University of Wales

Carmarthen & London

The University of Wales plays a key role in the development of higher education in the country. The charming Carmarthen campus, centred on its original 1848 building, is a lively environment which offers a variety of sports facilities: a state-of-the-art gym, an indoor swimming pool and multipurpose sports hall. Carmarthen town is a short walk away, a pleasant little market town that has recently undergone a major re- development, but its history is both old and distinguished.
