I’ve had a great experience studying In Swansea. And living at the old way centre makes life much more easier. The Reception team are very welcoming and kind, you almost have accessibility to everything locally, the train station isn’t far and there are bus stops located on every corner to get you in and out of lectures.

Amazed by the environment it creates for students, with lots of fun and social activities. The professors are friendly and encouraging.
The university is very student friendly and although swansea is not the most exciting city there are constant changes and it is constantly growing and becoming a more enjoyable experience for students and different cultures.
One of the best universities in the UK, the facilities are great - being a campus uni means it's easy to navigate. The teaching is great, and it's always been a very welcoming environment.
Most of our course is on zoom.
I have enjoyed my experience in Swansea Uni. Sometimes the communication has been poor which is frustrating. Otherwise I have had no problems
as a fresher i was happy with the support provided to the university for those starting university life
Great uni by the sea Lots if different ways of teaching and additional courses that help with your studies
Swansea University has been a good place to meet new people and have fun whilst gaining a degree.
Close to the beach, the lectures are a bit slow and boring in some parts. Most lectures are online and would prefer them to be more interactive
Such a great campus with so much on offer for students. Always lots of events going on and people to help you wherever you are.
Lovely university in a smaller seaside city. The staff and faculty members are very helpful and flexible, especially if you have a more uncommon situation.
One of the best universities so far
Swansea University is the perfect university for your studies. They have state of the art facilities, incredibly knowledgeable lecturers, good choice of halls, an amazing library and not to mention it’s right on the beach! The whole uni feels like a “we’re in it together” vibe and therefore everyone is like family. If you need additional support with essays, placements etc the university staff are on hand and are super supportive. Come to Swansea!
Good Uni and the faculties are also highly qualified and supportive.
The main campus is an easy walk to town, beach and park. The facilities are good with a small shop, cafe and hot food vendors around. Good library and teaching spaces, but no student parking on campus
Needs to spend money for staff and students.
Brilliant university with amazing lectures/lecturers. However, basic and slightly outdated facilities
The staff have been extremely helpful in getting me through my course. We get frequent updates about what’s on in and around campus which is nice, and have access to plenty of services on site
I highly recommend Swansea university to all students
I have spent over Three months in the university, it's an exciting environment with day needs at hand , friendly lectures, good facility for learning and exciting locals , I feel home miles away home.
Great university to attend, should be more highly regarded!
Very large campus, sign posted well, many facilities to accommodate everyone!
Plenty of facilities on campus to help with any area of study. Great location; close to seafront and parks. Lots of societies
Overall a good university. However, I feel that they need to accommodate students that drive. The parking charges have increased for local car parks, as we are not allowed to park on campus…I know students that aren’t turning up to lectures due to this.
Great facilities, the library has good resources and the staff are always ready and eager to help
Fairly good facilities, poor food options and often very long queues meaning lunch can be spent waiting. Good wifi, overall an average uni
One of the best universities to have a masters at. Other than the rainy weather everything else about it is perfect.
Im having the best years of my life here honestly, everyone is so warm and welcoming and kind
average university, nowhere really to sit inside when not in lectures just a big hall, overall disappointed in my experience. wifi is always poor so struggle to do any work on-site.
What stands out to me is the Career services. When finishing undergraduate study, i had the desire to try something new. They were fabulous in pointing me in the direction of the Physician Associate studies which changed my life.
Very good university, with lots of opportunities to offer
The campus is constantly being improved and updated and has lots of great facilities and an excellent location, with improvement it could be amazing
High efficient communication team and supportive atmosphere My favourite place is the library and whenever I have a question they'll be there Its the best option for international students
Swansea university is a friendly and supportive place to study where lecturers are kind and knowledgeable. It is super close to the beach and has lots of facilities. There is a gym local to campus big enough to facilitate students and the night life in town is enjoyable for all types of student. There are always plenty of SU events on and career support when thinking about what to do in the future. Overall a great place to study if you enjoy nature and getting out of the house in your spare time.
Throughout my first two years here the university has been nothing but a good experience, and the support with entering third year has also been great. I’d recommend coming here to anyone who loves wales and the beach and a good community feeling at university
Swansea is a good university, lots to do and the club selection is great!
