Welcome to the University

Welcome to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, a new university created through the merger of the two oldest higher education institutions in Wales - the University of Wales Lampeter and Trinity University College Carmarthen.

The creation of a new university is an exciting challenge and presents an opportunity to build upon the excellent contribution that those institutions made to the nation over three centuries.

We are proud of our heritage but we also look to our future by creating a radical new model for education linking to further education colleges and schools to create greater opportunities for participation and access across south-west Wales.

The University has secured a multimillion pound government investment which is being reinvested to provide an environment befitting twenty-first century learning, teaching and scholarship.

Both of our campuses, Carmarthen and Lampeter, offer an enriching environment with everything that our students need for their academic and personal development.

We also offer a range of programmes for students who study at our partner institutions and make every effort to ensure the quality of the experience for all of our students.

We acknowledge that you are making a considerable investment in your future. It is a decision that we take seriously, and will make every effort to ensure that your experience as a student here will help you to develop your potential to the full.

We will provide you with sound academic knowledge, but we also believe that the rich diversity of cultural and social experiences you will have as a student here will help you to develop a range of personal and professional qualities - these are both equally important considerations when choosing a university or college.

I look forward to welcoming you if you do decide to become a student at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
