Highlights

Many lecturers and researchers at the University of South Wales are considered genuine leaders and experts in their fields, meaning you’ll be learning first hand from real experts, rather than just teachers who understand theory.

International students are guaranteed accommodation from the university. The student support staff are there to help you through the entire process from applying to allocation to moving in. Even if you’re looking for private accommodation, the university staff are there to help.

Each of the University’s three campuses has something different to offer in terms of pace of life, facilities, social life etc. However, the fact that all four University of South Wales campuses are within 30 kilometres of each other means that no matter which one you go to, you’re never too far away from the action.

Employability

Over 90% of graduates from Welsh universities find employment within 6 months of leaving. Such success in the job world may well have something to do with the fact that there’s a focus on employability and “real-world skills” at the University of South Wales, with these actually included in the curriculum of most courses.
