WHERE HIGHER EDUCATION IN WALES BEGAN THE UNIVERSITY LOOKS FORWARD TO CELEBRATING 200 YEARS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN WALES IN 2022 AND ITS ROLE IN SHAPING A NATION. The bicentenary celebrations will commemorate the establishment of St David’s College, Lampeter in 1822 and mark its place as the birthplace of higher education in Wales. The University’s Royal Charter of 1828 is the oldest in Wales and England after Oxford and Cambridge. The bicentenary celebrations will provide us with the
opportunity to celebrate the successes and achievements of UWTSD and its founding institutions over the past two centuries. Our presence in Lampeter, Carmarthen, Swansea and Cardiff allow us to have a significant impact on our communities in Wales and further afield. We take great pride in our history and our connection to it, particularly as it has provided us with the determination and confidence to shape our own future for generations to come. 2022 will provide us with the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our staff, students and graduates through the Arts, Education, Humanities, Science and Technology.

hello
Our student-led activities are the hub of student life, encompassing entertainment, sports clubs, societies and volunteering projects. We give you a space to make friends.

We support students to be course representatives and make improvements.
Once a year, students elect officers to work full-time at TSDSU. These officers lead the long-term direction of the SU, making sure we’re tackling the biggest issues for our students – funding, cost of living, teaching quality and so on – across several years. You can have your say by electing your representatives and contributing to TSDSU’s student council.

I fell in love with the scenery and the size of the place almost instantly. I'm not a fan of big crowds so the size of the campus was perfect for me. My time here has been amazing and I've learnt so much. I've had so many opportunities as part of my course, from being able to look at medieval manuscripts in our archives within the first couple of weeks of starting my degree, to really specialised archaeology modules and fieldwork. My modules would not be as brilliant as they are without the excellent academic staff who will always help you if you are stuck. They have an open door policy, which means if the office door is open, you can go and see them with whatever issues you may have, whether it be academic or personal. I've thoughly enjoyed my time at Lampeter, so much so that I am likely to continue studying here as a postgraduate.

MONEY MATTERS At university you can choose to learn a subject you love, earn a qualification that will lead you to your chosen career, broaden your outlook and open doors to many jobs that require applicants to have a degree. It’s an investment in your future.
HOW MUCH WILL MY COURSE COST? The fees at UWTSD for fulltime UK/EU students are currently £9,000 per year for our undergraduate courses.
SO HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? You will have two main types of expenses - fees and living costs. There is help available from the government to support you with both. The amount you receive will depend on your family income and where you study. For example, since September 2018 all eligible students residing in Wales starting a university course have received support for living costs, made up of a mixture of grants and loans. Most receive support equivalent to the National Living Wage. For students with a relatively low household income, most of the available support for living costs will be a grant. Most students pay nothing up front and won’t have to pay the money back until they earn over £25,725 a year as a graduate. Find details relevant to where you live through the links on our website.

FINDING THE RIGHT COURSE WHAT CAN YOU DO TO FIND THE RIGHT COURSE FOR YOU?

Find out exactly what the course involves. Do you have a career in mind? How will your course help you get there? Find out more about what the University offers beyond the course that supports your goals. How long is the course? Do you need it to work around a job, family or other commitments? Exams. Some courses don't have them. What kind of assessment would be best for you?
Study abroad options give you the chance to get the best of both worlds. Would you like to have a semester overseas? Placements can be an important part of a course. Do you want to get a taste of working in your chosen field? How large are the class sizes? Consider the level of attention and support you want or need. What qualifications are required? Maybe your experience can get you on your chosen course. What transferable skills will you develop? Will your course prepare you to learn more?
University is your time to explore, learn more and develop your knowledge and skills. What do you want to get out of your study experience?

I’m very proud to have studied at UWTSD Cardiff – it gave me the opportunity to grow and develop as a performer and to find my own voice. I’d always sung and I’d had experience of singing before but it gave me the confidence and it taught me so much about myself. It taught me how to channel my nerves. I don’t think I would ever have gone for the X Factor, if it hadn’t been for all the hard work and effort that the lecturers put into this course.

Live it, breathe it and engineer it! I love engineering – I have always been passionate about cars, taking them apart to see how they work. I am from Spain but picked UWTSD because I did my research and it was the best University in the UK for Automotive Engineering.

Using the CISCO hardware is unique to this University, enabling us to gain skills required for industry, for example, solving the problems that occur while using the actual hardware that you wouldn't experience if you were just using CISCO Packet Tracer (simulation). I would recommend the course because the staff are friendly and supportive and the skills learned are current now and into the future.
