Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Boyle.
My very first academic role was as a young lecturer in the Department of Geography at Swansea University, and I can say with confidence that the quality of the education and of our nurturing environment here is hard to find elsewhere.
Our University has transformed since we were founded over a century ago, but our principles remain the same. We are a diverse and inclusive institution, and are proud of our staff and students from all corners of the world. We put our people first, and our international students contribute greatly to our vibrant, welcoming student community.
We are committed to providing a fantastic learning experience, complete with tailored support and expertise that ensures our students become the highly-skilled industry leaders of the future. Our teaching is shaped by our purpose-driven research and we offer a range of student support services, including our dedicated International Support Team. Now more than ever, the safety, wellbeing and success of every student is at the heart of all that we do.
Our campuses' enviable position on the beautiful Swansea Bay provides easy access to the beach, and our Singleton Park Campus is set against a backdrop of rolling parks and botanical gardens. Together, these offer plenty of opportunities for social interaction within safe, open spaces in a small, friendly city.
We are proud of our global recognition, having been ranked in the top 300 universities in the world, in the latest QS World University Rankings, a testament to our academic commitment and excellence.
I hope that my faith in our University is clear, but don't just take my word for it - please explore our guide to find out more.

Why Swansea?
From campus to Beach in minutes.
Swansea University is located on Swansea Bay; a beautiful five-mile stretch of beach that is easily accessible from both campuses.
[photo of divers group of students walking through the sand dunes by the Bay campus.]

[page 5]

Endless Adventure.
We have the Gower Peninsula on our doorstep (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The Gower has over 20 beaches to choose from, meaning you'll have plenty of opportunities to learn to surf, paddleboard or kayak.
If you prefer dry land, there's also a six-mile beachfront path that passes right outside Singleton Park Campus, perfect for using our Swansea University Cycles or going for a relaxing walk.
[photo of Rhossili beach and the rocky outcrop of ‘Worm’s Head’ at the edge of the Gower Peninsula with a paraglider soaring above the cliffs.]
A Low Cost of Living.
The cost of rent, food and entertainment in Swansea is lower than it is in many larger UK cities [* asterisk], so you may find that your budget stretches further due to the lower cost of living.
[* asterisk] Rent in Swansea is on average 64% lower than London and on average 17.6% lower than Cardiff (numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/ Swansea).
[photo of students in a shared kitchen.]
One of the safest and happiest places in the UK.
A recent study ranked Swansea as the happiest university in Wales and the third happiest in the UK (Resume.io). Swansea has also been named as the 7th Safest City in the UK, and the Safest City in Wales (Complete University Guide 2024).
[photo of students in a games arcade]
A friendly Welsh Welcome.
You'll discover the warmth of a Welsh welcome in Swansea - a place known for its friendly and inclusive atmosphere. This is one of the main reasons why Swansea becomes a 'home- from-home' for so many

Discover Wales.
Discover Swansea.
Swansea and the Local Area.
Swansea University has two campuses, the Bay Campus and Singleton Park Campus. Both are conveniently located close to the city centre, and just a short walk from the beach.
Swansea is a medium-sized city with a modern yet relaxed feel. The city is in a period of exciting development, attracting a significant amount of investment that has seen the opening of a new 3,500-seat arena, with plans for a digital district to be created as a hub for business innovation.
[photo of student on a bike on the cycle path stretching along Swansea Bay]
Wales.
is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom (UK). Wales has its own language - the oldest living language in Europe - and the University offers discounted Welsh lessons if you would like to learn!
Wales has an abundance of castles to explore, mountains to climb and delicious local dishes to try - the perfect antidote to a long week of studying. If you would like to find out more about things to do in Wales, we recommend that you explore: www.visitwales.com/

