Blue Light Simulations

It’s the stuff of nightmares, but, for professionals dealing with the aftermath of a major road accident, it’s an all-too-regular part of everyday life.

Knowing what to do after such an event can be the difference between life and death.

That’s why the School of Care Sciences hold Blue Light Exercises at its Glyntaff Campus so student nurses can work together with other emergency service personnel to manage the aftermath of a mock-up road accident.

Experience South Wales

The places you study and live make a big difference to what you get out of university. It’s important to be somewhere that feels like home, but can also surprise you. South Wales offers rich experiences, with Cardiff at the heart.

With campuses in and around Cardiff, you can experience the diversity that south Wales has to offer – the buzz of the cities, the beauty of the coast, and the calm of the countryside. 

We have five campuses across three locations, but we’re one university. Every campus is open to you and whatever inspires you, you’re always welcome.
