University of South Wales

University of South Wales – Wales

The University of South Wales (USW) is one of Wales’ leading educational institutions and is home to a large and vibrant student community of over 30,000 students. Of these, 3,500 are international students from 120 different countries. With three main campuses in Cardiff (the capital), Pontypridd and Newport, USW offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The university places great emphasis on practical education. Its award-winning sports park, a unique business clinic that serves the business world directly, and a renowned film school are examples of this approach. Furthermore, thanks to programmes run in close collaboration with the industry across many departments, students are prepared for working life before they graduate.

USW is recognised for its research in areas such as sustainable energy solutions and low-carbon power systems; it carries out collaborative projects with major companies in the automotive industry. Whilst the university’s acceptance rate is as low as 20 per cent, 95 per cent of its graduates find employment or go on to further study within six months of graduation.

With its friendly and supportive learning environment, career-preparatory work placement opportunities and strong international links, USW is an attractive option for students seeking high-quality and accessible education in Wales.
