University of South Wales - USW
speciality: Marketing

It was an amazing experience to study in University of south Wales
While studying I gained valuable knowledge while meeting with different parts of students to understand different cultures of the world
All the staff were very helpful and available all the time to solve students problems

Overall, the study experience is great. Lecturers across a range of subjects are clearly very strong in their fields and as such the lessons they provide allow for a real understanding of any given topic. The support outside of studying is also incredible, from well-being tp financial support.

The Fashion Promotion course allows many career opportunities in the Fashion industry. Having an insight into each section of the industry is beneficial to finding the right career path for you. The course generally covers the promotional side of the industry with insights into marketing, PR, trend forecasting, content creation and many more. This course would be ideal for someone who is looking to study Fashion but is not sure what exactly to specialise in.

The campus is modern with all of the faculties you need to study for a degree. The lecture rooms are more like college/sixth form lectures which is good if you’re looking for 1-1 conversation with the lecturers. The library has working computers and printer services with the opportunity to book out quiet study areas. Not only does the campus provide facilities for studying but there are also many areas to socialise and make friends.

Student Life is average with areas to improve. As I previously mentioned the campus has many areas to socialise and get to know people which is a positive. As the Cardiff Campus isn’t the main USW Campus, all of the societies and activities are located a train ride away in Treforest. However, there have been conversations around students proposing to start up societies in the Cardiff Campus as this is something the University lacks.

Overall, the accommodation is very modern and exactly what you’d need. There are two options for the Cardiff Campus which are located in the centre of the City opposite the campus. Similar to the University, there are areas to study in the accommodation as well as a common room to socialise. Facilities such as a laundry room and post boxes are available on site. All of the rooms are equipped with double beds, a desk and a good amount of storage with en-suites. There are options to have a studio room which includes a kitchen area rather than sharing a kitchen with 5-7 other students.
