The University of South Wales (USW) takes pride in being a vocationally focused University,preparing students for jobs in key sectors in Wales and beyond. We have an ambitious 2030 university and faculty strategic plan for growth, sustainability, and excellence in student outcomes. The Head of Subject role will lead the Applied Science team in providing the highest levels of student outcomes and developing industry-ready graduates.
The Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science (CES) is one of three faculties at USW. Offering courses in the main STEM subjects as well as more niche areas such as cyber security, forensic science and sustainable environment. All our courses are industry-linked with an emphasis on employability.
Applied Science is a subject area within USW’s Faculty of Computing, Engineering, and Science. We offer a wide range of courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, including, Biological Sciences, Biomedical Science, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Forensic
Science and Investigation, and Medical Sciences. The subject area benefits from modern laboratory facilities and will see the development of a state-of-the-art crime scene village by March 2027.
This role is based principally at USW’s Upper Glyntaff campus but with an expectation to attend USW’s other campuses from time to time.
The role offers the opportunity to work with the faculty’s leadership team and to provide leadership to the subject area, drive the strategy for growth and development in research, the academic portfolio, recruitment, and innovation.
