Uni decision announced

The University has decided to move the Humanities courses from Lampeter to Carmarthen - the announcement was made today via student email.

We know that for many of you, this is not the news you wanted to hear, and there are a lot of mixed feelings. We're taking a moment to reflect and process this news before sharing our official response next week.

We are taking this moment to reaffirm our commitment to you. We've been right alongside you from the start - and we're still here!

We've secured clear asks and assurances from the University, they are:

  1. That the University include answers to the concerns relating to learning resources which students have raised with the University and Students' Union (Archaeology Labs and Library relocation) when communicating its announcement of any decision.
  2. There is an opportunity for the Students’ Union and UWTSD Operations Team to submit a business case for a modest transition fund (exact figures for discussion).
  3. If the decision is made to move programmes, that there is a mechanism of assurance that appropriate bodies (student loan company, other Universities, etc) are notified and updated to support students who wish to transfer to another institution.

You can learn more about our asks and students' feedback in Rhobyn's presentation to the University's Senior Leadership Team.

We ask our members to continue sending us their thoughts and concerns and reach out to us if you need support.

Thoughtfully, UWTSD Students' Union.
