Gaining Skills For The Workplace

Our students learn about their profession in environments that recreate the workplace!

Employability is at the heart of everything we do, with teaching informed by what happens in the real world. Our graduates have the skills that are essential for the workplace and value our employability schemes, business start-up support and opportunities to get actual experience, often as part of your course. It’s an approach that works – 94% of our graduates are in employment or further study within six months of graduation (HEFCW Performance Indicator 201/14 (HESA)).

Delivering these kinds of opportunities requires the very best facilities and support, so we’ve invested millions of pounds to provide them. We are a leader in using simulation for our teaching and our students learn about their profession in environments that recreate the workplace, using the same equipment they will find in industry. This approach ensures that they are ready for the workplace and have the confidence to succeed.

This all adds up to an excellent student experience and the best possible start to your future. But let’s not forget what happens outside the classroom: at university you’ll make new friends for life, try out lots of new things and become more independent than ever before. At the University of South Wales, you’ll find countless opportunities and award-winning support to help you along the way.
