Universities in Wales deliver over 5000 courses to over 25,000 international students at its eight institutes of higher education. Between them, Welsh universities boast a significant number of 4* rated departments, the highest rating you can achieve, whilst 92% of graduates from Welsh universities found employment within six months of leaving university.

Many campuses are based within a short distance of areas notable for their beauty, and many surveys have shown that students in Wales consistently enjoy a better quality of life than other students across the UK.

Wales might be a small nation in comparison to its larger neighbours in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland but it more than compensates with breath-taking landscapes and coastal beauty. Wales’s mountains, hills and rivers offer ample opportunity to escape the bustle of university life, whilst cities such as Cardiff mean big city thrills are not far away. There are also six UNESCO world heritage sites in Wales.
