University of Glamorgan

The University of Glamorgan offers a range of higher-level qualifications, to help you take the next step in your career, improve your employment prospects, or develop your knowledge through research. Courses can start in February or September.

The University of Glamorgan has campuses in Cardiff city centre and nearby Pontypridd. The University comprises of four academic faculties; Faculty of Advanced Technology, Faculty of Business and Society, Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries and Faculty of Health, Sport and Science.

At Glamorgan, we're proud of our reputation for first-class teaching, applied research, excellent facilities and outstanding academic support. There has never been a better time to be a Glamorgan student and competition for places is growing year on year. We have a thriving postgraduate community of over 3,000 students, from part-time professional qualifications to full-time research degrees.

Within the University, many Faculties and Divisions are recognised for their expertise. Glamorgan Business School, for example, has been awarded the Gold standard for its delivery of the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) course. In the Faculty of Advanced Technology, Electronic Product Engineering and Environmental Technology are designated centres of expertise in Wales.

Professional Links to boost your employability

Our links with industry in Wales, the UK and overseas mean that our teaching is informed by actual practice, so you can see how theories are implemented in the real world. We regularly update and develop our modules to reflect real-life trends and we work in consultation with employers to ensure that our graduates are equipped for the demands of the workplace. We also deliver courses on behalf of many professional bodies, like the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) or the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

Investment and support

We are investing £130m in our facilities right across the University's three campuses. This has already seen the opening of our ATRiuM campus in Cardiff city centre and a new home for our Law School in Treforest. There is also a new Postgraduate Centre which offers quiet study and social areas for our postgraduate community. Watch the video.

Health, sport and science students enter new laboratories at the Glyntaff campus, while a new Students' Union complex opened in September 2010 at Treforest to provide a space for our all our students to study, socialise and relax. This is in addition to our Aerospace Centre, complete with aeroplane, international-standard facilities at the Glamorgan Sport Park and impressive new Halls of Residence, which contain studio flats for the first time.

Taught courses

We offer a range of higher-level qualifications to help you take the next step in your career or boost your employment prospects. Our taught courses include Master of Science (MSc), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Law (LLM) and Master of Business Administration (MBA).

We also provide a range of specialist courses that lead to Postgraduate Certificates or Diplomas, Masters degrees or professional qualifications, such as ACCA or CIPD. Whatever course you choose, you will benefit from a greater understanding of the latest trends in your chosen discipline, as well as enhanced career prospects.
