Study in the UK, for the experience of a lifetime
By enrolling for a Dual Award degree at IUMW, you have the opportunity to study at our partner university, the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) in Wales, part of the UK. The study abroad period will usually take place during level 5 (semesters 3 and 4). The fee for the mobility programme is GBP 3500.
UWTSD has attractive campuses located at some beautiful locations across Wales, which are in Carmarthen, Lampeter, and Swansea. Your programme will determine which campus you study at while you’re in Wales.
Studying abroad may be one of the most beneficial experiences for a university student. You get the opportunity to study in a foreign nation and take in the allure and culture of a new land.
When you return home, you will return with a new perspective on culture, language skills, a great education, and a willingness to learn. Needless to say, all of these are very attractive to future employers.
