Good local pubs, lectures really know there stuff and the small class sizes really useful and you know everyone. The su is fairly useless with the bar not having anything on tap or any alcohol for several weeks and travel to or from the campus is just annoying.
Study online give me opportunity to have a good learning together with my duty to care my child and work.It s also a good opportunity to improve my knowledge and learn all I need to became a manager, and the practical part give me opportunity to apply my knowledge I state on lectures. AMAZING university and amazing teacher.

Best: class is very interactive and lecturers are really talented while lecturing. Worst: the hot weather over summer and the poor facilities (no AC) are making the lessons impossible to be enjoyed

During the time I spent at the University, I was really satisfied with the premises because they are kept very clean, it is warm and the environment is pleasant, when I go there to study, I feel good. Of course, the lecturers present in different ways, and I am aware that my contribution is the biggest part and I try to do everything to get my degree. My worst experience was during last year when there was online education and the relationship with the student services was always strained, there were many communication problems, in addition to this, I had two subjects whose lectures reached a degree of boredom that is equivalent to suffering during online education, that I could hardly stay awake during the lessons.
The university is good. But there are many features that can be improved.
I like that the University strives the best for its students, there is support for us at ,literally every corner of the building, staff is really helpful and i can feel the care for students and the wish that everyone reaches their potential. At UWTSD you do not learn only if you do not want to. Tutors are really helpful, expalin the tasks accurately, lectures are easy to understand and fun. I learn best from an alive lecture.
The university employees are very supportive, patient when students don't understand something and pretty clear in communication.
The support it provides, and easy to reach, like wise instant respond. There is always room for improvement, like giving information in time for students to get prepared. The management in regard to teaching and support is very good. More resources are provided for student learning, and additional support are always provided.
There is a welcome and friendly atmosphere. You never feel like you can’t ask for help! Getting issues with financial aid sorted can be an issue.
The lecturers are very understanding, show genuine concern about your well-being and try their best to accommodate everyone based on their circumstances. There are instances where the WiFi gives trouble but the IT department has already spoken to us to let us know they are working on a solution and give alternatives to hardwires in the meantime. I really have no complaint as once you raise a concern or issue, the uni works on having it addressed once within reasonable measure. They try their best to make being away from home easier by making the transition as smooth as possible, from the accommodation, facilities, and dedication of their teachers (at least in my encounter thus far) to financial, study, well-being, and entrepreneurial support.

The uni’s facilities are really good. Lots of computers dotted about the place as well as study spaces where you can work on your laptop. There’s a nice cafe on campus which is a little pricey but has a varied daily menu for hot food. The library has a great selection of physical/e-books but my favourite feature is its study rooms which you can book out and are great for bouncing ideas around or working. The campus is a little clinical in its design — mostly just computer rooms — which doesn’t feel very artsy, but it’s obvious that a lot of money has been put into the place and depending on where you are on campus, you can sometimes get great views of the sea! Student support could be improved. I feel as though there maybe aren’t enough members of staff to accommodate everyone swiftly and have at times felt like I’d been forgotten when raising queries. In terms of what’s contained within the uni itself, student life is a little lacking. There’s no student union bar or anything like that and there haven’t been many events so far. However, that’s not really a problem because Swansea itself is a great place to live as a student. Basically whatever type of night-out (clubs, bars, pubs, etc.) you want is an option. There’s also a ton of cool coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, charity/vintage clothes shops and obviously there’s the beach which is surprisingly nice.
