Swansea University

The university is great, the lecturers were amazing and the staff overall were always there to help no matter what. I was taught everything that I needed for my future career which is exactly what I’d expect from a bachelor's degree. I’d definitely recommend this university to any future students!

I really enjoyed my experience at university and I have achieved a lot during my time here. My degree was challenging and rewarding. The majority of the staff were very supportive but there were a few who ran modules poorly and did not provide as much support as was required. This did not impact my overall grade but made the lectures and seminars less enjoyable and required independent work to do well.

Swansea University has been everything I had hoped for and more, so not only I did my undergraduate there, but I have also stayed for a Master's! First of all, it made me love linguistics even more, thanks to all the amazing lecturers that taught me over the years. The academic staff at Swansea University is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also incredibly supporting: whenever you don't quite understand something, or you need some extra help with an assignment, their office door is always open and they are always ready to help! Secondly, Swansea University takes care of its students. Whether it is financial aid or well-being support, the university is always ready to step up for its students. I remember one year a friend of mine was expected to pay the deposit for her new accommodation before the student loan kicked in and the university contacted the landlord to negotiate a later payment date. Also, Swansea University provides so many extracurricular opportunities: from societies to sports to internships and years abroad, you name it! While I was studying for my bachelor's, I had the chance to obtain a professional qualification for teaching English to speakers of other languages (CELTA), thanks to which I got some pretty amazing summer jobs, and I even became a Student Ambassador to earn some extra money. And last but not least, Swansea University is in the perfect location: it is officially the closest university to the beach and it is not far from the Gower, one of the most beautiful places in Europe. One of the things I love the most about Swansea is that I can have BBQs and bonfires on the beach with my friends and that I can run along the seafront. And the nightlife is great too! There are so many different clubs, pubs and restaurants, and going out is never boring or too expensive. Swansea University has a lot to offer and studying there was most definitely one of the best decisions of my life!

Social life has been one of the highlights of my university journey so far. I found it quite easy to make friends. Nightlife is also easy to engage with as most of it happens on the same street in town and it isn't scattered around the city. Academically I am happy with my course and I have found help easy to access whenever I have needed it. I feel like you can always go further if you want to in terms of learning which I find encouraging.

I’ve had a good experience overall at Swansea this year. The MA TESOL course was well organised for the most part, and most lecturers were approachable and knowledgeable. I don’t have anything to say about accommodation or the student union / social aspects of the uni since I wasn’t living on campus or particularly Involved with societies etc. That being said, the uni seems to have a lot of facilities, clubs and events for students. The library is very good, and the library staff are very helpful. Due to COVID-19, there were some hiccups with regard to the transition to online teaching and some other smaller issues that perhaps could have been dealt with earlier than they were. I recommend Swansea Uni to anyone who’s hoping to study there.

Swansea University is a great place to study, and for the full student experience. It’s in a great location, with access to the beach, and in the town centre there are plenty of clubs, pubs, and bars. There’s a wide range of societies, with something for everyone, which is a really great way to get involved and make friends. I tried a few societies, and was on a committee for one in my third year, which definitely helped my organisational skills, and I met so many new people! The lecturers are clearly passionate about what they teach, and always helpful. The course was as expected, we covered a variety of topics, and were able to choose from a wide range of modules in the third year. I loved my time at Swansea University, and I’d go back if I could!

I completed my undergraduate degree at Swansea Uni and I am currently finishing my Masters degree there as well. It has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers are both knowledgeable and incredibly approachable. Singleton Campus is great, 10min walk to a massive beach and parks all around. I am very happy about deciding to move to Swansea and study at Swansea University as I have been welcomed from the start.

I normally wouldn't give such a high rating for anything, then why did I give a 5 star rating for Swansea University? Well, for a couple of reasons : 1)Swansea University is a university that cares about you. Whether it's your mental health or other issues, the university understands and tries to help you out if your performance is being affected. 2)The faculty and staff are very hard working to ensure you get the knowledge and skills to get that edge in your career. 3) Tie-ups with industry leaders like Tata Steel and Boeing ensure gives you a competitive edge over other applicants for a job at their company. 4)Swansea University is a small university compared to other giants, but during the COVID 19 Pandemic, the university has risen to the occasion and decided to help us out in a way that our performance until now won't be heavily affected due to the disruptions after hearing the voices of its students. I am very proud of my University

The teaching staff are really nice and enthusiastic with their teaching. They're always willing to help and answer questions. The collection of books in the library is quite rich. The overall atmosphere is very pleasing, and the surrounding area is really calming since the Singleton campus, where I attended all my lectures and seminars, is located in a park.
