The new campus is great but I wish it had more sports facilities and a bigger gym. I didn’t really use the students union for much at all. The career services are really good as they set you up very well for you’re year in industry. The lecturers struggled to record lecturers, it only takes one or two training days for IT staff to show them how to do it. Some of the lecturers materials online were genuinely appalling.

Swansea Uni has been a very enjoyable university to study at, and has climbed up the rankings throughout my time here. It is especially good for my course, Biochemistry, which is situated in the 3rd best college of medicine in the UK behind only Oxford and Cambridge. The uni has had a lot of investment into new labs and equipment to achieve the highest standards of practicals and research, as well as money going into the re-development of both Bay Campus and Singleton Campus. Swansea isn’t a terrible city to be in either, and has everything you could need with most shops only a short distance from the student housing.

Of two campuses Swansea University offer, I study on Singleton Campus. The amenities it offers are everything you could need as a student, and acts as a little village for those who attend it. The location is incredibly beautiful, being right next to the sea. Perfect for when the weather is nice. Transport links are also good so if you're looking to go out and about, it's very easy to do.

Super university. I have studied here my Bachelor Degree and had an absolute blast time. The university has many things to offer and the most I loved is how international it is. The main focus of the university is to make the student feel home and give a hand whenever they can. Definitely one of the best universities.

Generally good services and facilities on campus. More space in the library to study would be helpful as the area can get fairly busy.

Swansea university is a great place for students who want to enjoy a care-free uni life beside the beach. The atmosphere here is not competitive and people are very helpful. The Welsh locals here are known to be very nice people. Swansea university has 2 campuses, singleton and bay. In singleton, you can enjoy a more rustic and homely feel while on bay as everything is new, it feels pretty modern.

Swansea University have two campus, I would say new campus is excellent. Everything is new and modern. The only concern is the campus was little far from city center.

Overall the campus is very new and thus I have found are all the facilities. Due to this new much needed university being created there has been many investors such as British airways and tata steel to name a few, these companies allow for brand new state of the art builds, facilities and equipment as I have found out. The course I am studying - Airospace engineering is very diverse and we are alongside many other courses throughout the first year. I find the course very challenging however doable with a large amount of dedication to it. The union is great, helping me meet up with many people during freshers and other such events. There is also many other organisations, clubs and experiences to potentially join however I haven’t opted for any of these as of yet. My dorm mate Lucy however is now leading the LBGT society of the University and is very successful in doing so.

The facilities on the campus are state of the art, all new. Great buildings great location right on the beach. The only issue is the inconsistent buses but that's not the unis fault

ery impressive provisions, with almost everything you need in the heart of the campus: Grocery store, post office, banks (yes, multiple), resto's, coffee bars, cinema, clothing shop, pub, ... home deliveries from different supermarkets are no issue and the housing on campus is very decent, just 100 meters away from the sea.

I love my university, there are two campus', Swansea and carmarthen... The Swansea campus is to die for and is like a mini city and has everything you need. However, the carmarthen campus doesn't have enough tlc (the campus I attend) we need smoothie bars and lovely areas to sit outdoors when it is sunny! That would promote our morale! Although, I love my course and I can't wait to graduate

The location of the uni is great as it’s near the beach so you can just walk to the beach on your break or even to the parks. The university is great with lots of help available and activities to do.

Good facilities & helpful lecturers. However it needs to be more diverse. As there are not many activities for International students and students who represents the Uni are normally chosen if they are British.

Swansea university is a great campus based university. I like the fact that it's a campus and all the buildings and stuff are on the same place. Swansea university is also really close to the beach which is a really nice touch. There are so many great courses available with great ratings and great lectures.

Amazing facilities on campus, plenty of study areas, huge library including archives! Convenient shop on campus (although expensive), plenty of places to grab a bite to eat also. The student Union is known to be one of the best, looks after all its students and listens well to feedback! The history and social policy course I am currently on is also so interesting and has large support given through staff!

The campus is accomdating and designed to be close to the city centre and other locations around and near swansea. Students have a few to visit and can travel using the efficient uni bus service. The availability of the buses are excellent considering the number of students constantly on the move from location to location.

Swansea university... 2 great campuses with brilliant facilities (especially bay, right on the beach) the drawback? Distance. 5 miles between each campus with not the best transport options and expensive buses. Nightlife is amazing People are great Could be a better city centre, but plans are in place for a regeneartion :D

Swansea university is an excellent institution for students pursuing careers in professional job roles. My chosen area of study is BSc Healthcare Science (Audiology) which is the science of hearing and balance taught in human and health sciences college. The University provides placement opportunities which enables students to learn practise and improve their clinical and social skills. The campus may not be beautiful but it is situated in front of a beach which adds to student experience. The facilities provided for students like me are adequate for practice and it enables us to develop the skills ready to practise once we qualify.

Bay campus is amazing! I'm staying there this year and it's incredible. The accommodation is so nice and new. All accommodation is en suite which is brilliant. However I'm studying on Singleton, and the commute is so long. Would be so much better if there was an actual uni bus to take you to uni and back, rather than stopping everywhere. Singleton campus is also much older.
