A Town with a Rich Heritage

Ponty; the gateway to the Rhondda Valleys and home to singers, poets, and industry. From coal mining to the birthplace of the Welsh National Anthem, you’re never far from some proper Welsh history and culture.

Cities, Mountains, and Beaches all in easy reach

Head in one direction and you'll be walking along a glorious beach. Head in another and you'll be climbing a historic mountain. Studying at USW is a great way to explore some of South Wales' biggest cities.
