Partner Colleges

You don’t have to go far to get on

If you want to achieve your ambitions but are committed to your work or family, we have a network of links that could help you study on your doorstep. We’ve developed partnership agreements with colleges throughout Wales, the UK and at many institutions overseas, so you can study a University of Glamorgan course at your local college.

You’ll be a University of Glamorgan student and get a university qualification, but will study at a place that is convenient for you. You can choose from a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, or an HNC, HND or Foundation Degree in all kinds of subjects, many of which guarantee progression to a University of Glamorgan degree course.
