Best: friends I made on my course Worst: student union
Best: tutors and course engagment Worst: pace and performance.
Love how open and light the building is and how lovely the teachers are. This uni unfortunately doesn't have a large amount of clubs to join making it hard to meet people outside of your class
It’s good if you want to a do a creative course but it’s not good for anything else
The best is there is something for everyone and the worse is not having a balance of lectures and studying outside of uni
This uni is extremely student oriented and focused. I am a strident rep for my course and whenever we bring up issues at the meetings they are always listened to and dealt with. It’s so easy to speak to a lecturer if you need help. The wellbeing team are fantastic and always on hand. Job opportunities and help with anything to do with employment is easily available. Library is fantastic and I love that the online library has everything I need as I commute from Hereford to the Pontypridd campus, so I never miss out on books or information I need for my assignments. The Pontypridd campus is very accessible by public transport also which is a must for students. The only thing id change is if you do drive a bigger carpark. Sometimes it’s hard to get a parking space. But the cost of parking is super cheap. I’m in my 2nd year and looking forward to dissertation next year which we have had lots of help and support with already. Overall this is a fantastic university.
Very good option as a place for creatives to develop and broaden their horizons The Student Union bar is a bit expensive compared to other local options and more often than not the accessible doors are not working
The University of South Wales could improve by enhancing student support services, expanding industry partnerships for better job placements, and investing in more modern facilities. Strengthening mental health resources, increasing funding for research opportunities, and offering more flexible learning options—such as hybrid and online courses—would also greatly benefit students. Additionally, fostering a stronger campus community through more social events and extracurricular activities could make student life more engaging and fulfilling.The University of South Wales could improve by enhancing student support services, expanding industry partnerships for better job placements, and investing in more modern facilities.

This University is great for me as a mature student located at Glyntaff Campus, However, this does not provide a conventional student experience. The Campus is small, which is perfect for me. You will get to know your peers and lecturers very well and feel part of a community. There's no Students' Union on site, however, Treforest Campus does, which is about a 20 minute walk away (I have never used this). Facilities are great for my course. There is a simulation suite, which is basically a fully equipped hospital - great for learning.
Friends and courses Worst is location of campus
