USW Named In Top Ten Universities Across The UK

The University of South Wales (USW) has been ranked eighth in the WhatUni list of top universities across the UK. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The WhatUni list is voted for entirely by current students. Students give their university an overall rating of one to five. WhatUni average those results to create overall ratings (out of five stars) for each university across ten categories of student experiences. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Existing students also write a review of their university experience which helps future students find the right university for them. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
