Teaching and support is excellent
Everything that is requested by students is taken in to account, and the tutors do their best to accomodate. Many individuals on my course have young children, so struggle to attend classes by 9am, especially with the current covid restrictions with breakfast clubs closed in certain areas. This was pointed out and now our on campus classes start at 9.30. Lecturers show the upmost support to us all. One lecturer in particular has been amaing with me, keeping me calm when I have been very stressed and being so helpful throughout the course. Our on campus sessions have tasks to provide us with skills to help with our assignments. Being taught how to effectively search for specific topic papers is so helpful, which can be used across all subjects, especially as I find it easy to go off topic. UWTSD has many food outlets, Costa having one of the happiest guys ever always waiting to serve you. He honestly makes my day with his genuine happiness, no matter when you pass him. Even though the on campus nursery has shut down during covid, there is a fantastic nursery across the road from the uni ( Liliwenfach), and being a ten minute walk from the town centre, the uni is easily accessible to all.
I don't feel like I am a student due to only being on campus one day a week. Being left to do my own research and learn my self hasn't given me a feeling of being a student. I am someone who lacks a lot of confidence and never like to ask for help. Other than that lecturers are lovely and i understand what is happening on the day.

There is nothing bad, the lecturers are all great and I always feel supported. Love the homely feel of the campus and have made some lovely friends.

Fantastic Lecturers, always just an email away and respond very quickly. Always someone to help! Facilities are generally brilliant! Great food and affordable. Always clean and hygienic facilities. Student union are always putting on events and offer support! Overall a great uni!
I am a good problem solver . I understood very well how I can apply to the current workplace the modules learned thanks to the well-trained teachers with explanations for all the questions to which I wanted an answer. Congratulations to the teachers for their experience and patience to explain to all students.

10/10, loves everything about it so far! Everyone within the university is friendly, and all staff are on hand to help with anything! 100% would recommend to anyone looking to come to university!
Very good resources are easy to access. Lecturers are really helpful. Lectures have helpful and relevant information. Not much parking. Toilets aren’t clean.
I’ve enjoyed my experience so far. It has been interesting to learn about different things and apply them to assignments. I feel this course teaches very practical skills.
Very good, it is very helpful and we get a lot of support with our course. Our lecturers are very helpful friendly and reassuring, they make you feel relaxed and as if you can do anything you out your mind to,
I’ve had an enjoyable time, and I’ve been able to experience different people, tasks and learn new things everyday. I’ve been able to apply the knowledge not only to my assignments, but also to my day to day life.
Great support from staff and lecturers throughout the course, and the course is and has been great and very interesting, and meets exactly what I expected it to be so far.
As a mature student I was terrified and so nervous about starting. I have to say that everyone was so welcoming and supportive. They really can’t do enough for me with IT linking all my devices to WiFi, the student services helped with my loan and getting extra support with childcare which with out I wouldn’t be able to attend. The experience so far has been incredible and can’t wait for the next three years to unfold.

Such a great campus and easy access to the main things that you need. A friendly approach within the university in shops and the library. The lecturers are lovely and are always a message away for when you need some extra help and guidance. After this degree I am going to go on to do my teaching degree in the same university because I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of it and it is something that I can not fault in any part. They have discovered in a test that I was slightly dyslexic in my first year and knowing this was very helpful as I have extra help and support to help me in writing assignments and it is something that I am slowly learning different strategies to overcome this. The university within itself has given me more confidence and more self belief in believing in myself that anything is possible if you put the work in.
Our lectures are taught part-time until the 4th year and due to Covid it has been online lecturers which I feel like it was more convenient for me and in my workplace. I feel that I have been given more help and support being online and the theory of just a message away and it is no bother at all for my lecturers to help me when they need to.
