"USW offered a unique opportunity to have an international experience in my education. I believe this will give me a competitive edge over my peers and will give me a broader perspective in my future career."

I first heard about USW at OCMC in Ontario. OCMC is a marketing competition that the top marketing students from Ontario colleges compete in. 

My lecturers are great, they’re always open for discussion and this helps my learning experience. The facilities are top notch with the addition of the new library. It’s unique to be on the Treforest campus and see the valleys each day.

The highlight of my experience is our cohort trip to Budapest, Hungary. We travelled to Budapest in order to see an Audi Manufacturing plant and also to spend some time with our peers in the course. It’s great to see first hand our theory being applied in the real world.

"I HAVE DEVELOPED A LOVE FOR WALES. THE COUNTRY IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO."

My USW Highlights

The Course

Thanks to the skills I’ve acquired and the practical approach to learning, I plan on landing a job with one of the large banks in either London or Toronto.

Life in Wales

I’ve managed to travel to the north and some of the coastlines in the west. I’m looking forward to seeing some more beaches and scenic parts of Wales this summer.

Community

Cardiff is also a great city, it’s large enough to have all the main shops you would expect but also small enough to have community. My wife and I have also found a great church to attend in Cardiff, which has made the transition much easier.
