UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH WALES
The University of South Wales focuses on creating a positive and collaborative culture for students to join and focus on real-world problems and challenges. Their practical and applied approach to study means students can make a difference in practice, not just on paper.
Employability is at the heart of everything USW does. They seek to ensure that students will be ready to start a successful career after graduating from university. They have made employability part of the curriculum, with teaching informed by what happens in the real world and what skills students will need for the workplace. All of our Pathway courses are delivered at our Pontypridd Campus.
