*Undergraduate students and students studying on a course of more than one year in length should be aware that these are the current course fees for the first year. We may revise these tuition fees annually and in subsequent academic years as you progress in your studies. Any increase to your tuition fee will be in line with the reasons set out in our international admissions terms and conditions, for example an increase in line with inflation. We will always communicate such changes with you in good time prior to each academic year to inform you about any changes to tuition fees.

The University of South Wales is fully committed to the safety and security of those residing in Afghanistan or Syria and surrounding countries. Following government advice, we believe that self-funded prospective applicants currently residing in Afghanistan, Syria and surrounding countries would likely face serious security risk, and financial and logistical implications.
We have therefore made the difficult decision to withdraw any Afghan or Syrian applications until further notice. We appreciate this decision is disappointing, and it is one that we will review ahead of the 2025/2026 academic year.
