Carmarthen Campus
The Carmarthen Campus is located on the outskirts of the town, the reputed birthplace of Merlin of Arthurian legend and the commercial centre for a large and thriving county.
Carmarthen is a busy town with a good mix of traditional and modern shops, excellent leisure facilities and nightlife.
A major new retail development has brought big name stores, dining and leisure facilities into the town centre including Wales’ first purpose-built digital cinema with six 3D screens. The town is served by major road and rail networks and is within easy reach of London airports and Cardiff International Airport.
Students from Ireland can choose from a number of ferry services running between Rosslare and Fishguard/Pembroke Dock; Dublin and Holyhead; and Swansea and Cork.
About the Campus
The original 1848 building lies at the heart of the Carmarthen campus. It was originally known as South Wales and Monmouthshire Training College and was established to train teachers for church schools in England and Wales. It later became known as Trinity College and subsequently Trinity University College before joining forces with the University of Wales Lampeter to create the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
Sweeping lawns and landscaped areas form a picturesque setting for the mix of Victorian and modern buildings. The campus boasts a range of facilities including a well-stocked library and excellent learning and teaching spaces, a fully-equipped theatre and workshops, media and music suites as well as IT facilities which include newly refurbished open access areas and rooms for students to complete group work.
Sports facilities include the Sports Centre with a Health and Fitness Suite, swimming pool, a multi-purpose dance studio. Students Services and Students’ Union are both located in their own buildings on the campus enabling students to access their facilities and services easily. Student accommodation includes catered and self-catering halls which are located on the campus.
Our programmes in Art and Design are offered jointly with Coleg Sir Gâr. The combined strength of the academic and professional expertise provided as well as the dedicated facilities, including studios, exhibition spaces, and workshops, enable our students to develop their creative talents and hone their technical skills in an environment conducive to their needs.
In addition, the University’s shop stocks specialist art, design and craft supplies as well as a range of stationery and other goods. A new Learning and Teaching building will be built during the year to provide enhanced facilities for these programmes and others.
