I'm studyn fashion design and I heard about the uni through a friend. The main reason I chose cov uni is the fact that the school of arts and design got an up to date tailoring machines and advanced technology. What I realy like about cov uni is the architectural buildings and the fact that the uni is licated right at the city center where everywhere is close both accomodation and stores making life easier for students unlike other institutions

First year in swansea is way better than I had ever imagine. The studies related to my course are mostly covered in A levels. The first year is basically a party year and the students here don't fail to do so. This is one of the best decisions I have ever taken. As every one around me was in the same condition it was not so hard to make friends. Everyone around here is very approachable. The security provided for the accommodations is amazing. There are cameras installed in every building. The safety measures taken are immense and the response team is always ready on hand. The facilities provided by the university include amazing classroom and staff, a shop on campus, a massive library and a sports village. Any student needing anything can get it on campus. The university campus is more like a city within itself. Surely Swansea is the best university which fits for me.

Swansea University

Business Management (Entrepreneurship) BSc (Hons)

University rating (5)

The lectures held in the university are perfect but I suppose the staff is a bit slack. The teachers take no efforts in reaching out to the students in matters of assignments, submission dates or some queries. The instructions given for labs and some extra classes are inadequate and they expect you to figure out everything yourself. The talbot building is extremely big and people inside hardly know about the rooms in the building. Maps and directions are placed at very odd positions and are not at all helpful. The place I like is the JCs bar. Its a very fun place to play pool or sit with your fiends. The library is also very well equipped with supposedly every book needed. The student halls are also amazing but thats as long as you get along with your flatmates.

Swansea is a very good university. Much better than what I had expected. The worst part about the campus is the accommodation. There are very less rooms available here for students and the rooms are super small. The part-catered options are also very limited and the food is no good. Most of the cafes where the part catered card work shut down by 5. There is only one cafe on the campus which is open till late but the card doesn't work there. Shifting to uplands or Tbecks is the best possible option. Apart from the drawback the university is rocking. The party life on the campus and in the city are fantastic. People here know how to live life. If you join some club, the meets are held which are super entertaining and a quality time spender.

Oh my god!! Swansea University is the place! I have been to many cities visiting people but nothing like swansea. The freshness around swansea is amazing. The place around the university is covered in trees. The biggest park in wales is in swansea and bang next to the campus. The swansea campus is a beach facing campus. I have around 6 hrs of class per week without counting the seminars. So it is very easy for me to balance my extra curricular work and academics. Swansea University also has a wide range of societies and the major societies are all about adventure sports. According to my seniors, the university has one of the best placement plans in the UK.

If I had a change I would love to change my university. The city and the university are a bit boring. The university is not serious about most of the courses. Some assignments are given at random without any prior notice. I feel that some of my modules in my course are not needed and are included. It is a major task to entertain yourself on the campus. The bar and the club on the campus are so small that they often get crowded and disgusting. The campus staff can sometimes get rude and I have often heard my friend complaining about them that they knock on your doors at odd hours. The accommodations here are like concentration camps and can get depressing sometimes.

Swansea is a very warm place by nature. People around are very welcoming and nice always. The best and craziest thing in swansea is the student village. The rooms are a bit small but the fun and party is to the max. Freshers week is the best start for any academic year and swansea university helps everyone to settle down. The initial help offered is a very good gesture. The staff around helps everyone from the very basic problems to the most severe problem. The academic staff in swansea is readily available for everyone and any doubt can be cleared within no time. There are around 15 hrs of lectures per week so there is not much pressure on students to work.

I am a sports material student at swansea. I am a very sport person and I am very much impressed by the facilities swansea offers. The sports village near the campus is massive and has some of the best turf pitches. Football and rugby are serious sports around and anyone can train for them. The gym and pool are also fantastic but are a bit over priced. The accommodations are very small as expected, but there are no real things provided by the accommodation service. The security and help around is amazing though. Nothing is different about swansea university in particular apart from the beach. Overall a fantastic place and I am sure anyone can have fun and study as well in Swansea.

This university is the perfect party place. With everyone around you sailing the same boat, it is very easy to make friends. The weather is also prefect as in it is not too cold nor too hot. The beach makes it a beautiful place. The drawback in swansea university is maybe the only shop on campus. Cost cutter is a small shop on campus and has most of the things. But during odd hours, the nearest 24hr tesco is a long 40 min walk. Apart from that swansea is the perfect place as I mentioned earlier. The rooms are a bit small but private accommodations across the singleton park are the best bargain.
