Who are we?

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) has an ambitious mission. We aim to transform education and by doing so transform the lives of the individuals and communities we serve.

The University is part of the UWTSD Group, a confederation of several institutions which includes Coleg Sir Gâr and Coleg Ceredigion as constituent colleges. August 2017 saw the integration of the University of Wales and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. The UWTSD Group offers a continuum from further to higher education for the benefit of learners, employers and communities.

The University’s history began in 1822 with the founding of our Lampeter campus. It enjoys the accolade of being the birthplace of higher education in Wales. The University’s 1828 Royal Charter is the oldest of any university in Wales.

Hear from Nathan, BEng Motorsport Engineering (Beng) graduate...

I chose UWTSD because the Motorsport Engineering course offered a strong practical focus alongside the academic content. I wanted a course that would allow me to develop as a well-rounded engineer, not just through lectures, but through real design, manufacturing, testing, and analysis work. After graduating, I will be starting a role with Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team within the model shop.

Hear from Brody Crockford, Motorcycle Engineering (BEng) graduate...

The workshops are what originally sold it for me to study at UWTSD and are now my second home. The tools we have access to, alongside the staff and their genuine approach makes it such an enjoyable environment to be in and makes working much less stressful being able to speak to the lecturers and technicians at any time. I would recommend this course to anyone who is passionate about motorcycles/motorsport.