Culture and the Arts.
Swansea is a vibrant centre for art, with the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery recognised as the city's main venue. All national museums and art galleries in Wales are free to enter, so you can learn all about Welsh history and culture at your leisure, or you can join one of the many trips organised by our Students' Union.
[photo of performers on stage]
The Taliesin Arts Centre.
The Taliesin Arts Centre is at the heart of Singleton Park Campus and hosts regular performances, shows, comedians and cinema screenings. The building is also home to the award-winning Egypt Centre and its collection of over 5,000 artefacts.
Music, Festivals and Major Events.
  Wales is famous for being the 'land of song'. As a student here, you won't be disappointed by the variety of music available across the city, from intimate live music venues to the Swansea Building Society Arena, which hosts international stars.
  The area also attracts a variety of major events throughout the year, including the IronMan 70.3 race, the Swansea Bay Air Show, often attended by the Red Arrows (one of the World's best aerobatic display teams), and the Swansea Bay 10km and Half Marathon races, which all bring a vibrant atmosphere to the city.
Shopping.
In Swansea you can shop major high street brands in the city, independent boutiques in Mumbles, vintage clothing in the Uplands, or you can even explore Wales' biggest indoor market, which is full of stalls where you can pick up a tasty treat!
[photo of Swansea city centre; photo of students shopping]
More Poetry is Needed.
The city by the sea has a poetry all of its own. Swansea's most famous son, Dylan Thomas said: "Swansea is still the best" and the poet's legacy is found throughout the city from cafes and pubs to parks.

Work while you study.
Working in the UK can not only help you manage your finances but also provides you with a chance to enhance your skills, expand your network, and enrich your overall educational journey. Most student visas will allow a certain number of hours' work alongside your degree, normally 20hrs per week during term time and full-time during vacation periods (please check your visa for your exact personal allowance).
  The biggest sectors employing students for part-time work in the UK are retail (shops and supermarkets), catering (bars and restaurants) and social care (care homes). Large employers will ask you to complete an online application form on their website, but many independent businesses hire individuals that pop into their venues in person with a CV.
Finding graduate work.
Staying in the UK to work is an aspiration for many international students. The process of finding this work can be long and unfamiliar, but employers are looking for new ways to find the talent they need to grow their businesses. So don't worry, we have plenty of tips for you to enter this competitive market!
  And remember, our expert Careers Advisors are here to support you with lifelong careers advice and guidance throughout your studies, and post-graduation, through our Graduate Support Programme.
Routes and visas.
Good knowledge of your visa and potential routes will empower you to have effective conversations with future employers. Many hiring managers have experience of hiring internationally, but others will be relying on your knowledge of the UK immigration system. Most individuals will have two options: skilled worker visa and graduate visa (also called post study work visa). See our short guide to understand the differences between them.
  Note: Visa information changes on a regular basis, so always check gov.uk for the most up-to-date information gov.uk/browse/ visas-immigration

"While studying at Swansea University, the Sports Scholarship allowed me to pursue two career paths simultaneously. I fondly remember my time at Swansea and particularly a Varsity win. In the future, knowing a career in sport doesn't last forever, I won't rule out returning to further my qualifications."

Year or semester abroad.
Some courses allow you to spend a year or semester abroad. The year abroad adds an additional year to a standard degree and you will usually study at a partner university, complete a work placement or a teaching assistantship, depending on your course. The semester abroad usually takes place during the second year of a three-year degree. Further information is available on your chosen course page and also online:
www.swansea.ac.uk/goglobal/
  Please note: enrolment on a programme with a semester or year abroad does not guarantee you a semester or year abroad placement. Spaces are limited, subject to a competitive selection process, and you will need to meet a minimum academic threshold in order to participate. Available destinations and associated programme costs vary. In the event you do not secure a semester or year abroad placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a semester or year abroad.
Summer programmes.
  Summer programmes are open to all students and offer you valuable international experience in addition to your degree. You can choose from cultural, study and volunteering programmes in countries such as Fiji, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and across Europe. See our website for more information about all opportunities:
www.swansea.ac.uk/summerprogrammes/
Funding.

