Renowned for its friendly community and supportive atmosphere, Glamorgan continues to grow and attracts more than 25,000 students to its campuses in South Wales and delivery points across the globe.
The University’s research activities go from strength to strength, as illustrated by their growing reputation in several fields, including sustainable environment, disaster management, mobile communications and medical imaging.
