In partnership with our students, staff and stakeholders, we transform lives and communities through high-quality, high-impact education informed by cutting-edge research and innovation. Our collaborative endeavours extend from our two campuses in Cardiff to schools, colleges, business, industry, charities, government and communities locally, nationally and internationally, including through our extensive trans-national education partnerships.

Our growth agenda, realised through the development of over 60 new degree programmes since 2019 and evidenced by an increase in turnover of 50% over the last 6 years, is driven by our values and our focus on our people.
