Gallwch fynychu hyd at naw weminar dwyieithog gyda chyfle i holi cwestiynau byw ar bynciau hanfodol megis dewis cwrs, datganiadau personol, cyllid myfyrwyr a manteision astudio trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.

Bydd y digwyddiad rhyngweithiol hwn yn rhoi cyfle i chi ymweld â stondinau a sgwrsio gyda chynrychiolwyr, gweld gwybodaeth a gwylio fideos, lawrlwytho prosbectysau a mynychu gweminarau byw mewn awditoriwm rhithiol.

Mae’r digwyddiad ar gael yn rhad ac am ddim ac ar agor i fyfyrwyr Blwyddyn 11 – 13, rhieni ac athrawon.
