Widening Participation
The University of South Wales is committed to supporting underrepresented groups of any age, background or ethnic group and ensuring they are given a fair and equal opportunity to study in a supported manner.
Within the UK Student Recruitment Team, there is a team of staff who support and deliver a range of activities for students who are currently underrepresented in higher education. Please get in touch with the relevant team member below to find out how USW could support you and the groups that you work with to access higher education.
We also provide information and support to teachers and careers advisers to help prepare students for higher education. If you think you and/or your students could benefit from our support, please contact us.

Scholarships and Bursaries
You may be entitled to additional support through USW's scholarships and bursaries. How much you receive, who can receive it and how it is paid will vary depending on the scholarship or bursary, but the money doesn't usually have to be paid back (unless you decide to leave the course early).
