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.

Swansea University - great location, lovely teachers.
Hi, Thanks for the review. Swansea is a great place and the location is close to a city but cannot get closer to the beaches if you tried. Singleton is across the road from the beach whilst the Bay campus is literally on the beach. The teachers and staff are there to help and support in any way they can. Del
Good university, helpful staff and an amazing city
Good sea view, nice beaches, but poor in transports.
Swansea University is a great university located by the seaside everyone within the city is very is friendly. As it is small city you will not have any trouble getting around the place. Swansea University of us a lot of support to help students thrive in their courses.
Best place to live for students
Love the university, well organized and the number of opportunities to interact with various people is plentiful. Good range of facilities throughout and helpful staff willing to assist you every step of the way. Campuses are great and bustling too. The only downside might be the transportation options provided. Buses aren't the most reliable and the Santander bikes are quite bugged at times.
Good uni, bay campus is nota great location if you want a social life
Great university with excellent facilities and wonderful support from the students rubicon

Great university, but can be better
Hi, Thank you for your feedback. Swansea in itself is a great place to be - close to the city but also has the parks/beach on its doorstep. We are always looking for feedback on how you think we can improve aspects of the university and you can email study@swansea.ac.uk and we can note your views. Thanks, Del

The best uni for international students.

You can find out what some of our international students have to say about Swansea here: International Student Stories - Swansea University As I was born in Swansea it always makes me proud that visiting students enjoy their time here and recommend the university to prospective students.
It been so good until now, really enjoying uni life
Love Swansea university, it's a brilliant campus with lots of stuff to do
I enjoy the uni but things definitely could be better, best part is definitely the societies as they are so helpful with making good relationships

Good uni. Up to the student how much effort they put in.
Lovely experience and awesome staff, enjoy studying here
Had a unique experience since being here and felt very included although university may have not been for me I felt very welcomed.
Had a Good university experience
The university is amazing and well set out, loads of different societies to suit different people, wifi is not the best at times

Sorry to hear about the wifi, we understand how frustrating temperemental WiFi can be!

It was a nice experience though I didn't get much time to explore the place but had an amazing university life.
Great university to study in! The modules are up to date, the bar and social spaces are ideal for studying and to socialise, and the student Union is super helpful!
The campus is next to the beach, what else to say
Hi, You cannot fault our location, although it is a bad habit that we often take it for granted and only when you end up somewhere else you realise what you had on your doorstep. Lots of fun things to do, meeting up with friends, BBQ's or just taking a walking to clear your head. From an environment view, the university hosts regular beach cleaning events to keep our beaches as clean as possible for us to enjoy. Thanks, Del
Great university. Various societies and clubs available to join with easy access.
I have spent 5 years at the university so far and it has been excellent throughout.
It’s a great place full of fun and bubbly personalities. With lots of friendly staff who’s always ready to help you out with all your queries. Especially the following ones not in any specific order: Amy #£6.66##shuturmouth#, Elaine #Whatsthemagicword##shuturmouth#, Jackie #Paul#, James #AoT##animegang#, Olena #theduragmakesulookdifferet#, O.G Chris (R.I.P, will be missed) #OCDgang# and the new addition to the staff Angharad #, Heydan #Ted Bundy/Tom Holland#, Shay #Coyote#, Nicola #msscompetitive#, Fei #screamoofHello’s#

