Swansea University is made up of two beachfront campuses, set along the picturesque Swansea Bay. Our Singleton Park campus, nestled between the beach and the greenery of Singleton Park, is set on award-winning, historic grounds, and our Bay Campus, a short car or bus ride along the bay, sits right on the beach. Our dual campus offering is a great way for students to experience Swansea and offers a friendly and engaging study and living space to students from around the world.

Swansea University welcomes students from over 100 countries to study undergraduate and postgraduate degrees within our 3 academic faculties. The Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science offers degrees in Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery, Paramedic Science, Occupational Health, Operating Department Practice, as well as a range of Healthcare Science and specialist medical degrees. The Faculty of Science and Engineering offers degrees in a range of biosciences and physical sciences, Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. And our Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences includes Management, Law, Social Sciences and Culture and Communication.

All of our courses offer opportunities to improve your graduate prospects and promote advanced learning experiences, including work placements, integrated years in industry and study abroad schemes, and our award-winning Swansea Employability Academy (SEA) is the home of careers advice and employment opportunities to help you make the most of your time at Swansea.

Studying at Swansea University not only provides you with a positive learning experience and strong career prospects, as a student you will become part of the fabric of the city, whether its through sports and local activities such as hiking the Gower Peninsula or surfing some of Swansea’s best beaches, enjoying local cafes, shops, bars and outdoor markets within the student-friendly Uplands, or making the most of our vibrant nightlife including the newly-built Swansea Arena and the famous Wind Street bars and club. And with over 170 clubs and societies as part of our active student union, you’ll find it easy to make friends, try new activities and have fun.

We run a number of Open Days throughout the year where prospective students can meet our academic staff, tour our campus facilities, find out more about our student accommodation options (both on-campus and within the city) and ask current students about their experience. And for those who cannot attend in person, our virtual tour allows you to explore both our campuses at any time.
