Swansea University is renowned for its excellence in research, teaching reputation and delightful seafront location. Established in 1920, the university has been a provider of quality education for 100 years and was awarded University of the Year by Whatuni in 2019.

The university comprises seven academic colleges distributed across two campuses, and offers a huge range of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral degree options, as well as opportunities for research positions and studying abroad.

The university has two campuses in Swansea. The Singleton Park campus enjoys a stunning beachfront location and is surrounded by leafy parkland, which is perfect for sports, recreation and socialising. The Bay campus, also located next to the beach, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and has fantastic business partnership links. Each campus is a short walk to the bustling city centre, which offers a variety of amenities and attractions as well as a lively nightlife scene.

Swansea University is known for cultivating a supportive and inclusive learning environment, with excellent tuition and expert faculty staff. 

Swansea University students on Whatuni say:

“A really nice laidback uni in an amazing place with beautiful beaches and great nightlife. They have handled studying remotely really well and I couldn’t recommend enough.”

“I really didn't know what to expect when I started my degree. The course tutors and lecturers are always happy to help and respond quickly to correspondence. The facilities and course material are second to none, readily available and easily accessible. The campus is in a really nice location, with good links to the city. Even as an off-site student, I still feel a really integral part of the university and am enjoying every minute of my studies.”

"Swansea University has been an incredible experience all round. The care and compassion they have towards every single student is second to none, and this makes students feel heard and involved in the community. The atmosphere is so friendly, and it is so easy to settle in. The clubs and societies are accessible to all and strongly encourage mass participation.”
