Generally at least for biosciences, all the lecturers and modules head are very passionate and extremely well read so it makes learning the course a treat. Furthermore the location of swansea university being so close to the Gower AONB that we get lots of great field work. Swansea could be improved by giving by the 24hr library but other than that there really is much left to improve upon.

Course is engaging. Though i feel like the scope is abit too broad, especially for environmental science course.

Very decent ensuite room, good kitchen appliances and showers. The bins can get abit grubby and generally there is a lack of a common area for students in the accommodation.

The lecturers are very approachable and useful, and the university is located near the Gower, which is perfect for beach trips.

We take many trips for both the biology and geography aspects of the course. There is also a good balance between coursework and exams, meaning that your grade doesn't rely on exam results. I meet with my tutor three times a semester. We have sessions with the library staff, CAS, and the AI team to help us with essay writing and research.

The Singleton campus is around a 25 minute walk from the city centre and a 5 minute walk from the beach (directly opposite the campus). The campus is surrounded by a park and has loads of nice beaches and walks nearby. Nightlife is good and cheap which is always a bonus and is walkable from the campus taking only 25 minutes as well. The buses are fairly reliable and can take you to the majority of places around Swansea including Caswell Bay (pretty beach in the Gower).

I was in a mixed flat with 15 other people. The rooms were big but old-fashioned and outdated, and would have benefited from a renovation. The kitchen was simple and small for the number of people, and ours could have done with the floor being replaced. Although it was still really cosy, everyone got on and the views from the building were amazing.