Educational flowchart showing different pathways a student can take after completing high school, progressing to university and undertaking postgraduate study.
Three horizontal sections from bottom to top:
1. Pre‑University (bottom section).
This section begins with a box labelled “Completion of high school.” From this box, an arrow moves right to a box labelled “Pre‑Sessional English”.
Another arrow from “Completion of high school” goes diagonally upward to a box labelled “University Foundation.” From “University Foundation,” an arrow continues upward to join the University Level pathway.
2. University Level (middle section).
This section shows the progression through a typical university degree: There is a highlighted box labelled “First year of degree.” An arrow moves upward to “Second year of degree.” Another arrow leads to the top of this section with “Final year of degree.”
The diagram also shows that different entry points are possible: The University Foundation route leads into the First year of degree. A second arrow from the First year of degree points sideways to another identical “First year of degree” label, showing equivalent entry levels from different pathways.
3. Postgraduate Level (top section).
This section describes progression toward a master’s degree: On the left is a box reading “Successful completion of a 3‑year diploma equivalent to a UK HND.” From here, an arrow leads to “Pre‑Master’s.” A further arrow leads to “Master’s degree.” Another arrow from Pre‑Master’s leads downward to a box for “Pre‑Sessional English,” showing that English preparation may be required before postgraduate study.

Deepak Aryal.
MSc Cyber Security (NEPAL).
Why did you choose to study your degree at Swansea?
  I chose Swansea University because its MSc Cyber Security course felt like the perfect fit for what I wanted to learn and achieve. Unlike the buzz of big cities like London, Swansea offered a peaceful, calm environment where I could focus on my studies without distractions. The coastal location was a huge bonus, studying by the beach was something I never thought I'd get to experience. The university's great reputation and affordable housing made it even better.
How did your degree prepare you for your career?
  My MSc in Cyber Security from Swansea University provided me with the practical skills and knowledge I needed to kick-start my career. The course content was highly relevant, focusing on real-world challenges, which helped me build a strong foundation in cybersecurity. One assignment directly aligned with the technical skills required in my current role, helping me succeed in my job interview.
Your Career.
I work as a Cybersecurity Consultant at Arup, a British multinational professional services firm, in their London office within the Cyber Advisory Team for UKIMEA. My role focuses on providing cybersecurity consulting for critical national infrastructure and built environments, specialising in operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) across sectors such as energy, transportation, railways, airports, public spaces, smart buildings, and data centres.

How is your Swansea experience?
  Swansea's natural environment is perfect for outdoor sports such as walking, cycling and water sports. I often go surfing on the beach or hiking in the nearby mountains with my friends. The people in the Swansea community are very friendly and have made me feel very welcome. Whether at school or in the city, everyone is helpful. As an international student, I also feel the diversity and inclusiveness of the community.
  Swansea University offers a wealth of educational resources and study support which has made my academic life more fulfilling. The libraries, laboratories and study centres are well-equipped and have greatly assisted me in my studies.
There's so much going on at the university, with loads of clubs, societies, sports teams and more. It's a great way to make friends and have fun, while also getting a well-rounded university experience.
Why did you choose to study at Swansea?
Swansea University is all about research, which means that students get to be involved in some pretty amazing projects. The University also offers a whole range of resources for vocational training, academic support, mental health, and so much more. I also received a great support with making my scholarship application, which was very helpful.

What did you enjoy most about studying at Swansea University?
The education at Swansea was amazing; I found my courses challenging and enlightening, and my lecturers were passionate about their subjects and very supportive, so I had a great classroom experience. It was such a great opportunity to study with other international students and lecturers and our different backgrounds augmented and enriched our class discussions.
How would you describe Swansea to other students thinking of coming to study here?
Swansea is a city with a small-town friendly feel - there's a huge international student presence here and always lots to do, so you soon feel part of the community on and off campus. Both campuses are just a 5-minute walk from the beach and only a 20-minute drive to the gorgeous beaches of Gower. You can also easily take a train from Swansea to anywhere you want to visit in the UK. Swansea quickly became my second home and it was so difficult to leave, so anyone thinking about coming should know that studying abroad is completely doable and an amazing opportunity.
