About Swansea University
Swansea University has been producing world class research since 1920. We have a long history of working with business and industry but today our research has a much wider impact, reaching across the health, wealth, culture, and well-being of a global society.
We have achieved an extraordinary level of success in recent years with our research activity exceeding that of many larger universities. This, though, has not compromised the friendly and relaxed atmosphere that has always characterised the “Swansea experience”.
As we continue our journey as a 21st century University, we look forward to becoming a truly global institution, focusing on the big issues, and improving lives, while continuing to provide inspirational teaching.

Why Study at Swansea University?
Students can study one or two core subjects they are passionate about, offering flexibility after school. Large lectures introduce key topics, smaller tutorials allow deep discussion. 1:1 sessions with lecturers give direct academic help and guidance.
Graduate prospect data helps students compare degrees for future job. At Swansea, 95% of graduates are in work, study, or travel within 15 months (HESA 2023). Some courses also include a year abroad or in industry, adding valuable experience for employer.
Studying in a new place builds independence. Students manage finances, clean, and make new friends. With help from Student Finance and the Students’ Union, university life develops key skills, and socialising in halls or clubs builds lifelong friendships.
University strengthens key skills beyond academics. Students develop management for independent study, initiative through activities, and communication in group work. Even if careers differ, employers value the transferable skills a degree represents.
Understanding the benefits of university can be key to advising your students on choosing the right pathway, especially if they are the first in their family to consider higher education.
