6 findings
  1. The short answer

  2. What you can study

    University of Wales, Lampeter was a university rather than a current active course provider under its own name. It no longer operates as a separate institution after merging with Trinity University College in 2010 to form the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, so the current programme catalogue should be checked at the successor university.

    No tuition fee is published for this institution, and it is no longer a separate university. Living costs in Lampeter would depend on accommodation, travel, and day-to-day spending, so confirm current costs with the successor university’s admissions office or official website.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university was in the United Kingdom, but no language of instruction is stated. Before applying to the successor institution, check the teaching language, visa requirements, accommodation options, and whether your qualification is accepted for entry.

  6. How it compares

    Among the 193 universities in the United Kingdom, this one stands out mainly for its history: it was founded in 1822 and was the oldest degree-awarding institution in Wales. That makes it relevant as a historical reference, but not as a current standalone option for applicants.
