About the University campus

The University of Wales, Newport has two campuses. As an international student at WISC you will study on the main University campus, the Caerleon Campus, 4 miles outside the city centre. This campus has views over rolling Welsh hills and is close to the beautiful river Usk.

Take a virtual tour of the Caerleon campus on the University's website.

The University's other campus, the Allt-yr-yn Campus, is just outside Newport’s busy city centre.

You will be taught in the Wales International Study Centre which is situated on the top floor of the Kegie Building on the Caerleon campus.

The amphitheatre, which is believed to be the site of King Arthur’s Round Table, is today a setting for popular theatrical events and celebrations. Interesting buildings and winding side streets, student-friendly residents, 20 pubs and plenty of restaurants means Caerleon has a lot to offer.
