The University is part of the UWTSD Group, a confederation of several institutions which includes Coleg Sir Gâr and Coleg Ceredigion as constituent colleges. August 2017 saw the integration of the University of Wales and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. The UWTSD Group offers a continuum from further to higher education for the benefit of learners, employers and communities.
In 2023, the University of Wales Technical Institutes (UWTI) was launched with Coleg Sir Gâr, Coleg Ceredigion as well as FE partners Cardiff and Vale College, NPTC Group of Colleges and Pembrokeshire College to develop higher technical education and employer-led training and innovation. Working within a confederal structure, UWTI is informed by the needs of employers and aims to promote equality of opportunity and encourage participation in tertiary education.
The University’s history began in 1822 with the founding of our Lampeter campus. It enjoys the accolade of being the birthplace of higher education in Wales. The University’s 1828 Royal Charter is the oldest of any university in Wales.
Today, UWTSD is a dynamic institution with campuses Swansea, Carmarthen, Lampeter, Cardiff, London, and Birmingham.
