gaerfyrddin yn 2012.<br />

Dechreuodd Mark astudio trwy wneud cwrs<br />

Cymraeg pan ddaeth yn ôl i Gymru yn 2005<br />

i ofalu am ei fam. Roedd yr ysbrydoliaeth a’r<br />

gefnogaeth a gafodd gan ei diwtoriaid wedi’i<br />

annog i achub ar y cyfle i wella ei gymwysterau.<br />

Yn fuan wedyn, cofrestrodd Mark ar y Radd<br />

Ran Amser a gyflwynir gan AABO. Yn ogystal<br />

ag astudio am radd, mae Mark yn gofalu am ei<br />

wraig, a bu raid iddo gydlynu gofal amgen er<br />

mwyn gallu mynychu’r dosbarthiadau.<br />

Wrth longyfarch Mark ar ei gyflawniad,<br />

dywedodd yr Athro Colin Trotman, Pennaeth yr<br />

Adran Addysg Barhaus Oedolion ym Mhrifysgol<br />

Abertawe: “Dwi’n hynod o falch bod Mark<br />

wedi’i gydnabod am ei astudio. Mae’n fyfyriwr<br />

ysbrydoledig, ac mae wedi llwyddo i gydbwyso<br />

ei yrfa a’i waith astudio. Dylid llongyfarch iddo<br />

ar ennill y wobr fawreddog hon. Rydym i gyd yn<br />

falch iawn o’i gyflawniadau.”<br />

Graduate Success Story<br />

DACE students come from all walks of life and<br />

have many inspiring stories to tell about their<br />

studies on the Part-time BA Humanities Degree<br />

Programme. Denise Lewis graduated with a First<br />

Class Honours Humanities Degree in 2012.<br />

Denise, from Crynant, left school without any<br />

qualifications. Whilst working in a local factory,<br />

she undertook a range of courses at the Dulais<br />

Opportunities for Voluntary Enterprise (DOVE)<br />

Workshop and Glynneath Training Centre. These<br />

included DACE Pathways courses. Denise always<br />

had a desire to gain a qualification and applied<br />

for the Part-time BA Humanities Degree in 1998<br />

but she was too nervous to attend the interview.<br />

Eight years later and after much encouragement<br />

from DOVE and DACE staff, Denise enrolled on<br />

the Part-time BA Humanities Degree programme.<br />

Denise has worked as a Development Officer<br />

for the Cwmdulais Uchaf Communities First team<br />

based at the DOVE Workshop for over ten years.<br />

She said “Achieving my degree was something<br />

I never thought I could do. The Part-time Degree<br />

programme was a very positive experience and<br />

studying at community venues such as DOVE<br />

gave me the flexibility to study whilst balancing<br />

my work and family life. I thoroughly enjoyed my<br />

experience of the Part-time Degree, the lecturers<br />

and lectures were inspirational. I studied the<br />

degree for personal development reasons and I<br />

would like to continue learning, so I might consider<br />

taking a Masters degree in the future. I would like<br />

to thank my family, colleagues, friends and staff<br />

at the South Wales Miners’ Library and DACE,<br />

who patiently supported and encouraged me<br />

throughout my studies and played a huge part in<br />

helping me achieve my degree.”<br />

Llwyddiant Graddedig<br />

Mae myfyrwyr AABO yn dod o gefndiroedd amrywiol<br />

iawn, ac mae ganddynt sawl stori ysbrydoledig am<br />

eu hastudio ar y Rhaglen Radd BA Ran Amser yn y<br />

Dyniaethau. Graddiodd Denise Lewis gyda Gradd<br />

Anrhydedd Dosbarth Cyntaf yn y Dyniaethau yn<br />

2012.<br />

Roedd Denise, o Greunant, wedi gadael yr ysgol heb<br />

unrhyw gymwysterau. Tra’r oedd yn gweithio mewn<br />

ffatri leol, astudiodd nifer o gyrsiau yng ngweithdy<br />

Cyfleoedd Menter Wirfoddol Dulais (DOVE) ac yng<br />

Nghanolfan Hyfforddi Glyn-nedd. Roedd y rhain yn<br />

cynnwys cyrsiau Llwybr AABO. Roedd Denise wastad<br />

wedi bod ag awydd ennill cymhwyster, ac ymgeisiodd<br />

am y Radd BA Ran Amser yn y Dyniaethau ym 1998,<br />

ond roedd yn rhy ofnus i ddod i’r cyfweliad. Wyth<br />

mlynedd yn hwyrach, a chyda llawer o anogaeth<br />

oddi wrth staff y Gweithdy ac AABO, cofrestrodd<br />

Denise ar y Rhaglen Radd BA yn y Dyniaethau. Mae<br />

Denise wedi gweithio’n Swyddog Datblygu gyda thîm<br />

Cymunedau’n Gyntaf Cwmdulais Uchaf yn y Gweithdy<br />

ers dros ddeng mlynedd. Dywedodd, “Roedd ennill<br />

gradd yn rhywbeth nad oeddwn erioed wedi credu y<br />

gallwn ei wneud. Roedd y Rhaglen Radd Ran Amser<br />

yn brofiad cadarnhaol iawn, ac roedd astudio mewn<br />

lleoliadau cymunedol megis y Gweithdy yn caniatáu’r<br />

hyblygrwydd i astudio tra roedd fy ngwaith a fy<br />

mywyd teuluol yn parhau. Roeddwn i wedi mwynhau<br />

astudio’r Radd Ran Amser yn fawr iawn. Roedd y<br />

