Welcome to Glamorgan
 Here at the University of Glamorgan we always put our students first. We offer a friendly and academically challenging environment with an excellent reputation for teaching quality, state-of-the-art study facilities and supportive staff.
With more than 21,000 students from all over the world, flexible study options and teaching excellence in more than a dozen subjects, you can study in areas from drama and music to business, computer science and engineering.
Glamorgan has 200 courses available, outstanding graduate employment rates and is investing £130 million into its facilities, so there’s no better time to study at Glamorgan!
What’s on offer?
Located in the UK, in South Wales, between the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park and Cardiff, one of Europe’s most exciting capital cities, it’s a wonderful place to live.
Glamorgan is based across three campuses: ATRiuM, a centre for creative and cultural industries, in Cardiff; and Treforest and Glyntaff, both near the busy market town of Pontypridd. Cardiff is young, lively and fun while Treforest is the traditional face of Wales – friendly people, green hills and country pubs. With its fantastic location, you can enjoy the buzz of Cardiff, the mountains of Brecon or the surfing off the Welsh coastline – it’s a great place to be a student!
Living on campus at Treforest means you can work and study in one place. Our students say they love the community atmosphere, and it’s great to be just 20 minutes from Cardiff. Exciting developments are also happening at our Pontypridd campus. This year, our health, sport and science students are studying in brand-new facilities. We also have our own on campus aircraft hangar complete with aircraft so that our aerospace students can put their skills into practise.
Our flexible teaching and learning methods mean you can tailor your course to meet your interests and career aspirations.
