The University of South Wales was formed through the merger of the University of Wales, Newport, and the University of Glamorgan. Its history can be traced back to 1841, and it is located in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. As a long-established public university with a focus on applied studies, it ranks as the sixth largest university in the UK. In 2019, its postgraduate programs ranked 10th out of 131 UK universities in the Whatuni Student Choice Awards. The university offers over 500 programs, covering undergraduate, master's, and top-up courses. Currently, the university has over 30,000 students enrolled, with only about 1,000 of them being Chinese students. The university has three campuses: Cardiff, Pontypridd, and Newport. It is a two-hour drive from London and a 30-minute drive from Cardiff International Airport. Cardiff, a key transportation hub in Wales, offers students convenient access to major cities in the UK and Europe via train, bus, and plane. To attract international students, the University of South Wales offers generous scholarships. After deducting the scholarships, Chinese students only need to pay around 120,000 RMB in tuition fees per year. Additionally, Wales is one of the safest regions in the UK, with the lowest crime rate, and Cardiff is known among students as the "best value for studying abroad" city, offering a high quality of life.
