OVERALL UNIVERSITY RATING

Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

So far, I have had such a lovely time here in Swansea. I have made friends for life and I know that I have learnt many transferable skills that will help me in life.

Job Prospects

How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?

They are extremely engaged and offer many opportunities to increase my employability. They set up workshops, networking events with employers for different departments (panel discussions etc.), and many other events that help my employability. They also send out a good amount of emails offering different types work placements. Furthermore, they give us the option to make an appointment with career advisers to help discuss career paths, and work placements that could get us on the possible career path .

Course and Lecturers

What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?

I like most how the lecturers include activities in our seminars to help with our employability. They include ungraded presentations to give us practice on presenting in front of people which would help boost a transferable skill. I don’t know if there is anything I like least.

How many contact hours per week do you have?

Students' Union

What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?

I think the Student Union is doing a great job representing the students at Swansea. They also set up many events that benefit the students.

Uni Facilities

How good are your university's facilities?

The lecture theatres (computer and mic) could be better. There could also be more seats in the library or just an expansion of the library would be ideal.

Local life

Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?

Pretty good. The uni is opposite the beach and night life is pretty decent too.

Societies and Sports

How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?

Clubs and societies are very active and enjoyable. I have been in 4 different societies and everything single meet up has been an amazing time. You also make a lot of friends.

Student Support

How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).

I think the support has been amazing. The pastoral care I receive (especially when I am in a circumstance not within my control) is really great. I feel they genuinely care. The academic side is also good. The feedback I get from my essays help me understand how to up my grade further.
