Fun
Small course is great. Very hands on tutors and technicians and access to them, the workshop etc. however the students union is practically non existent and the student services aren’t ideal
It's greta so far! Professors are super firndly and helpful
Social aspect is lacking. Course is the best
My experience at uni has generally been really good. I did struggle with settling in the first year with being so far from home however, the second year has been a lot better. The student life is vibrant and Swansea has been a really welcoming city.
Different environment
My experience at the university has been genuinely great. The student life is lively and welcoming with plenty of opportunities to get involved and meet new people. I did not struggle to fit in or find my place and I was able to confidently get involved with every aspect of uni. The staff are amazing, always supportive, approachable and willing to help. With my course specifically I have had excellent support and guidance throughout. The teaching has been strong and I have felt encouraged in both my education and personal development. Overall I could not recommend it more.
Couple more bathrooms perhaps
Accommodating tutors

1. What makes it such a great place to study? The university emphasizes career ready, vocational courses with strong industry links, works placements, and entrepreneurial support, ranking highly for graduate start-ups. 2. How could it be improve? Answer: Increased Flexibility in Timetabling: Some students particularly those with part-time jobs, businesses, or parenting responsibilities, have noted that timetables could be more flexible.
I don’t have any complaints
Full of artistic people who are very creative. Tutors are always encouraging with their constructive feedback and are always ready to help when needed, especially when it comes to tricky technical things. It could be improved by allowing more access to art supplies so students don’t have to struggle to pay for things that are needed.
More clubs please!
That you can get help when your struggling
The university provides a variety of workshops to learn new techniques from such as the print studios and the life drawing and those have been amazing to experience and use. While the student support is very good I have heard there is not enough staff to go around for the amount of students who need support and so students who need support mental or educational needs sometimes miss out or can't find someone who suits their needs. It could be improved by hiring more support staff for the students.
