Study at UWTSD

Information for applicants on exchange, study abroad programmes and summer programmes.

Students from outside the UK can apply to study in Wales for the experience of a lifetime. We have a long-standing study abroad programme and a number of reciprocal exchange programmes with partner institutions.

Deciding where to go for your Study Abroad Programme is a huge decision, and is one that could change your life! Not only is it an opportunity for you to get an international perspective on your studies, but you will also learn about a different culture, history and way of life. 

Guidance for incoming study abroad/ exchange students

We aim to make the application process for incoming students as smooth as possible as they embark on their Study Abroad experience at UWTSD.

For Exchange students, we request a nomination from our overseas partners for all students who select UWTSD.

Partners must send details of nominated students to the Go Global Team, which include their full name, their current subject of study and the proposed subject area at UWTSD. Once nominated, students will be directed to apply via the international exchange application.

If a student is applying as a study abroad fee-paying student and therefore outside of the exchange agreement, then they can simply apply before the deadline.

How to apply

Wales is a great place to spend this precious time in your educational career. The Study Abroad programme will, of course, provide you with sound academic knowledge, but it is also structured to enable you to enjoy the rich diversity of cultural and social experiences available to you in Wales and at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

Academic Programme

You may choose from a variety of courses at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Full details of the courses available are provided in our undergraduate and postgraduate course pages on the website. 

At the beginning of the programme, our professors will introduce each of the courses to you, so that you can decide which ones appeal to you most. Once you have chosen, there will be between 12-17 hours of classes (60 UK Credits, 30 ECTS credits per semester).

Upon completion of the Study Abroad Programme, you and your institution will be provided with a transcript.
