Sort:Latest reviewsMy best experience I would say has to be the face to face learning after two years of online classes and my worst would proberly be lack of help out of the class room
The worst aspects are parking.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time studying at University of Wales Trinity Saint David on the Carmarthen campus. It has opened up a wide range of possibilities and opportunities for me, such as being appointed the Student Voice Course Representative, the BPS Student Ambassador for UWTSD, and the BPS Lead Student Ambassador for Wales. Although the university population is smaller than others in the country, there is much more one-to-one experience with lecturers, thanks to the use of small classrooms as opposed to large lecture halls. As such, the level of support from lecturers is outstanding. Moreover, although the university campus in Carmarthen has some older buildings, they have built a much more modern building where lectures are held. This is a really feel-good space for learning! Likewise, the library is a lovely space too, with a range of areas to choose from depending on whether you are doing independent work, group work, or more chilled-out activities. With regards to ‘student experience’ on the Carmarthen campus, many would expect it not to be as good as city universities, considering the more rural location. However, what I will say is the student union put their best efforts in to host a range of activities suitable for all walks of life, and the night life can be really good fun! Though, for those looking for an even more up-beat student experience, the university have campuses in Swansea, Cardiff, London, and Birmingham! Overall, I have only positive things to say about University of Wales Trinity Saint David. It was the best decision to study there, and I am forever grateful for the support, education, friends, and personal growth!
Good University to achieve your Goals with supportive lecturers and academic staff.

Best aspects - making you feel welcome and confident Worst aspects - facilities (the vending machines, the coffee machines, toilets)
The University locations was fantastic for me personally, as I did not struggle too much with attending the place . Atmosphere and lecturers wer fantastic as you got to know each one personally, each helped my journey through my course in a very enticing and respectful manner. While studying it became apparent my hunger for knowledge only increased with each term. The only improvement I would suggest is to help those lack certain areas of digital skills to become confident. My digital skills weren’t fantastic and honestly they aren’t still but if I became more knowledgeable I would not have struggled in some areas through out my work.
Good support available from both lecturers and the university More areas to sit with friends when not in lectures could be beneficial
What makes this university strong is its range of student support services as well as the picturesque setting of the campus. However, this also comes with big negatives such as feeling very cut off socially combined with a lack of student union events
The building is modern, with great views of Swansea Bay. It has communal study areas and quiet areas for studying independently. There are lounge areas and a Costa with seating inside and outside. There is also a microwave and kettle for those who wish to avoid the prices of Costa. The lecturers are friendly, knowledgeable and approachable at all times. The library is housed in its own building and is amazing. We have a large selection of books, private pods, and quiet study areas. There are also laptop lockers for students who do not have access to their own laptops, and these are on a loan basis. There are areas in the communal study area that has desktop computers for use. The psychology laboratory is an interesting place to be. There are individual rooms to conduct the research and a staff member to help if needed. There is a seating area where the participants wait. The bathroom facilities are always clean, and free sanitary products are available in all ladies' toilets. There are disabled facilities, and the buildings are all disabled-friendly.
I found the past three year of university courses very enriching through what I learned and by the support and motivation I received from the lecturers. The career service for students could still be improved, more support and guidance post degree.
The university stuff are warm and welcoming, the location of the campus is stunning with beautiful views from every window. The student support for mental health seem to be very aware and offer lots of support which I've yet to use. There are loads of opportunity's to get involved in student life and the student union offers lot's of arranged activity's. The study's flow well and as a mature student I have felt confident going back into learning. The facilities are modern and clean. The online content is fantastic with an amazing well stocked library. Its an exciting place to be and I feel proud to be apart of the uni.

The best part of studying there is it is a friendly environment. No one judges you o. How you are doing and are so helpful not only staff but your peers too. What can be improved is just the parking facilities aren't really good there.
The university can improve the campus or move to another building. However, the university has flexible teaching method. Also, most of the lecturers are highly knowledgeable and helpful. I can recommend !

I honestly think this is just a amazing university. everyone is just so helpful, the lecturers are amazing and the course is brilliant. there isn't much of a night life on campus but i am here for the course and its just brilliant.
the course is amazing. all the university wants is their students to thrive. the course has long hours but if you truly want to learn about the film industry this wont bother you. the lecturers are so kind and helpful. i love it
I like the fact that there is 24 hours security and maintenance. the rooms are big and a lot cheaper than most other universities.
