Soon to celebrate its centenary (in 2013), the University of Glamorgan has developed into one of the leading higher education establishments in Wales. With over 20,000 students and dynamic modern facilities, the University is at the cutting edge of advanced education, yet its main campus is located in one of the typically spectacular valleys of south Wales. Its new ATRiuM building, located in the heart of Cardiff, means it can provide state of the art facilities for its creative arts students. Being so close to the capital city of Wales, yet surrounded by hills and woodland, means the University is in the perfect position to provide a wonderful learning environment for the student. Plentiful cheap accommodation, an excellent transport infrastructure and superb modern teaching facilities all help to ensure that Glamorgan really can provide all the advantages a student might wish for.