We're so glad you're enjoying being at Swansea University and itt's especially great to hear that you're enjoying the campus and our staff - we strive to always offer a listening ear and a helping hand. The university does offer a great range of Student Sport clubs and teams for students to take advantage of, we're happy you've found some that you enjoy! They're a great way to meet friends and unwind after lectures. Kind regards, Poppy
Good university and staff in general, would highly recommend
I’ve really enjoyed living here, made so many friends and the staff are so kind!
Very good place and environment, lovely staff super friendly
A good place to study in, the campus is really nice
Time spent and spending in the university is super good, lectures and lecturers are so good.
The Campus is very clean, nice convenient Tesco
I love the Swansea in Swansea university but the university part is killing me. The university is amazing but workload is something else
The whole school has good facilities, especially for student support the school does a very good job
Amazing university where lots of support is provided. Lecturers are friendly and helpful and students you speak to genuinely enjoy their experience here. As a first year I am glad I made the choice to study here as I have had lots of support and any thing I need help with an academic tutor is allocated to us for an any queries or concerns.
Swansea university is a good place to study and has a very good social scene with a variety of societies and a short bus ride away from city centre
100mb wifi, what more could you want in life?
Good amount of facilities and socities.
I love the way it prioritizes student life, there are weekly events and trips geared towards student involvement, I appreciate this level of engagement because it affords me the ability to meet people and explore. TSwansea University’s presence even before I applied was a major part of my decision to attend the institution. I have always felt supported and validated, I have never had a concern about my wellbeing or academic performance that has gone unanswered. c) I enjoy living in an environment that is scenic. Studying in Swansea is amazing because I have access to attractive locations worthy of exploring, Mumbles Pier, Rhossili Bay and Caswell Bay. The beach is also within walking distance and there are endless opportunities to take therapeutic walks.
Excellent teaching. Good location. Good support when needed
Very good experience, very good social
Excellent location, great lecturers and great societies.
Overall good uni, everyone on campus is friendly
Good university, had a fantastic experience.
Great university. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Enjoying my time at University.
Teachers are good, facilities are good
Great looking Campus. Got all the amenities you need. The beach is right by the Campus so anyone can just head on down there for a relaxing walk after a lecture or to hang out.
Don’t know if this applies to the uni, but would prefer it if there were more buses, and better Wi-Fi
swansea as a location is a great place to be, very good uni
Best place for learning and experiencing other cultures as well
Good uni, good profs. Big, beautiful campus by the beach side.
After I finish my three studies, I feel like most of the lecturers are nice and want to help with our studies. It’s my great honor to study at this university. However, it is disappointing that the university agree to give me two reference letters but I only received one. Although I have written an email to complain about the program director that she deliberately reject writing another reference letter, the university chooses to ignore my email. It’s a bad experience.
Solid University. Many facilities and lots of societies to join. The only downside is Welsh restrictions and lectures online however that is starting to be overturned.
Until now my experience with Swansea University has been very satisfying something that leaves me highly grateful.
My classmates and friends really liked it so I feel a little bad leaving negative reviews. WiFi is definitely awful though, my comp sci friend offered to make a better one for them.
This is a great university would recommend it to everyone
The university is very technologically advanced with people from different backgrounds
I have not been academically supported by the law department but the criminology department are very supportive and so is my personal mentor
I love this uni. I believe I picked the best option for the year it was. Staffs and departments are wonderful to say the least. Campus along Swansea Bay can't be beat. Not too crowded of a city and easy access from and to other locations around the UK. The student body and wider community are both freindly and welcoming.
The best place for international students
really cool uni and super helpful if you need help or advice on your course
Honestly did not get to utilise any of the facilities despite paying the full tuition fee. very disappointed.
Swansea is a good place to study because of the place
Helpful staff response from lecturers are quick
one of the best decisions I made was picking Swansea university as one of my university options and accepting to come here. All the staff here are so helpful, especially as someone doing a placement it can sometimes be stressful finding an internship but all the career staff are always here to assist you in looking for jobs and gaining work experience whilst attending university!
Great uni, amazing staff and great location! Made my undergraduate degree unforgettable!
Swansea University, unreal uni to go to, facility’s at Bay Campus are world class for Engineering. Really nice to have the uni by the beach as well. Majority of the students in Swansea are nice to communicate to and always helping eachother
Beautiful facilities with engaged staff that will always help you. Great place to meet people and various events definitely help with that.
The campus im on was built up unnecessarily fast so a lot of errors and omissions where made reducing most of my score, and given the global pandemic the service's offered by the universirt has been limited.
Good school tbf outdoor sport facilities need to be worked on
Bay campus class. Swansea football club is the best club in the country. Wind street is the theatre of dreams.
I really enjoyed my time at Swansea. The sports clubs and societies were really well run. Social life at the university was great and there was plenty to do. However, the on campus accommodation on singleton campus was very dated and run down. Some of the lecture halls in singleton were also run down. However the bay campus accommodation was a lot newer and had better facilities.
Overall I have had an extremely positive experience at Swansea university thus far. Bay campus is very modern, and convenient given that lecture halls are a short 5 minute walk from accommodation. Whilst I have had little engagement with clubs, societies and the student union, the careers service has been beneficial in the attainment of placement opportunities to further enhance graduate employability.
I have had a good time studying at Swansea University
Swansea University has a great campus and facilities and the tutors have really developed me in Area of business Management.
Swansea University is a university that offers a wide variety of opportunities and careers for all individuals. The delivery from lectures are very concise and are always available through email, zoom and office hours to provide any form of guidance. Swansea University tackled the online lectures and examinations extremely well, providing as much information to students as possible, making a calming approach to January and end of year examinations.
Despite the pandemic the uni did its best to offer a valuable student experience. I stayed at Bay Campus with its own private beach which is really good for getting away from all the studying for a while. As for student life, there were lots of online events happening throughout both semesters. The lecturers are very friendly and accesible. Also, there is an employability team within the School of Management that does a great job in helping students get internships, placements or graduate jobs.
Swansea University is the place to be! From the friendly staff and students to the breathtaking views, they’ve got it all. The quality of education is outstanding and the lecturers make learning an enthralling experience.
Throughly enjoy my time here. I have been a student since 2018.
