If you’re studying a University of South Wales course through Cardiff and Vale College, this page gives you a list of all the links you'll need
to use during your time on the course. It's a bridge between the
college's and the university's homepages for enrolled students,
specifically geared to USW students at CAVC. Why not make it your
homepage?
After the links, you can also find an overview of the responsibilities and contacts in both institutions.
This page is managed by the UniLife Team at USW
and by Andrew White and Kate Ellaway at CAVC. If you have any comments
or suggestions about the information, please get in touch!
