EVENT GUIDE
University of South Wales BIRM: B100
As one of the few universities
to be ranked Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), we know that sharing knowledge, supporting creativity and striving to make a positive difference will change the future. What motivates us is the drive to help people make the changes that will transform their lives – people like you. We are one of the youngest
universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That’s why we were the fi rst university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012. We want to break the mould of what higher education can be. This has led us to build a whole new university from the ground up that is designed to refl ect the way that you actually learn rather than the way you are expected to learn. Join us and you will be one of the fi rst students through the doors of our Waterside Campus.
