An impressive roster of local suppliers provides added-values services including live filming and broadcast.
The University has a proud reputation for working closely with industry and the in-house meeting and events team welcome up to 30,000 delegates a year across all three sites. This team works hard to bring your event on-site and then elevate your event.

The university is one of the largest in the UK and the result of an amalgamation of University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales. 

Value for money accommodation.
In July and August, the university becomes the largest provider of low-cost accommodation in the South Wales region.

Dedicated Conference Centre.
At its Pontypridd site, just 20 minutes from Cardiff, the Centre has capacity for 220 theatre style. A quick 20-minute transfer to Cardiff, an ideal 'off-site' delivering a more rural setting with views out across the valley.
