Hi All,

Quick note to remind you that the Student Success team are on campus in (Cardiff & Swansea) and available to help you with anything you may need. Suzi, Kiri and Sinead have asked I share the below with you.

How we can help

We offer information, advice and support with any issues or difficulties you might be having that are affecting your studies.
We can offer helpful guidance and refer you to the specialist services available at the university.
We can walk you through form filling and help you access the resources you need.

You can access our service by completing the Student Support Request Form. Once we know a bit more about your situation and what kind of help you’re looking for, we can chat about your options through email, face-to-face, over Teams or by phone.

We’ve also got a survey currently running to ask male students under 30 for their input on how to improve our support. If you are within this category, there is a £10 Love2Shop reward for a few minutes of your time! Complete the questionnaire: [Young Males and Student Support Services – Fill in form] The survey will close once we reach 200 responses or in May - whichever comes first.

Please note:

You can only complete the survey once
You need to include your student email at the end of the survey to receive the vouchers
For any questions, email studentsuccess@uwtsd.ac.uk

Calling all Wales based UWTSD students and Alumni

Got a business idea?

Turn it into something real (with a chance to win a prize while you're at it)

This is your chance to test it, shape it, and showcase it!

We’re excited to launch the All Wales Business Idea Competition, open to all UWTSD Wales campus students and alumni. No business experience needed. No polished pitch required. Just an idea and a willingness to have a go.

Whether you’re:

at idea stage
experimenting with something small
or already trading

we want to see your enterprising spirit.

What ‘s in it for you?

1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place prizes for current Wales based students
1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place prizes for Wales based alumni
Feedback on your business idea
Relaxed networking opportunities with fellow enterprising students
Recognition and exposure for your venture
A real confidence boost and a CV talking point

How It Works

1. Submit just two things by 25^thMarch 2026

Your Business Model Canvas (templates and support provided)
A simple promotional poster explaining your idea

2. Our panel will shortlist the top entries

3. If shortlisted you will be invited to present your idea at a relaxed exhibition style showcase event in Swansea on 28th April 2026 (Think tabletop stalls, conversations and networking, not scary pitching). During this event an expert panel of judges will review the entries and award the prizes.

This is more than a competition

It's an opportunity to:

refine your idea
get honest, supportive feedback
build confidence
connect with people who can help you move your idea forward.

Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or an established business owner, we want to hear from you! Don’t wait until your idea is “perfect”, that’s what the feedback is for.

Good luck, and we can't wait to see your ideas!

Best wishes,

The Business Idea Competition Team

Galw ar holl fyfyrwyr a chyn-fyfyrwyr PCYDDS yng Nghymru

Oes gennych chi syniad busnes?

Trowch eich syniad yn rhywbeth go iawn (gyda chyfle i ennill gwobr hefyd)

Dyma eich cyfle i’w brofi, ei lunio a’i arddangos!

Rydym yn gyffrous i lansio Cystadleuaeth Syniad Busnes Cymru Gyfan, sydd ar agor i holl fyfyrwyr a chyn-fyfyrwyr ar gampysau yng Nghymru. Nid oes angen profiad busnes. Nid oes angen cyflwyniad slic. Y cyfan sydd ei angen yw syniad a pharodrwydd i fentro.

P’un a ydych chi:

ar gam cyntaf y syniad
yn arbrofi gyda rhywbeth bach
neu eisoes yn masnachu

rydym eisiau gweld eich ysbryd mentrus.

Beth sydd ynddo fe i chi?

Gwobrau 1af, 2il a 3ydd i fyfyrwyr presennol sydd wedi’u lleoli yng Nghymru
Gwobrau 1af, 2il a 3ydd i gyn-fyfyrwyr sydd wedi’u lleoli yng Nghymru
Adborth ar eich syniad busnes
Cyfleoedd rhwydweithio anffurfiol gyda chyd-fyfyrwyr mentrus
Cydnabyddiaeth a chyhoeddusrwydd i’ch menter
Hwb go iawn i’ch hyder a phrofiad i’w ychwanegu at eich CV

Sut y mae’n Gweithio

1. Cyflwyno dau beth yn unig erbyn 25 Mawrth 2026

Eich Cynfas Model Busnes (darparir templedi a chymorth)
Poster hyrwyddo syml sy’n esbonio eich syniad

2. Bydd ein panel yn tynnu rhestr fer o’r ceisiadau gorau

3. Os ydych chi ar y rhestr fer, gwahoddir i chi gyflwyno eich syniad mewn digwyddiad arddangos anffurfiol yn Abertawe ar 28 Ebrill 2026 (meddyliwch am stondinau bwrdd, trafodaethau a rhwydweithio, dim cyflwyniadau brawychus). Bydd panel o feirniaid arbenigol yn adolygu’r ceisiadau ac yn dyfarnu’r gwobrau yn ystod y digwyddiad hwn.

Mae hon yn fwy na chystadleuaeth

Mae’n gyfle i:

fireinio eich syniad
cael adborth onest, cefnogol
magu hyder
cysylltu â phobl sy’n gallu eich helpu i symud eich syniad yn ei flaen.

Barod i fentro?

Dyddiadau Allweddol

Dyddiad cau: 25 Mawrth 2026
Digwyddiad Arddangos: 28 Ebrill 2026, 11am-2pm, Abertawe (Matrics Arloesi)

Peidiwch â cholli’r cyfle hwn. P'un a ydych chi'n entrepreneur newydd neu'n berchennog busnes sefydledig, rydyn ni eisiau clywed gennych chi! Peidiwch ag aros nes bod eich syniad yn “berffaith”, dewch i gael adborth.

Pob lwc, ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at weld eich syniadau!
