University of South Wales - Cardiff

The University of South Wales (USW) is a public university in Wales with a major urban campus in Cardiff city centre, alongside campuses in Pontypridd (Treforest) and Newport. The institution was formed in 2013 through the merger of the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport, combining a long tradition of applied and vocational higher education with modern professional and creative programmes. The Cardiff campus is strongly associated with creative industries, media, business, and related fields, and serves a diverse mix of UK and international students. USW emphasises employability, industry links, and practice-based learning across undergraduate and postgraduate study. Its Cardiff presence sits in the city centre, giving students access to cultural venues, employers, and transport links while remaining part of a multi-campus university structure that also supports research, professional training, and community engagement across South Wales.
