The University of South Wales (Welsh : Prifysgol De Cymru) is a public university in Wales, with campuses in Cardiff, Newport and Pontypridd. It was formed on 11 April 2013 from the merger of the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport. [5] The university is the second largest university in Wales in terms of its student numbers, and offers around 500 undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The university has three main faculties across its campuses in South Wales.

History

The university can trace its roots to the founding of the Newport Mechanics' Institute in 1841. The Newport Mechanics' Institute later become the University of Wales, Newport. In 1913 the South Wales and Monmouthshire School of Mines was formed. [6] The school of mines was later to become the Polytechnic of Wales, before gaining the status of University of Glamorgan in 1992. The name for the new merged university was chosen following a research exercise amongst interested parties and announced in December 2012 by the prospective vice-chancellor of the university, Julie Lydon, [7] who retired in 2021. [8]

In 2020 the university entered a strategic alliance with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David through a deed of association. A joint statement said that the two universities would be "working together on a national mission to strengthen Wales’ innovation capacity, supporting economic regeneration and the renewal of its communities", while retaining their autonomy and distinct identities. [9] [10]

A data breach in 2019 impacted 30,000 students causing the student record system to be taken offline. [11] [12]

Notable dates

Student numbers

At formation it was reported that the university had more than 33,500 students from 122 countries and was then the sixth largest in the United Kingdom and the largest in Wales. [13] [14] [15] [ full citation needed ] Following the decline in student numbers reported by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) over the years since the formation of the university, for the academic year 2022/23 the university was the 36th largest in the UK and the second largest in Wales when measured by the numbers of students enrolled.

Associated organisations

The university has a band of 106 partner colleges, universities, FE institutions or organisations, who deliver University of South Wales's higher education programmes or access courses in the UK and 18 other countries. [16]

Faculties

The university has three faculties [17] spread over its campuses in South East Wales.

Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science

Faculty of Business & Creative Industries

Faculty of Life Sciences and Education

The university has a film school, animation facilities, broadcasting studios, a photography school, poets, scriptwriters and authors as well as the national music and drama conservatoire, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, as a wholly owned subsidiary.

Campuses

The university has three main campuses located in South Wales:

Cardiff

The Faculty of Business & Creative Industries is based at the Cardiff Campus. The Atrium Building is the only building at the campus, originally opened by the University of Glamorgan in 2007 the building was extended at a cost of £14.7 million [18] to replace the Caerleon campus. The building re-opened during September 2016. The campus also included the Atlantic House building, which was closed due to declining student numbers.[ citation needed ]

Newport

The university's newest campus is the £40 million campus on the west bank of the River Usk in Newport city centre. The 'City Campus' was built for the University of Wales, Newport and was opened in 2011 by Sir Terry Matthews. [19] Originally built to house a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses for the Newport Business School, Newport Film School and the university's art and design department, it now hosts departments and courses primarily from the Faculty of Life Sciences and Education, including teaching, social work and youth work as well as some courses in business together with the National Cyber Security Academy.[ citation needed ]

Pontypridd

This was formerly the main campus of the University of Glamorgan. Currently the university's largest campus, with a range of facilities, including an indoor sports centre and students' union. The campus is located in three parts:[ citation needed ]

  1. Treforest: School of Engineering, School of Computing and Mathematics and the South Wales Business School. Graduate school, main library and administrative departments
  2. Glyntaff: Nursing and science departments. Divided into Lower Glyntaff, where nursing is focused, and Upper Glyntaff where Applied Sciences is based. The Alfred Russel Wallace building, named after the Welsh naturalist, is an impressive example of South Wales architecture, having been an Edwardian boys' grammar school and built in typical dramatic style.
  3. Sport Park: in the Treforest Industrial Estate, the location of several teaching spaces and facilities for sports courses.

Former campuses

Caerleon

Caerleon is located on the northern outskirts of Newport. Formerly the second largest campus, it hosted a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including education, sports, history, fashion design, art and photography. The campus had extensive sports facilities, library, students' union shop and a students' union bar. It was formerly the main campus of the University of Wales, Newport. In 2014, it was announced by the University of South Wales that the Caerleon campus would close in 2016. [20] The university cited the need to invest around £20 million to improve and upgrade facilities as the primary reason for its closure. [21] The university relocated courses to the Newport City campus and the Cardiff Campus where it invested £14.7 million [18] to extend and upgrade the Atrium building. The campus opened during 1914 and closed for the last time on 31 July 2016, after 102 years.

The university sold the campus for £6.2 million to Redrow [22] for housing development despite the strong opposition to the planned re-development from local residents. [23] The Caerleon Civic Society asked Cadw, the body that looks after historic monuments and buildings in Wales, to give the Edwardian main building Grade II Listed building status to save it from demolition. [24] On 7 August 2016 the Welsh Government announced that they would recommend that the main building, gatehouses and gate-piers be listed as 'buildings of special architectural and historic interest'. The University of South Wales expressed their continued opposition to the proposed listing but the announcement was welcomed by local politicians and the Caerleon Civic Society. [25] Grade II listing of the Main Building, the Principal's Residence, Gate Piers and Caretaker's / Gardener's Lodge was confirmed on 3 March 2017. [26]

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

A new campus in Dubai was opened during September 2018 in Dubai South located near Al-Maktoum International Airport. The courses offered were British bachelor's degrees which include Aviation Maintenance Engineering and postgraduate courses including MSc International Logistics and Supply Chain Management. From September 2020 it was announced that the campus would not accept further applications and would close. [27] In 2018 the university was criticised by human rights campaigners when it awarded honorary doctorates to two senior figures in the UAE government, Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum and Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, at the campus' opening ceremony. [28] [29] [30]

London

In 2014, USW spent an estimated £300,000 developing a campus in the Docklands area of London, but in January 2015 cancelled the project before taking on any students. The university described this as a test of the market, but cited problems created by new UK visa regulations. [31]

Academic profile

Awards

The University of Wales, Newport received the 2013 Guardian Higher Education Award (with the University of Glamorgan) for widening participation through its Universities Heads of the Valleys Institute (UHOVI) initiative.
