Mae Hanes yn bwnc sy'n gofyn i ymgeiswyr ystyried materion yr unigolyn, materion moesol, moesegol, cymdeithasol, diwylliannol a chyfoes. Byddai gofyn i fyfyrwyr ymchwilio gweithredoedd aelodau cymdeithasau'r gorffennol, a thrwy hynny, codi cwestiynau ynglŷn â gorwelion, cymhellion ac ymatebion y bobl hynny.
Mae'r cwrs cyfan wedi'i strwythuro i ddarparu cyfle i ystyried hanes trwy astudio cyfnod o tua 200 mlynedd a thestun manwl llawer byrrach. Astudir agweddau gwahanol o'r ddau faes yma fel rhan o'r UG a'r Safon Uwch. Mae’r cyrsiau a astudir fel a ganlyn:
→ UG Uned 1: Llywodraeth, gwrthryfel a chymdeithas yng Nghymru tua 1485-1603 (Astudiaeth o Gyfnod)
→ UG Uned 2: Weimar a’i sialensau tua 1918-1933 (Astudiaeth Fanwl)
→ U2 Uned 3: Ffrainc—Yr Ancien Regime hyd Napoleon tua 1715—1815 (Astudiaeth Eang)
→ U2 Uned 4: Yr Almaen Natsiaidd tua 1933 - 1945 (Astudiaeth Fanwl)
