Support

Nursing is a challenging course, and at Swansea University, they offer a lot of support to help you qualify. There is accommodation on campus, which makes it easy to get to lectures, and the Swansea nightlife is amazing.

Geography and Environmental Studies, Year 1

(5)·By Amelia·Geography· Oct 2018
My flat mates are the best thing about coming to Swansea. I've made so many new friends and the people here are lovely. The beach is so close, the sports village is amazing and the SU offers a lot to all of us. My lecturers are clearly passionate about what they do and are very influential on us students. The accommodation is perfect, especially because it is on campus and so close to everything I need as all facilities are just a short walk away. The staff are always ready to help and fix problems almost immediately. There are so many great societies to be a part of which I love! Wind Street is also famously an amazing night out!

Swansea University Review

(5)·By Gwen D·Applied Medical Sciences· Jun 2023
Firstly the accomodation is great! There are a wide range of options eg if you wish to live in single sex/ mixed sex/ quiet flats etc. The university is very accomodating and welcoming and the staff are always patient and willing to give extra help. The way they have organised module work and recommended reading etc through 'canvas' is also very organised and extremely easy to navigate. It honestly couldn't be better! The facilities in the university are beyond what I expected. I always look forward to my lab sessions due to always being introduced to new equipment that is used in recent world-wide research. It's truly fascinating! The social life is also great, with town being closely located to both campuses and the prices of tickets and drinks being reasonable for a student on a budget.

Positive experience

(5)·By Hannah Y·Medical Technology· Jun 2023
Despite the pandemic still affecting the course, it was still a very enjoyable experience. I gained valuable experience using hospital equipment such as an MRI scanner and CT scanner. As well as this, the module lecturers were mostly made up on hospital workers that specialised in areas that the module was based on. This ensured that all our questions were able to answered and we always provided with the most up to date and accurate information.

The accommodation was also very positive, and located within in minutes walk of lectures and the hospital.

The swansea university campus is built on the swansea bay. Most of the people know swansea as a quite, beautiful place. But once you are here, the place is crazzyy. Right from the freshers week, I had started bonding with people and as everyone around were new, it was not a task. There was so much to do when I had come here and I had no idea how my first month flew by.

I always feared of being home sick or being bored or being alone but since I have been here not once I have ever felt like that. My lectures are spaced out and the best part is all the lectures start late mornings. So every possible day I dont have to get up in the morning and catch a bus to the university. Student village is the best place for any student as you can be surrounded by students always. The disadvantage of living at the village is that it takes a toll on your academics.

I find it pretty hard to concentrate and someone or the other is always having a party around. The last minute submissions are also not possible because the buses running on the route can get crowded very often and hence delayed. Swansea has both good sides and bad sides but is for sure the best university.

Psychology / Criminology, Graduate

(5)·By Harriet B·Psychology· Jul 2021
Fun, sociable and exciting. There were so many activities we could get involved in, sober or not :) Clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. Plenty of room on campus for studying, with a wide variety of food options. Covers a wide range of topics thoroughly, and the work load is not too intense Swansea is the right sized city, with a bustling night life and plenty of beaches and activities to keep you busy

Mathematics and Statistics, Year 1

(5)·By Ilayda·Mathematics· Mar 2019
Lost of organised events that bring new students together.. Bay campus accommodation is pricy but worth it if your lectures are at Bay. It's brand new and helps with the transition into the University life. I wouldn't recommend HSV because of the 50 minute journey to Bay Campus.. Library is open 24/7 and very spacious. Classrooms and lab rooms are available to students. There is an on Campus Gym and plenty of socialising settings. Such as the Tafarn Tawe.. Lectures are very informative and organised. There is a course outline which informs students on a daily basis what is covered for those who miss lectures. Lectures are also recorded.. Wind street full of night clubs and bars. Suiting every style.. Study what's best for you.

Aerospace Engineering, Year 2

It was great as there's plenty of places to go out with ur course mates and flat mates, one of the best nights out is at swansea Bay campus is excellent, very secure and safe and very conveniently priced for its features Library at bay campus could be bigger and better but Singleton library is great Lecturers were very supportive and course was easy to follow throughout. It got a bit more difficult cause of coronavirus It's a relatively small city but it's got everything you need and everyone is so nice.

Best decision I have made

(5)·By Kornelia K·Media Studies· Jun 2023
There's so many good things you can say about Swansea Uni. Not only is my area of study fantastic but the location of the campus (beachfront) and the atmosphere just motivate you to get up and go to your lectures in the mornings. The opportunities and the overall course has been amazing, from the lecturers to actual module delivery. If you want a great uni experience, Swansea is the place for that.

Medicine, Year 2

(5)·By Kath R·Medicine· Jul 2021
Very fun I went straight to a house so can't really comment. But I have heard it's good as it's on campus. The flats are big so you get to meet lots of people. Sports facilities are great you can join lots of societies. Libraries are generally good as the librarians are very helpful and the union night out on Fridays is the best. The lectures are very interactive which is good. And the teachers get to know you and how they can help you. The city of Swansea isn't the main attraction for the uni to be honest because it's not picturesque. But the surrounding area (beaches of the Gower) is amazing with must see views.
