The University of South Wales has done a remarkable job ensuring my comfort with both academic courses and student welfare programs. It’s an excellent choice for students pursuing their desired courses. The lecture timings are convenient, allowing for a balanced schedule. The teaching staff are always approachable, engaging both during and after lectures, and are consistently encouraging students to seek their guidance.

History (ba) is a programme I believe to be very undercooked at USW. Despite the rocky start to my first year of university (all covid reasons), lecturers did the best they could and worked with what they had to make online learning applicable to everyone.

Throughout my second year, we have been prepped thoroughly around our dissertation, having an entire module dedicated to this. This has given us the opportunity to think about what’s ahead, perhaps at a time when we wouldn’t have thought it was important at all. These opportunities, as well as placement and thinking about our future careers, have been hugely beneficial. Not many courses have such practical futures, and simply just from my compulsory modules this year I feel a lot more confident when it comes to moving forward from the undergraduate study!
