Teaching quality and accreditations

Several of USW’s courses have been accredited by professional organizations, highlighting its academic excellence. Accreditations come from a wide range of professional bodies, including:

• British Psychology Society
• British Computer Society
• Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply
• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
• Institute of Fire Safety Engineers

Many of USW’s courses are developed alongside professional bodies, and several teaching staff are still actively involved in their chosen industries. This allows students to be taught by modern industry experts and engage with courses that have been specifically designed to meet business expectations and demands.

The university is also heavily involved with high-impact research work. Using collaborative learning practices, it develops and explores solutions to problems within society, culture, and the economy. This includes areas of sustainability, security, and justice, as well as health and well-being. In the latest Research Excellence Framework, half of its research was rated ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.

It is also the only UK university to have integrated industry-standard aircraft maintenance qualification 'EASA Part 66' with an aerospace honor’s degree, delivered on a single campus. Students can also undertake practical training all over the world with any university-approved Part 145 Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) organization.
