Enjoy an art school experience in a contemporary university at Swansea College of Art, part of University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD).
We respect and celebrate our traditions, which is why we have retained traditional equipment and processes. We are also forward-looking, and our buildings are bristling with new technology.
We pride ourselves on the experience students receive, graduate prospects are at the forefront of what we offer and the amount of contact time students get with staff is also among the highest in the country.
Swansea is a great place to study Art & Design, a seaside city, embracing the creative power of water: big enough to offer you the space you need; small enough to make you feel that you belong.
What’s more, UWTSD are currently ranked 1st in Wales, joint 12th in the UK for Art & Design (The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021), and 1st in Wales, 3th in the UK for Design & Crafts and 1st in Wales, 5th for Art, 1st in Wales, 8th in the UK for Fashion & Textiles (Guardian League Table 2021) - see all the results.
