You can expect a warm welcome to their campuses in and around Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. USW has over 100 partnerships with professional bodies and businesses and their focus is on equipping students with the skills and crucial experience needed to secure employment - 95% of USW graduates are in employment or further study within six months of graduating. 

Sustainability at South Wales

The University of South Wales has an ambitious goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.

USW is dedicated to driving positive and sustainable change across the University and building sustainability into everything they do. USW says: "We want to lead, inspire and collaborate with our staff, students and local communities to collectively embrace a sustainable culture that benefits us all and minimises our impact on the environment."

USW recognises the responsibility for ensuring we deliver sustainability across our teaching, research and operations and this is reflected in our corporate strategy: Our Strategy | USW 2030.

The Environment and Sustainability policy and 2020-2030 Net Zero Carbon Strategy shape USW's actions and approach to embedding sustainability into the day to day activities and drive continual improvement in environmental performance in a structured way.
