In the south west of Wales, based only two miles from Swansea on the stunning Gower peninsula, a place on one of Swansea University’s many undergraduate and postgraduate courses is a very desirable possession.

With one of the most attractive areas of natural beauty – and all the climbing walking and surfing these mountains and waves offer, the uni attracts a varied, healthy bunch into its student body. Surrounded by parkland overlooking Swansea Bay, the campus is close to some of the best waves in these shores; bringing in the surfing masses. 

The Swansea University has a respectable, sound reputation in teaching, and graduating students have a fine employment record within the first six months of finishing. The city also is home to the a campus of University of Wales Trinity Saint David bringing Swansea up to level pegging with cities like Manchester and Leeds, giving Swansea two impressive institutions with full university status. 

With a hectic nightlife and the notorious ‘Mumbles Mile’ drinking marathon, it’s a surprise students make it to lectures, but public transport around the city make life relatively easy for those seeking academic enlightenment. Swansea Uni itself boasts a dedicated bus service every ten minutes between sites, giving students even fewer excuses for missing lectures.
