The University
Trinity University College... is a vibrant community university that provides good quality degree courses within a supportive environment
The added value for students is the opportunity to develop a range of skills that will help them in their career, and to take part in many activities organised both within the University and in the local community. These factors combine to provide Trinity students with a rich and diverse experience of higher education.
Trinity offers a range of University of Wales degree programmes. Established in 1848 as a Church College, Trinity has developed an excellent reputation in the areas of education and humanities, the creative, cultural and performing arts, as well as social inclusion, business and IT, and courses related to health and well-being. At the end of 2008 the Privy Council approved Trinity’s application for taught degree awarding powers and in February 2009 the Council confirmed that Trinity could change its name to Trinity University College. This is a major development in the College’s long history and its award was based on a wide range of factors including academic standards and the management of academic quality.
Trinity is a campus-based university which means that teaching facilities, information and library services, accommodation, student services and the Students’ Union are all on one campus, making it a safe and welcoming environment for students, staff and visitors. Sweeping lawns and landscaped areas form a picturesque setting for the mix of Victorian and modern buildings.
Future developments will include a Centre for Inclusive Living, linked to the University’s bilingual provision in Education and Social Inclusion, and a Centre for Early Years Education, in collaboration with Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin, the Welsh medium Nursery Schools’ Association, both of which will be built alongside Y Llwyfan, the University’s Cultural Innovation Centre, on land adjacent to the campus.