darlithwyr a’r darlithoedd yn ysbrydoledig. Astudiais<br />

y radd am resymau datblygiad personol, a hoffwn<br />

barhau i ddysgu, felly mae’n bosibl y byddaf yn<br />

ystyried gwneud gradd Meistr yn y dyfodol. Hoffwn<br />

ddiolch i fy nheulu, fy nghydweithwyr, fy ffrindiau, a<br />

staff Llyfrgell Glowyr De Cymru ac AABO, oedd wedi<br />

fy nghefnogi’n amyneddgar, a f’annog trwy gydol<br />

fy astudio. Chwaraeon nhw ran fawr wrth fy helpu i<br />

ennill fy ngradd.”<br />

Tutor Profile<br />

<strong>Swansea</strong> Poet, Peter Thabit Jones, began teaching at DACE 20<br />

years ago and has been a tutor for the Part-time Humanities Degree<br />

since 2003. Peter has taught on a wide range of community based<br />

Literature modules such as ‘Singing light: The Poetry and Prose<br />

of Dylan Thomas’ and ‘Wonderland and Beyond: Ten Children’s<br />

Peter is an award-winning poet and playwright, who has numerous<br />

publications to his name. He is also the founder and Editor of ‘The<br />

Seventh Quarry’, a poetry magazine published in <strong>Swansea</strong>. During<br />

March 2008, Peter toured America for six weeks with the late<br />

participated in many poetry readings and workshops at Universities<br />

and Poetry Centres from New York to California. In May of that year,<br />

Peter and Aeronwy were commissioned by the Welsh Assembly<br />

Government in New York to write the first-ever ‘Dylan Thomas<br />

Walking Tour of Greenwich Village, New York’. The Tour is currently<br />

“During my teaching on the programme I have seen many students<br />

getting used to the commitment of returning to the classroom,<br />

to the shining achievement of knowing they have at<br />

last achieved their degree. I am full of<br />

admiration for the way that students<br />

balance their commitments, be it family,<br />

work, health or other, with their studies.<br />

Over the years I have taught people<br />

who need extra support during their<br />

studies because of a disability and I<br />

am always amazed by their diligence.<br />

Many of our students become good<br />

friends and create a network beyond<br />

the classroom and that is so rewarding<br />

to see. They are all in the same boat<br />

sailing towards the dream of a personal<br />

degree”.<br />

which remained essentially those of a city state. The module<br />

analyses how this was accomplished.<br />

and nature of Egyptian civilisation down to the death of Ramesses<br />

The aim of this course is to introduce students to Sociology as<br />

an academic area. It will attempt to show how Sociology tries to<br />

understand the social world and people as social beings. It will<br />

ask, and try to answer, such questions as how does society work,<br />

how do we explain socio-economic inequality, are human beings<br />

solely formed by genetic inheritance or by socialisation. Amongst<br />

cultural trends.<br />

introduces students to the study of gender and education. During<br />

the first module of this course, we explore girls’ and boys’<br />

experiences of schooling. We begin by looking at the historical<br />

differences between boys’ and girls’ schooling. We look at<br />

theories of gender difference, feminist perspectives and theories<br />

of masculinities. We look at research focusing on both boys’ and<br />

girls’ experiences of schooling. This is followed by an exploration<br />

of the educational experiences of girls and boys from ethnic<br />

minorities. Questions raised include ‘how important is gender<br />

in structuring pupils’ experiences of schooling?’ and ‘what is the<br />

relationship between gender, class and ethnicity?’<br />

contribution to the field of psychotherapy as a whole.<br />

In this course we examine some of the fundamental issues<br />

connected with personal identity from philosophers through the<br />

ages. We will explore the unity of consciousness and ask does<br />

being a person require self awareness. Are we psychologically<br />

free or are we restrained by mental laws in the way that we are<br />

our interactions with other people and the privacy of our own<br />

mind.<br />

The significance of social policies and the development of<br />

consumerism and individualism which radically challenged the<br />

social democratic consensus of the post-war welfare state. The<br />

analytical concepts of writers such as Gramsci and Foucault<br />
