This is a home away from my home. This is the place where I discovered myself. I found my true self. The location makes it the best place to study. Especially for studying Environmental Science, this is the perfect place. Mountains, oceans, coal mining areas, recycling centres, evidence of glaciers, the proof of climate change and sea level rise, endangered species, all are present here in Wales. This uni has great lab facilities and the qualified friendliest lecturers. It would be a better place if they focus on the Natural Science subjects. Graduates from this university are doing really great everywhere. If they improve the laboratories, student will gain more real life skills beside their field knowledge. They can be more qualified than other university graduates because the whole team behind them are already very strong.
The bad things which can be improved are the steps to get to the actual classrooms and no microwave to use in stilts. What makes it a great place is the variety of excellent lecturers and a welcoming environment:)
It’s amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better place to study
so far so good😍
I had an amazing experience at USW. Lectures are very supportive and all the modules are up to date. The campus facilities were amazing, and the diverse student body made for a vibrant learning environment
Staff members are very supportive.
Not much to do
The environment is pretty amazing and teachers are really friendly!
By investing in new technology and putting students resources first even though they can be costly.
University of south wales is renowned for its academic excellence, world-class faculty, and robust research programs . This university is providing students with ample opportunities for internships and career advancement. The university is also known for its beautiful campus and strong sense of community, which contribute to a positive learning environment. The teachers are really helpful and the study curriculum is nicely arranged.

The great thing about my university according to me is the facilities and very good lecturers. One thing the university can improve is to make my campus a little more creative, because Cardiff Campus is the Creative campus but visually it doesn’t appeal as creative.
Being a first year student, the experience has been amazing so far. All the lecturers and other staff are very kind and helpful which makes it easier for everyone to adjust to the new environment. I haven't had any worst experiences, and have been enjoying my time in uni.
The support from lecturers and the wellbeing service is unmatched and really helps during the course of the academic year. I think there could be improvement surrounding the societies available and the social aspect of uni
Law lecturers are amazing, namely Hannah Coburn, always goes above and beyond. However social life at the uni isn’t the best and could be improved by more events. Location of the uni is fairly rural compared to city unis but this can also be a positive.
Best aspect is getting to meet lots of industry professionals from the music industry on a regular basis, working together with staff on various projects and the choice of doing what feels right for me. Would like to have SU more involved with monthly events as well as put on events curated for students.
The lectures are pillars for students and they make sure everyone deserve to get best grade and they support and guide us to focus on our study


Amazing lectures and brilliant uni. Amazing for disability support for disabled students!
Online / in class - very flexible . Could do with an online course hours lots of time in contact with lecturers
