A sense of place...

The Cultural Programme is an important part of your time at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. The Programme provides a variety of excursions to various locations in Wales and England throughout the academic year.

8 |

www.uwtsd.ac.uk | 9

The Cultural Programme for International Students

Excursions take place on weekends and you are accompanied by members of the International Office who provide historical and cultural information. This is a great way to get to know Wales and England in a safe and friendly environment.

If you’re an international student studying at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and would like to attend these cultural trips, please contact the International Office in advance and specify which campus you are studying in (Swansea, Lampeter or Carmarthen).

These excursions vary slightly, but can include some of the following:

10 |

Pembrokeshire Coast Wales boasts some of the most spectacular coastline in Great Britain. The Pembrokeshire Coast has miles and miles of natural attractions - cliffs, beaches, caves and of course wildlife. Visitors can spot seals, puffins, wild horses and many other wild creatures in their natural habitat. This trip also includes a visit to St David’s, Britain’s smallest City! This is home to a splendid 12th Century Abbey, which was built on the ancient home and church of St. David, patron Saint of Wales.

Llansteffan Llansteffan is a small village just 8 miles from Carmarthen campus.

Yet nestled on the shore of the Tywi Estuary, this village is home to Llansteffan Castle, a 12th century Norman Castle. Following a short climb up a hill, views of both the sands and countryside are breathtaking. Nearby isLaugharne, and the Dylan Thomas Boathouse.

Dylan Thomas is maybe Wales’ most famous poet. He spent the last four of his short 39 years composing his poetry in the little village of Laugharne.

Cardiff

Aberystwyth

Big Pit

The capital of Wales Cardiff was once the world’s leading coal-exporting port. Now, it is a destination point for tourists and native Welsh alike.

An inviting new waterfront, set along Cardiff Bay, is the home to the Millennium Centre (a state of the art theatre/opera House). You can also visit the Millennium Stadium, the home of Welsh rugby!

Once a mining-town, Aberystwyth is now a cultural hub, hosting the National Library of Wales. The National Library is one of the great libraries of the world. Since 1911 it has enjoyed the right to collect, free of charge, a copy of every printed work published in Britain and Ireland.

Coal mining is an integral part of Welsh History. Big Pit was a working coalmine until it closed in 1980.

Then in 1983 it became a museum of the South Wales mining industry and is now known as the National Mining Museum of Wales. The highlight of the visit is the hour-long underground tour, led by ex-miners, which takes you down in the pit cage to walk through underground roadways, air doors, stables and engine houses built by generations of mineworkers. On the surface you can explore the colliery buildings the engine-house, the blacksmiths' workshop and the pithead baths.

Cardiff has a rich history dating back 2,000 years. Its famous castle, built in Roman times, was ‘recreated’ as a medieval-styled showpiece in the nineteenth century. Other popular attractions in the area include the striking Civic Centre, which houses the National Museum, and the city’s Victorian arcades, which offer great shopping.

It also houses exhibitions and is home to many rare Welsh and Celtic manuscripts. You will be able to take the cliff railway up Constitution Hill and visit AberystwythCastle, a Norman Castle built on the site of an Iron Age fortification. Shopping and walks along the promenade are also a must for any visitor!

London

Bath

Students spend the whole weekend exploring London: Among the many places of interest are Westminster; Buckingham Palace; Covent Garden; Trafalgar Square; Oxford Street and Knightsbridge. Students are free to plan their own activities, from sightseeing to seeing a West End Musical!

For two thousand years Bath has been a spa town, built around Britain’s only hot mineral springs. For centuries this natural phenomenon has attracted visitors to Bath, and led to a unique historic urban environment around the springs. The Romans were the first to realise the value of the hot mineral water. They built their religious spa of AquaeSulis around the three springs.

Gower Britain's first designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' Within minutes of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David Swansea campus you reach the 19 mile-long Gower Peninsula. It starts at Mumbles and extends westwards. It's famous for its beautiful coastline and beaches The Gower Peninsula's beaches are some of Wales' cleanest and most beautiful. Rhossili Bay scooped the TripAdvisorTravellers Choice Award for Britain's Best Beach (as well as placing 3rd in Europe and 10th in the World) in 2013.

12 |

The Roman Baths is below the modern street level and has four main features, the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman bath house and finds from Roman Bath.

The Georgian Pump Room is on the ground level. Bath is also known for its shops and was once the home to literary figure, Jane Austin. This visit is always a favorite among international students!

In addition to the cultural program the International Office organizes a number of events throughout the year, including a welcome dinner, afternoon teas, Coffee mornings, Thanksgiving Dinner and the annual St. David’s Day dinner. These are great events which bring together the faculty and International student body.

Discover Lampeter

18 |

Lampeter is similar to a Private Liberal Arts College; it offers a picturesque campus environment, delivering a unique and personalised learning experience.

It blends an historic University (founded in 1822) with all the facilities and technology necessary for 21st century learning.

One of the most important choices you will make in life is not just where you go to college, but what sort of education you get while you're there.

What makes Lampeter a different kind of University is our small, friendly and supportive environment.

We know everyone by their name and we offer an outstanding student experience that can be found nowhere else. We want to make a difference to your life. For us you are a name and never a number.

Every student is involved in their own education. Students and academic staff work closely together.

Learning is collaborative rather than competitive; values are central; there is a strong sense of community. At Lampeter our faculty know their students.

There is discussion, debate and intensive one-on-one interaction among students and their Professors.

www.uwtsd.ac.uk | 19

With a long and distinguished academic tradition in the Humanities, the campus today is home to a range of undergraduate courses in the subject areas of English, History, Archaeology, Chinese, Classical Studies, Philosophy and Religious Studies, as well as less familiar areas, such as Anthropology, Publishing, Ancient Civilisations, Psychology, Ancient Egyptian Culture, and Creative Writing. We have a diverse faculty, with each member of staff research active, well published and have a passionate belief in enabling students with the support they need to succeed.

Many of our students study more than one subject in a major / minor combination or in a new innovative mix across the disciplines with Heritage, Digital Humanities, Museums and Archives, and Education studies.

Whatever program you decide, you’re learning experience will be stimulating, interactive and collaborative.

We are able as a campus of approximately 1,000 full-time students, to offer a learning experience that is radically different from other more impersonal largescale Higher Education institutions.

All students have a personal academic tutor throughout their time at University, to help advise and guide them, and each program has its own welfare officer to provide support where necessary.

You will be taught in small teaching seminars, typically by the second year in groups of between 15 and 25 students. You will get to know your Professors by their first name, as they offer advice on your work and progress, and they in turn will get to know you as an individual. You’ll work with others in small groups.

But you will also engage in your own research and projects, on a topic of your choice, with guidance from tutors. You will have the opportunity to take up a range of extra-curricular activities and student societies, from all manner of sports teams to Medieval Battle Re-enactment, thus becoming part of the most engaged University student body in the country.
