UWTSD is just as well-received among students. The university fuses traditional higher education with hands-on vocational, professional, and academic research activities.

No matter which area you choose to study, UWTSD is dedicated to giving students an all-encompassing, positive experience. Many of its humanities and social science programmes specifically benefit from the university’s many years of expertise, and, especially in the case of areas like Medieval Studies, the location is ideal for research.
