Course summary
TEF Silver
University of Wales Trinity Saint David has opted into the TEF and received a Silver award.
Our BA(Hons) Advertising and Brand Design degree course at Swansea College of Art UWTSD is focussed on providing our graduates with the very best opportunity to land their dream job in the creative industries.
Our students study to become creative communication practitioners which, in an ever-changing media landscape, means learning how to communicate through numerous digital, social media, traditional and non-traditional channels, to reach specific target audiences.
The challenge is exciting and requires boundless innovation so we encourage originality and risk-taking. We also emphasise a future-facing sustainable and ethical approach to advertising and branding, because tomorrow is just as important to us as today.
Many of our students have gone on to work with globally recognised brands like DHL, Qatar Airways, Playstation, Asics, Snickers, Lego, Virgin, Under Armour, British Skin Foundation, Remington, Pizza Hut and Thorpe Park.
We pride ourselves on our small class sizes and are part of the longest established art school in Wales. This means we can offer you considerable contact time with your lecturers and the use of our extensive facilities to help you realise your long-term creative ambitions.
