Global UWIC
One tenth of UWIC students are from overseas, and our Associate College (the London School of Commerce) deliver international foundation programmes on our Colchester Avenue campus. It is already teaching University of Wales degrees, through UWIC, in London, Bangladesh and Malaysia.  We also have UWIC students resident in Singapore.

Learning and teaching will always be at the heart of what we do at UWIC. We hope you fully experience our efforts to maintain a personal touch within a friendly and supportive learning environment.

We continue to develop our profile, against strong competition, in the following areas:-

UWIC provides a very supportive learning environment

    * UWIC recruits overseas students from over 125 countries
    * UWIC has a policy that defines student entitlement to personal tuition
    * UWIC is investing over £50 million in its estate

UWIC graduates get a head-start in the world of work

    * 95% of our students have found employment or are undertaking further study within six months of completing their studies
    * Within many of UWIC undergraduate programmes, the provision of work placements is an assessed as part of the course

UWIC has a strong and growing reputation for research and enterprise

    * Postgraduates are 23% of the total student population - amongst the highest proportion of all Welsh universities
    * Over 28% of research submitted by UWIC is rated as Internationally Excellent or World Leading and 64% of Research is rated as being of International Standing
    * UWIC has a number of high-profile research and enterprise centres, including the Food Industry Centre, the Welsh Centre for Tourism Research, and the National Centre for Product Design and Development Research

UWIC is a socially-inclusive organisation and promotes equality

    * UWIC has committed to invest £10 million over the next five years to support student bursaries and other widening access measures

Our students have many different reasons for choosing to study here. For some, the quality of the course is important; for others it is the social life and facilities offered by the city. A proportion of students tell us they chose Cardiff because the city does not leave them feeling overwhelmed; others wish to be close to their home.

Whatever the reasons for choosing Cardiff, our students say that when they leave us at the end of their course they take with them memories of friendship, warmth and hospitality.
