Reasons to Attend an Open Day
Attending an open day is one of the best ways to get a true feeling of a university and discover the things you don't get to see in a prospectus or on a website.
Here are our top 10 reasons why you should attend a university open day:
1) VISIT OUR LOCATIONS

We have campuses across three locations, in Newport, Cardiff and Pontypridd, giving our students a mix of city and country life.
2) LEARN ABOUT YOUR COURSE

Find out why USW could be the perfect choice for your higher education and how we can prepare you for a successful career.
3) EXPERIENCE STUDENT LIFE

Find out from our student ambassadors and students union what it’s like to be a USW student inside and outside of the classroom.
4) EXPLORE THE CAMPUS

Get familiar with your surroundings and imagine yourself spending the next few years of your life with us.
5) SEE OUR FACILITIES

You’ll soon notice that our teaching spaces are more than your traditional classroom. They are a place to develop your skills, nurture your talent and put theory into practice.
6) MEET YOUR LECTURERS

Be introduced to our teaching staff, ask questions, and get to know the people who will support you throughout your time at university.
7) VIEW OUR ACCOMMODATION

We will talk you through your accommodation options and show you around the rooms to help you make the right choice based on your needs and budget.
8) UNDERSTAND STUDENT FINANCE

You’ll get to ask our student money team your questions, find out about the cost of studying and learn what funding options are available.
