Welcome

Welcome to the University of South Wales. We have three vibrant campuses in and around the capital city of Wales; Cardiff. Across our campuses, we offer more than 580 degrees in many subject areas from Foundation Year to PhD level.

At USW, employability is at the heart of everything we do

We seek to ensure students will be ready to start a successful career as soon as they graduate. We’ve even made employability part of the curriculum, with teaching informed by what happens in the real world, to equip students with the skills they will need for the workplace. Most of our undergraduate degrees are accredited by professional bodies and 95% of our graduates are in employment or further study within six months of graduation (DLHE 2018).

Your home away from home

You'll feel right at home as soon as you join us at USW, through our international welcome week and Students' Union societies like the Language Exchange Club.
