Came to study in Swansea in 2022 and really enjoyed the city and the university with its library by the sea and friendly staff and lecturers. Very intense pace of study but gave lots of challenges. 2023 was my second year at university and I learnt more in depth and got to know lots of interesting content. For example, I learnt about game theory and databases, and it felt like the process of learning was also learning about history and exploring what people had researched before. This year is the last year of university and begins a stage in my life where I have to choose between working or continuing my studies. The university has given a lot of help such as help with writing CVs, and many meetings to help students. read more

I enjoy most of the course however the units 170 and 175 feel like a strange play on mathematics that at the end of the day seems to have set me back compared to my peers who learnt A-level mathematics and learnt the same theory behind those units just in a way that made more sense to me than anything during those units did read more
