Sort:Latest reviewsThe university is quite diverse and inclusive. The general atmosphere is one that is quite welcoming as well. However it is hard to get around the Trefroest campus due to the hills and stairs, but it does make for a good workout!
University of South Wales is fabulous area to build a good future. The facilities which are provided by the university is so helpful, like we are able just any kind of help from students support and so on. I do live on University accomodation and the facilities which are provided over there is marvelous, they do provide a student hub which we do love alot.
University of South Wales is the best place to obtain knowledge and improve a student's life. The university atmosphere is so good that it facilitates the wholistic growth of a student in the University. It would be nice if the students have a easy and fast way yo reach to the top of the accommodation, but overall this a beautiful and nice university.
Studying at the University of South Wales for my degree in logistics, procurement, and supply chain management offers a comprehensive and specialized learning environment that could be a key factor in my affection for the program!. The university is likely to provide a curriculum that covers a broad range of relevant topics, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the field. Experienced faculty members contribute valuable insights, and the university's industry connections could offer unique opportunities for networking and internships. The emphasis on practical application within the logistics and supply chain industry might enhance me and my classmates learning experience, giving us the skills and knowledge needed for real-world success in our chosen field. Overall, the combination of a tailored curriculum, knowledgeable instructors, industry engagement, and practical experiences could make your educational journey at the University of South Wales particularly fulfilling. There is nothing much to improve to be honest, but if there must be one, it would be to add in-house clinic for students especially the international students. Thank you.
Good vibe
One thing i would look to improve are the extracurricular society’s and clubs, the only ones i can find that are still active are the ones meant for international students, which is good that they are running, however the history society i know hasn’t had any activity that i can see besides an old facebook thread from the pre pandemic era
The lecturers are very nice and helpful as well. But the location of the campus in treforest is a bit inconvenient for students living in halls due to the steep hills.
Academic support is very good overall at this university especially on my course. Instructors are always willing to give advice where they're able to. Instructors are knowledgeable and engaging and overall they mark fairly. The campus is small but has everything a student could need. A small campus in my opinion is a benefit of attending this university. The university could improve its administrative support. Often administrative support is slow, and I/students need to follow up multiple times for issues or concerns. There also is lack of communication or sharing of information between departments. When going through the advice zone the information isn't always accurate; this past August caused an issue with incorrect advice given and registration for the course which led to extra administrative steps required and my loan being delayed further as I couldn't register. The jisc studygoal app used by ISW to monitor student engagement, and importantly international student attendance is remarkably inconsistent and causes multiple issues for students with incorrect information claiming lack of engagement. This ultimately threatens international student visas and causes undue mental stress that students do not need.
One of the best Universities in the UK for engineering.
The best thing about the university is, the staff and lecturers are very helpful and the worst part is, it is a bit far from facilities like supermarket, cinema ,and not much entertainments around the campus
In my opinion, my university has everything a student can ask for. We have an excellent library, fitness centre, gaming room, good cafeteria etc…
When I first saw the University of South Wales, I felt very comfortable. Excellent location and University campus and facilities are also great. When we first met with staff they treat very well.
The location and the view makes it a great environment of study. Also for the International students, you can find so many diversities just in one classroom. That's a great thing to gather knowledge except for the bookish knowledge.
The best the facilities, the worst the lack of support
The best part of my uni experience is the wide varities of societies. It's just a great way tp get connected and meet so many new people and make friends.
My best highlights about my university is the library. The worst aspect would be the security is poor.
it’s good because the buildings are so close with both glyntaff and trefforest campus but it’s a nightmare with it being online woukd so much rather it be in person
Great lecturers, great facilities, eclipse is the way to go, pub quiz on Thursday. Only down side is climbing the hill yo go back up to accom

The uni has great facilities but they don’t have enough equipment for everyone in the uni, we have a massive lack of drawing tablets and pens for them, it took me to my second year to even be able to get access to a pen meaning I was doing my work on personal equipment that wasn’t good enough. The location of the university campus that I’m on is great as it’s in the heart of Cardiff but there are very little social events held by the uni or student union in our campus since it is not the main one, so I can’t partake in clubs or social events because there is a lack of them at our campus. The teaching we’ve been getting is amazing and definitely the best part of the university, the course is screen skills accredited and really gives me the confidence that I’ll be ready for the work place when I graduate
4.1
Interesting experience on campus is everyone you meet on campus is willing to help each other regardless of color . Lecturers give their best in delivering lectures . You’d learn grow , mentally and physically attending usw. Lecture room seems a bit easy to locate … plenary sessions holds which is an advantage for students that needs assistance. Worst aspect is the hills up to the hostel .. The fact that the only one way to get up to your room as a student is to climb even if you use crunches or have a bad knee. Arrangements should be made for easy acess. Also no African food on campus , in the restaurant . I think there should be a day for African food on the menu to avoid getting bored of food on campus. To add to it . Usw creates welcoming atmosphere, the ambiance is calm and lovely, and I enjoy being a student of the school..
Nothing for now
