Why Carmarthen
'Home from Home'
Carmarthen Campus is more than just a place to study – it’s a home from home for around 1,500 students. It offers a close-knit, safe, and welcoming environment where students are known by name, not by number.
Here, you’ll find a strong sense of community and a university experience that values individual growth and wellbeing.
The campus blends historic charm with modern innovation. You’ll find Old College, dating back to 1848, standing proudly alongside the Canolfan S4C Yr Egin, a state-of-the-art creative centre that opened in 2018. This unique combination of old and new provides an inspiring setting for both study and social life.
