I am very enjoying my studies and all staffs are extremely helpful.
I found an amazing community here! Everyone is really friendly and inclusive and the coursework is actually interesting and fun to do!

My course is energy and environmental engineering, yet out of 17 modules in 3 years only 2 of them have been course specific, the rest of the course I am placed, either into mechanical or automotive engineering modules. I also have not received appropriate support or supervision for my dissertation. The content is delivered is not too heavy however, and the coursework load is easily manageable. My main issue is simply that I have not for the most part studied the subject I have taken. Otherwise the university is on par with what I imagine most of other small universities are like.

Generally, the University is commendable. However, a notable drawback is the limited on-site dining options and the have to pay for parking. The course itself is highly commendable, however, I believe that the assessment intervals should be extended to a minimum of three weeks instead of two weeks.
Uwtsd is an amazing place to start your journey it offers both support and opportunities in education and within your chosen job sector. I would recommend this campus for all those who wish to start their journey academically.

My experience so far has been really good as all the staff have been really supportive and help with get through this with my health condition and being diagnosed with tumour was the worse time for me, but staff and students have been great and pulled me through
They are very supportive Excellent communication Great skilled professional Fantastic availability
The lectures are really good and helpful, the staff IT help desk all very helpful, it's local to my home walking distance I completed my level 4 cert and now in my 2nd year of health and social its really helped to educate myself
As a mature student, I've felt consistently supported at every step. The university's high-quality standards, excellent resources, and amazing support have made it my best decision
The campus is not that big however, it’s lovely and very clean. It’s located near a park, leisure centre and many shops. The tutors teach their students well and the services are great too.
Student support isn't the best, especially around exam season in 3rd year. I studied my first year at a different university and the structure of the course as well as the teaching was a lot better than Trinity Saint David. The library facility is brilliant, although I've only looked at the Business Campus site. There is good support off teachers but when it comes to extenuating circumstances, the team isn't the quickest with their replies.
The help the university gives you in all aspect the only think to improve is bigger rooms because we are getting bigger and bigger
Best: Student support, they really listen to you and put adjustments in place to make your studies effective. Worst: Is to many restrictions but it's good in one way as they are safeguarding students welfare so I wouldn't say worst.
Tutors are very helpful and supportive. The location is very convenient. But as a mature student with kids, it’s a little struggle balancing student life and parent life. I just wish academic office extenuating circumstances form is a bit lenient when it comes to missing an exam or assessment especially when there’s an emergency that involves the kids and family. Thanks!

It is a great uni especially if u have difficulties they are very understanding and helpful


Placement it was nice people but too far from my location
The worst was when the lecturer doesn’t explain you properly what you have to do and the best when someone lecturers are listening you and understand your situation when you don’t understand something
