INTERNATIONAL STUDENT TRIP
Exploring Welsh Heritage with UWTSD International Students
On the weekend the Student Hwb had the pleasure of taking 50 international students on a trip to St Fagans National Museum of History and Cardiff city centre.
For many of our students, this was their first experience of Welsh heritage and culture.
A huge thank you to our students for bringing such enthusiasm, curiosity, and fun to the journey.
