BIRMINGHAM

I chose to study at UWTSD because of the wide range of facilities available, the studio space in the Surface Pattern Design department for each student, and the amount of contact tutor time students received every week.

ACCOMMODATION We have a range of different types of accommodation, all offering a safe and secure but independent ‘home away from home’ while you study. Living in residential halls puts you at the heart of student life, and students in our accommodation benefit from a wide variety of on-campus services. There are also plenty of options to find private rented accommodation if you prefer, either in privately-run student halls or in private rented accommodation. If you are planning to live away from home whilst at University, accommodation is probably top of your list of concerns. All three of our main campuses have on-site ‘halls’ or student accommodation, with many of these rooms prioritised for first-year students. 34 | University of Wales Trinity Saint David
