History
2
The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) was formed on 18 November 2010 through the merger of the University of Wales Lampeter (1822) and Trinity University College Carmarthen (1848), under Lampeter’s Royal Charter of 1828. On the 1 August 2013, Swansea Metropolitan University became part of UWTSD.
The UWTSD Group includes Coleg Sir Gâr and Coleg Ceredigion as part of a dual sector group structure comprising further education colleges and the university. The UWTSD Group has over 25,000 learners across 17 campuses in rural and city locations. Together we deliver clear, tangible benefits for learners, employers, industry and communities by offering a vocational approach from entry level to postdoctoral research. The Group will be further strengthened with the merger of University of Wales into UWTSD in due course.
Historically the University and its founding institutions have placed their degreeawarding powers in abeyance and offered degrees of the University of Wales. UWTSD began to award its own degrees in July 2014. The University’s London campus, or ‘UWTSD London’, has been operational since March 2012. It was originally located in Islington, however, in October 2013 it relocated within Kennington Park and near the Oval cricket grounds in the heart of London.
