The students are drawn from all over Britain and Ireland, from other
European countries - Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, Denmark,
Greece - and from North America, Malaysia, the Middle East, Africa,
Canada and China.

Here are some of the points international students tell us they really
appreciate about Lampeter:

• Students receive individual attention from teaching staff; most teaching
is done in small groups and staff members are very approachable.
• The compact nature of the campus and the town means that going
from one lecture to the next or heading back home at night does not
involve a long cross-city trek.
• There is a range of accommodation available on campus, including en
suite and self-catering. Lampeter aims to provide the cheapest student
accommodation rates in Great Britain.
• For those who require it, some accommodation blocks are set aside
as male-only and female-only.
• The University social life is lively, with lots of events organized by the
Students’ Union.
• You can explore the idyllic Welsh countryside whenever you wish: it’s
always just outside the door.

And, as one French student remarked: “Don’t forget to mention that
Lampeter is the most welcoming university I have ever had the pleasure
to experience!”

The university’s academic disciplines are grouped in two Schools:
the School of Humanities and the School of Social Sciences. We
don’t teach sciences and we don’t teach engineering. We teach
the traditional liberal arts, but with an emphasis on their relevance
in the modern world, and we teach the skills required in modern
management. There are also degree courses which span a number of
disciplines, such as Medieval Studies, Environment and Archaeology,
or Australian Studies.

The majority of subjects can be taken as part of a Single Honours
Degree (one main subject only), a Joint Honours Degree (where two
subjects are studied in parallel), or a Combined Honours Degree
(three subjects). This allows a very wide range of possibilities for
your studies. You can tailor your degree programme to your particular
interests and requirements.

Students may register full-time or part-time. A number of degree
programmes are also available on a distance-learning basis.
Lampeter offers courses of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Arts (three-years full-time study or the equivalent in part-time study),
and shorter courses leading to the Certificate or Diploma in Higher

Education, in areas such as:

There is also a lively graduate teaching programme across the range
of disciplines, leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of
Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy.
