The campus is a wonderful place with everything in walking distance. Halls is on campus which means you can easily get to lectures on time. Courses are always interesting and can be interactive. Lectures are extremely enthusiastic

Campus on the bay has an amazing view but parking is a nightmare. Everything is new but construction is still underway

Swansea is a brilliant university....not only it focuses on studenys academic growth but also included in a huge family where any kind of support is provided...students make wonderful memories through various campus groups...legendary wind street is not far so we spread our social life in the best version.. I am proud to be a Swansea university student and to be a part of this huge family.

The university is easy to navigate, clean, and everyone is friendly. The lecturers are knowledgeable and willing to help no matter the circumstances. When arriving at the university we were reassured and everything explained what was expected of us, what the course would entail, but also what clubs, events that would be available to sign up to. Before starting here it was daunting, but one year in and I love going, t meet all the new friends I have made who I'm sure will be friends for life and learn as much as I can for a future prosperous career.

Great location. Lecturers are always massively helpful and there whenever I need them. Online resources are superb

the campus is very good for engineering. Good equipment from windtunnels to flight simulator.The lecture rooms are good and capable to fit 100 and more people. Only thing is that with engineering, all coursework gets handed nearly all at once so it gets very stressful. the library is big but unfortunately can't cope with the amount of new students studying in the uni.

Very good lecturers who explain things in detail with full examples. Good facilities for both teaching and student life. Located right next to the beach, and a short distance to Swansea nightlife

The Bay campus is modern and has lots to do down on site, including a library to study and sports hall.

I am based on Bay Campus and the only criticism I would have is the lack of facilities such as a student union nightclub (such as Divas) or the small size of the gym. Apart from these the accommodation is amazing with the lecture theatres being a 2 minute walk. I study Business Management which is the best course I could have asked for.

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.

My university is great. My course is perfect with helpful lecturers. Our campus is always buzzing and there's always something going on. Our student union is amazing. They put on pretty dope events and genuinely make things happen for the students.

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.

Every University has its issues but at the end of two degrees at Swansea, I would not change the university I chose. Had a wonderful four years at the uni and will always remember my experience. Singleton is a vibrant campus full of activities and friendly environment. The campus is not that big which often works positively for the uni as no matter where on campus you are it is possible to see a friendly face.

it has a great atmosphere. If you live on campus everything is close by, great facilities. The student union always has something going on so you’ll always have something to do.

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.

Swansea University Bay campus is a beautiful campus in a stunning location, situated right on Swansea beach. Business management in the first year was a course that included a range of modules, however the second year was not for me as things got a lot more complicated and modules weren’t as interesting. The careers service is amazing, someone is always willing to help and get to know you through meetings and appointments to help you find something suitable for you.

Really good teachers and the both of the campuses are right on the sea shore. Lecture halls are brand new and huge. Their resources are endless and everything is really nice and convenient (especially on bay). Both of the universities are close to town and night life is amazing.