I have had really great experience so far. Swansea University is one of the best universities in the UK
I think my experience may be severely biased because of covid. My 3rd year was so different compared to the first two covid years which were generally terrible. Unfortunately, my 3rd year was too busy to enjoy societies and other events
Helpful staff, easy and convenient layout of campus
I’ve had a great time at Swansea. All the other students are so lovely and we all help eachother out
The uni doesn’t care about the social spaces for the students and keeps getting rid of what’s there to build other stuff
Great university, lots of activities and opportunities going on all the time
Uni has been a great place to explore new things, culture and gain up to date knowledge in their respective fields. Its an honour to study in such a reputable university and that standby the students in all aspects
Having came to Swansea to study from Northern Ireland, I knew no one but the university and its staff and students where so friendly and I found it so easy to settle in and make friends.
Phenomenal, amazing views, bay campus is to die for. Singletons campus amenities are incredible
My university experience is delivered through self directed learning and classroom based every other week while I work the remainder of the week. Swansea University has supported me to no end to promote my learning and towards my goal of becoming nurse.
I feel so supported here, I’ve been able to explore so many hobbies and interests, plan for my career using the Careers services here and I feel very looked after by the Student Support team. My lecturers are passionate and enthusiastic and I have a great time here.
Best university with high quality teaching systems and education materials, the library is nice and wide and the student union is impressive.
At the start found it hard to get help finding out about anything.
Amazing staff, faculties, union, city, and most of all an unrivalled university community!
Very fun uni with good sense of community
Swansea has been absolutely amazing- my lecturers and course mates were brilliant and i couldn’t have had a better experience
Pretty standard uni. If you’re not sporty there’s not much here. There are non sports clubs but very small and very seldom is there a night out or event
Nice place to study, great to be by the sea. Great balance of city and countryside close by. Excellent society provisions, something for everyone!
One of the best university in uk. Excellent, supportive and friendly staff.
Swansea University is really great and inclusive. It is expensive to stay in the UK but student union supported students through providing essentials to curb the current cost of living. One or the other events keep happening at the campus. Above all encourages to work together for the cause of sustainable future.
Great experience I would say if you don’t live on singleton campus there isn’t a lot of opportunities to get involved in activities and clubs that’s something the SU have committed to improving though.
Lots of opportunities for course specific development - volunteering, internships, summer programs, placements, graduate programs. Lecturers are incredibly friendly and helpful. There’s so much support available. Absolutely loved it
So far my university experience at Swansea has been amazing. The teaching staff and staff in general are all extremely nice and friendly
It is a good university with very strong student support. The lecturers are very friendly and approachable. The university also has ample spots to hangout or grab a bite.
Great place to form friendships and a great place to learn. However, if you are undertaking a degree where you require placements, you may find yourself disappointed and disheartened. Placement teams need a total overhaul, they need to be more supportive of people’s situations, have a more caring attitude with students, and a way around satisfying students choices. I hope in future student nurses in particular are not treated so poorly by this team.
It is a university I would recommend to any person interested in friendship, belonging and diversity in a higher institution.
Excellent support for cost of living crisis, set up by SU and really shows they care
very nice and enjoyable and great university
A good university with a welcoming campus
Main good areas, but singleton campus needs some serious work on very basic things like some of the toilets are unusable and in unhygiene
Swansea University is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The university has allowed me to explore my full potential when it comes to education and has given me the chance to exceed in ways I never imagined. The Campus is located in one of the most beautiful locations in Swansea it’s a place that has allowed me to heal and just absorb everything in. Another thing I will say about Swansea University is that they go above and beyond to support their students. The amount of support I have received also from Swansea University has been insane. WOW! the university has made me feel whatever I have to say matters and has supported me in ways I cannot describe and for that I am truly grateful.
Great university with friendly and helpful staff
Swansea university is just amazing. They drive to increase student engagement and build a community that every single person will feel welcomed. The campuses are good and well equipped and I would recommend
loads of events to engage in, feel supported by my lecturers most of the time
A good university with a wide range of societies and lots of events running. Professors are really passionate about their lectures.
Best uni i have seen, best place to chill and study
Simply the best, been incredibly helpful throughout my years studying there

Good university with adequate facilities and good teaching staff
I appreciate your support and assistance.
Good Uni, friendly people, lecturers are very helpful and approachable and the uni is in a brilliant location across from the beach!
I can see a lot of investment from the university into the student experience in the last few years
Would be better if we had a proper student Union like cardiff, a club. Means all uni students can socialise in one space
Amazing lectures full of interesting topics and modules
its one of the best university to study and have a nice sea view.
Both campuses are great and have their own positives
A beautiful campus, only fault is the Wi-Fi which is difficult to access and slow. Facilities are good and library is well stocked
The course is great and the teaching staff are really helpful
Good university, staff super helpful
Amazing university for an aspiring strategic student
Campus and facilities are good in the university but there is no help when you require it.
Overall a positive experience.
