The University of South Wales is one of the largest universities in the UK, offering our students excellent opportunities and prospects. A course at USW is more than just a qualification. Inside and outside the classroom, we help you achieve your potential professionally and personally. At the University of South Wales we always put our students first.

We offer a friendly and academically challenging environment with an excellent reputation for teaching quality, state-of-the-art study facilities and supportive staff. We have hundreds of courses available, outstanding graduate employment rates and we've invested over £160 million into our facilities.

As a USW student, you’ll be using the same technology and equipment that is used in industry, from a full-size Jetstream 31 airliner and Merlin MP521 engineering flight simulator, to TV studios to crime scene houses and healthcare suites. You learn by doing, which means that you will be more prepared for the world of work.

The University is based in South Wales, UK with campuses in Cardiff, Newport and Pontypridd. Wales is a country in its own right, but is a part of the UK. South Wales has a vibrant city life, culture, nightlife, music festivals, award-winning beaches, outdoor adventure, history and breath-taking countryside. It is a safe, affordable and welcoming place to study. Our students love the friendly atmosphere at the University of South Wales. All our campuses are easily reached by road, rail and air.
