USW is getting ready for students to join it in September, in line with Welsh Government guidance. Students have been on campus recently, and USW is preparing to offer more high-quality learning and social experiences, including hands-on and practical learning and access to specialist facilities. But students have also said how they’ve benefitted from the convenience of virtual lectures, so USW is exploring how to keep some of this in place. For details, support and more, visit the university’s website.
