Swansea University is proud to welcome bright enthusiastic Kenyans each year across an array of programs from Engineering to Psychology. Our student-run African Caribbean Society is a great network which our Kenyan students particularly enjoy and with a vibrant East-African local community in Swansea, home comforts are also close at hand.
Swansea is ranked in the UK Top 25 Universities (The Guardian University Guide 2023) and 86% of the University's overall research was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent (Research Excellence Framework 2021).
We are a dual campus University, with both of our campuses set in seafront locations and close to the city centre. We pride ourselves on offering a good balance of student life and study environment.
Swansea has a low cost of living, with average rent prices 68% lower than London (Numbeo, 2023). We were also named a UK Top 7 Safest City (Complete University Guide, 2024).
We provide students with support to achieve their academic excellence. Students can take advantage of services available through the Centre for Academic Success to improve their skills free of charge. And that is not all! Our dedicated Employability Academy provides advice and access to jobs and work experience placements for our students and graduates.
"Swansea University is a campus university, not a city university. Therefore it has a lot of amenities both educational and recreational conveniently on campus, which was important to me as an international student. It is also a community university where there are students from all over the world, which taught me about new cultures as well as feeling home at the same time, as there were students from Egypt/Kenya where I come from".
