Generally my course and lecturers are good although there is a great deal of variation in quality. I like London. The library at QMUL is awful. The ground floor has been redeveloped and looks great but it needs extending to the first and second floors.

Swansea is a very old university and has been developing since then. The university buildings have the latest infrastructure and have used all the possible technology. Swansea focuses more on practical approach than theoretical approach as it is more helpful during working in a specific field. The university has tie ups with great companies like rolls royce, atkins and bloodhound SSC. The university staff is very professional and have great experience in their own fields. A great thing is that there are so many international students in swansea that it becomes fun to know people from different background. The societies from the students union hold their meets in the JC bar which is a quality place. I love hanging out with my mates. The nigh life in swansea is crazy with some of the best clubs around. There are different packages for students which is valid for a year and include entries for all the parties and a few drinks. Swansea will be always known for its beach. Swansea is the closest university to the beach in the whole world. It is a closed campus university and has almost everything that we need. There is a small bank and a cost cutter inside the campus. The city centre is a 10 min drive from the campus. Swansea is not like the best university but it is not too bad even. There is a perfect balance of my social and academic life. I have developed my time management skills such that I can do everything I wish on that day. The gym is also very well equipped and have many student offers. The university encourages sports amongst the students and help the students organise many events like parties, festivals, guest lectures, Donation camps etc. The university is moulding me such that I can concentrate and excel in the field and is taking every possible measure.

I am in love with university because the courses are not taken very seriously here. The university is a very chilled out place and there is no pressure to attend the classes. The assignments have a long period of submission dates and help is offered for completion of the assignments. The labs are also open till late so that we all can work in them till late. I am so thankful to swansea and I think this is the perfect university for lazy students like me.

I have done a foundation course and then got through swansea university. The foundation course is very much related to the first year university. Swansea is one of the very few universities which offer a good foundation course. After doing the foundation course my 1st year is going in a total free flow. The courses which I am currently doing a very divided and easy to understand. The professors are approachable and keep the students updated throughout the course about every bit related to the course. The university also offers a wide range of extra curricular actives and also hosts many guest lectures from top companies. There are some specified departments to handle every issue faced by us. The accommodation is also great and a friendly place.

Swansea University

Mechanical Engineering (with a year in industry) MEng (Hons)

University rating (5)
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.

Swansea is my stepping stone towards my career. I am pursuing mechanical engineering in swansea and wish to join a F1 team in future. The course which I study totally fits my interest and career path. Along with technical and theoretical study, I also have designing modules which help me design almost anything using a software. All my major designing softwares are installed on the comps used in the engineering building. The engineering building is too huge to get a hang of. The best part about the accommodation on campus is that I dont spend much time travelling on the bus or waiting in a que. In between classes I can go to my room. The rooms are a it small but the flat has all the necessities. 8 people share a flat and has a kitchen. Living on campus is the best thing and is very convenient.

Swansea is small town based along the beach side. The campus is very self sufficient in its self and so I normally dont feel the need to go out of the campus. Swansea faces one serious issue and thats about employability. If anyone wishes to pick up some part time job its a great task to get one. Most of the jobs are away from the campus. The university has a dedicated team for every possible subject. The IT department is pretty impressive. I have had so many problems related to my gadgets but they always do have a solution for that. The IT department has also started a new program in which they lend tablets to students for a year for just 100£ and we get the deposit back once we submit back the tablet. These are the things worth mentioning and different about swansea. Rest of the university is, like everyone says, the best!

The place is an total entertainment package. There is one of the best go-karting track around 30mins away from swansea. There is a laser tag arena in swansea near the city centre. There are so many pubs with great food and beer. Nightouts are always exciting and filled with fun specially when there are such amazing clubs to party at. Leaving fun aside, swansea has a studious side too. The coursework and assessments are the centre of my life or rather any student life. The university professors take every possible measure to help students progress. Extra problems, textbook extracts, exam type questions etc are the main things which the professors mail the students and I feel that they are of great help. The thing which keeps us all on track is the class test which are at decent intervals and test the clarity of a topic known to that student. Swansea has the perfect mix of academic and social life and I am proud to be a part of swansea university.

Swansea university is an amazing university. The accommodations add on to the student experience for me. The day I came here, everything had changed. Compared to other buildings on campus, caswell and a few others are new buildings and are a bit bigger than the old buildings. The set back for the university campus is that there are no food joints on the campus. There are 2 but shut down by eve and the food is not tasty though. The singleton park is a very dangerous park and the university takes no care about the path which goes from the park. During midnight the lights go off and the park is very scary. There have been some cases where some students have been mugged. But the university provides everything that a student needs. The library is huge and is open 24/7. There are silent study areas, PC labs and a large stock of books. The lectures are awesome and the halls are big to accomodate everyone. The lecturers talk on a mic and the notes are projected on a screen. Everything is in its way for me and this is a perfect university.

The swansea university campus is built on the swansea bay. Most of the people know swansea as a quite, beautiful place. But once you are here, the place is crazzyy. Right from the freshers week, I had started bonding with people and as everyone around were new, it was not a task. There was so much to do when I had come here and I had no idea how my first month flew by. I always feared of being home sick or being bored or being alone but since I have been here not once I have ever felt like that. My lectures are spaced out and the best part is all the lectures start late mornings. So every possible day I dont have to get up in the morning and catch a bus to the university. Student village is the best place for any student as you can be surrounded by students always. The disadvantage of living at the village is that it takes a toll on your academics. I find it pretty hard to concentrate and someone or the other is always having a party around. The last minute submissions are also not possible because the buses running on the route can get crowded very often and hence delayed. Swansea has both good sides and bad sides but is for sure the best university.

The campus of the university is very big. There is a massive park besides the campus. The campus is surrounded by a park, a beach and a sports village. The city of swansea is very beautiful The university is not that great. The lectures are held for the sake of it. There are so many students in the lecture theatre that the people sitting at the back can hardly listen to the lecturer. I expected much more from the campus being it a student place. There is hardly anything to do on the campus. There is just one bar which shuts at 11 and a very small club which can accommodate hardly 50 people. The student hall buildings are a nightmare for anyone not living on the top floor. Even if anyone walks on the top floor the window panels vibrate. The noise it creates is very disturbing. Private accommodations are way better than the student halls. Being in the first year I am still not very concerned about the placement services after my degree but I am not sure of that even. Swansea can be a much better university provided the campus is used effectively.
