Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Traditional conservative intellectual scholarship that has not capitulated to politically correct wokeism. read full review
Most of the staff are very supportive and understanding (nearly all the ones I've encountered, anyway!), they are also generally well recognised in their fields of study and know what they are talking about. They are enthusiastic and excited to share their knowledge of their subject and to encourage students to find their own voice and to extend our understanding and knowledge - not just rote learn 'facts'. Added to the academic support, the location is beautiful and the energy is peaceful and supportive, not frenetic. If you are not hankering for an urban campus, with all that entails, UWTSD Lampeter is suberb. The student support services are also excellent, as is their needs assessment process. However, 'Student life + Students' union' are very much (understandably) focused almost 100% on young students living on campus or locally. So, as a mature student when both an undergraduate and postgraduate student, I have found them totally redundant for older students. Not that big a deal as most of us oldies live off campus and have lives and families alongside our studies. But it means I cannot give an assessment of their performance (hence the 3 stars), other than that, this year's SU folks seem a lot more pro-active than some of their predecessors, judging by their communication output. Some years they are great with their level of real engagement - and some they are complete rubbish. It all depends on the individuals.. Worst aspects of the uni? Nothing major apart from the university as a whole having an unpleasant financial bias away from the humanities and towards business and STEM - which are mostly located on the Swansea and Carmarthen campuses, so sometimes there have been practical issues relating to lack of investment in the fabric of the place in Lampeter, including the student car park looking like the Somme for a number of years (= full of massive potholes). But things seem to have improved recently and hopefully this will be a continuing trend. Oh, AND whoever did their disability access assessments for all their buildings (except the library which was poor but is now very good), is a complete blockhead who absolutely had no clue what they were doing. (Who puts in a lift for disabled students that has a door you can't open unless you are standing up - and also have a fair amount of strength?! That's in the admin building..) SO if they meant business they should engage someone who actually knows what they are doing, preferably from life as well as work experience, to re-assess the place and make plans to sort it out, as well as set up a protocol for work-arounds when alterations are prohibitive. read full review

The staff are extremely helpful, but the university is so far away from the halls of residence, and some parts require maintenance. read full review
It's good to study because it improves one's career, good employment and also, good to study in such a good university like Saint David in London. Good team management and good location. read full review
Best aspects of my University experience is that the facilities such as the library resources, student union and other stuff. It is a lovely place to study as the location is beautiful, and convenient as everything is walking distance.
The experience could be improved through a better form of communication within the university as everything seems to be communicated last minute, or sometimes there is a lack of information. read full review
