About Us

Carmarthen Campus The University of Wales Trinity Saint David is Wales’ newest university. However we have a long history as our constituent colleges were founded in 1822 (University of Wales Lampeter) and 1848 (Trinity University College).

We are a small, welcoming community of students and faculty. We offer a study abroad, undergraduate and graduate programmes, specialising in the areas of education, the humanities, creative, cultural and performing arts, as well as business, IT, social inclusion and health.

The University is located on two campuses in South West Wales. Both campuses offer an ideal place to study and to live when you are away from home. Having teaching facilities, information and library services, accommodation and Students’ Union on one site makes it a safe and welcoming environment for students. The cost of living in the area is low so your money goes further.

All our students receive individual attention from academic staff; much teaching is done in small groups and staff members are very approachable. The University offers a complete support and welfare service for international students, including support and assistance with academic or personal concerns. We also offer additional English language and study skills programmes tailored to your individual needs, both before and during your degree programme.

Sports Centre, Carmarthen Campus Facilities on both campuses are excellent: there are learning resource centres, computing labs, Wi-Fi networks, sport facilities and a Students’ Union in each location. On the Carmarthen campus, there is also a fully equipped theatre, dance studio, theatre studio, broadcast suite, concert hall and media suite on campus. The Lampeter campus also offers excellent media facilities with a TV and radio studio, subtitling and digital editing suites, archaeology laboratories, as well as the Roderic Bowen Library and Archives, a unique collection of more than 30 000 volumes printed between 1470 and 1850 as well as eight medieval and 100 post-medieval manuscripts.

“Everyone is so nice and welcoming and this has meant the most to me. The Students’ Union is great! It’s nice to have a place right on campus where students can go to and hang out.”
