Swansea University

Swansea University's location is one of the many factors that contributes to the unique Swansea feeling. Having the beach on your doorstep, alongside the scenic Singleton Park and neighbouring Kilvey Hill, Gower Coastline, and Brecon Beacons, means that there is no shortage of fresh air opportunities to destress and enjoy the great outdoors. The campus university nature of Swansea means that everything you need is in one place, meaning the university has a true community feel where many academic and social groups combine. In my experience the department is filled with a myriad of experts who are approachable and willing to provide support both in lectures and virtually via emails.

The lecturers and other staff are super helpful and friendly. If possible, the timetable's interface in canvas could be modified to always show the course the student is studying. It's sometimes tiring to have to always select the course from the list. Increasing the number of bus services available on time for the morning lectures would be great!

I never thought I’d enjoy my uni experience this much! This year has been hard for everyone but the way that Swansea uni has taken it and tried to improve the student experience has been very impressive. From adapting courses to providing some sort of social aspect to our time really shows how much the university cares about students. I couldn’t recommend Swansea more.
