Art Courses under Threat! Sign the Petition! Cyrsiau Celf dan Fygythiad
The Issue
Without consulting students, staff, or stakeholders, Bangor University has decided to close its Fine Art BA and MA degree courses from 2017 onwards. Bangor’s Academic and Academic-related Staff Union (UCU) has written to inform the University of its legal duty to consult on the proposed closing of this degree scheme.
Art and Design at Bangor University achieved 86.9%, ranking 14 UK wide in the Good University Guide Tables 2016 and the Fine Art Programme was Highly Commended for Innovation in Teaching at first Universities Association for Lifelong Learning Awards 2009.
Fine Art alumni are creative practitioners in the region and feed directly into the Creative Industries and are an essential part of the cultural fabric of the region, enhancing quality of life and well being in the community. The influence of a thriving art community on economic regeneration is well documented.
The 18 member part time tutor team are also part of this cultural fabric. Their experience and contribution as practicing artists to the teaching programme has resulted in excellent NSS and External Examiner responses each year.
We are very concerned about the loss of art at Bangor University and the effects this will have on students, staff, and the community. We ask that Bangor University put in place a consultation process on the proposed and misguided closure of Fine Art as a matter of urgency.
Prifysgol Bangor: Cyrsiau Celf dan Fygythiad! Arwyddwch y ddeiseb!
Heb ymgynghori â myfyrwyr, staff, neu randaliad, mae Prifysgol Bangor wedi penderfynu cau ei chyrsiau gradd Celfyddyd Gain BA a MA o 2017 ymlaen. Mae Undeb Staff Academaidd a Chysylltiad Bangor (UCU) wedi ysgrifennu i hysbysu'r Brifysgol am ei dyletswydd gyfreithiol i ymgynghori ynglŷn â'r bygythiad i gau'r cynllun gradd hwn.
Mae Celf a Dylunio ym Mhrifysgol Bangor wedi cyflawni 86.9%, safle 14 ledled y DU yn y Tablau Good University Guide 2016 ac mae'r Rhaglen Celfyddyd Gain wedi derbyn Canmoliaeth Uchel am Arloesi mewn Dysgu yng Ngwobrau Dysgu Gydol Oes 2009 gan Gymdeithas Prifysgolion Cyntaf.
Mae cyn-fyfyrwyr Celfyddyd Gain yn ymarferwyr creadigol yn yr ardal ac yn bwydo yn uniongyrchol i mewn i'r Diwydiannau Creadigol ac yn rhan hanfodol o ffabrig diwylliannol yr ardal, gan wella ansawdd bywyd a lles yn y gymuned. Mae dylanwad celf ffyniannus ar y gymuned ac ar adfywio economaidd yn cael ei ddogfennu'n halaeth.
Mae'r 18 aelod o dîm tiwtoriaid rhan amser hefyd yn rhan o'r ffabrig diwylliannol hwn. Mae eu profiad a chyfraniad fel artistiaid â'r rhaglen addysgu wedi arwain at ymateb rhagorol gan NSS ac Arholwr Allanol bob blwyddyn.
Rydym yn bryderus iawn ynghylch colli celf ym Mhrifysgol Bangor a'r effeithiau a gaiff hyn ar fyfyrwyr, staff, a'r gymuned. Rydym yn gofyn i Brifysgol Bangor sefydlu proses ymgynghorol ar y bwriad annoeth i gau Celfyddyd Gain fel mater o frys.
