The university has two main campuses.
Pontypridd Campus
From listed buildings to new, modern structures, The Pontypridd campus reflects the university’s history and its ambitions. The campus is divided into two sites: USW Treforest and USW Glyntaff and students will find everything they need including halls of residence, the library and sport centre, and cafes and bars.
