Swansea University

It has been great so far! The support has been immense and I've never felt alone. The teaching staff are incredibly knowledgeable and very approachable. Placements have also been fantastic, with early patient contact. Truly a great way to solidify our learning :)

Such a great time at uni and received so much support throughout my time. Beautiful location, amazing facilities and so happy I’m studying here. Brilliant university

It’s an amazing place! The people are by far the nicest out of anywhere I’ve lived before. I truly love Swansea. The downside though is that they don’t do enough for students especially when it comes to the social and sports side. It’s a privilege to compete for the university in sports, when it shouldn’t be. You shouldn’t have to be wealthy to play in a uni sports team. Memberships and varsity is extortionate. They do not promote the sports clubs, or offer any opportunities for students. It’s very much fend for yourselves. The sports clubs aren’t even given the full equipment that’s needed. Facilities are pretty poor, both sports wise and the medical school. It feels like a run-down uni that doesn’t want to spend money on students as it’s well established and has got nothing to prove. This is my opinion as I have already graduated from another university, that is lower in the rankings, yet did so much more for their students. The opportunities and social experience I got from that university are unmatched. Saying that, the sports teams are to a good standard. They have excellent coaches. And again, I’ve met my people here in Swansea. If you decide to come to Swansea university, you will make friends that will truly become your family. It’s still the best decision I’ve made.
