Aspera Life.
[Photograph of Ashima Anand, founder of Aspera Life.]
  Ashima Anand founded Aspera Life in February 2022 in the third year of her Civil Engineering degree. Her love for plants and plant care developed during her second year of university, whilst using plants to decorate her student house.
  Aspera Life started as an online shop selling house plants and pots, the origin of the name comes from a Latin phrase which means from darkness to stars. In March 2022, Ashima entered Swansea University Enterprise Team's 'The Big Pitch' competition where students present their ideas to win a variety of prizes to develop their start-ups. The judges were excited by Ashima's pitch and she was awarded funding to grow her online business. This led Ashima to expand to have physical presences in the renowned 'pop up' markets throughout the city and open her own shop in one of the city’s hotspots thanks to links the Enterprise Team have with Urban Foundry, who manage a regeneration scheme in the city.
  “The Enterprise Team have been extremely helpful from the start, they’ve supported my business with funding, opportunities to trade both on campus and in the city, which has allowed me to meet other businesses. They’ve promoted my business on the University’s social media channels and beyond and grown the awareness of my business and my customer base faster than I could have on my own. I would recommend anyone starting a business to get in touch with the Enterprise Team, the opportunities have been endless.”
  Ashima Anand, founder Aspera Life.
[Three illustrations of house plants, including: aloe vera, monstera and snake plant.]
The Enterprise Team.
  A University-wide service dedicated to developing your entrepreneurial skills, provide valuable experiences allowing you to test your business ideas in a variety of ways including workshops, competitions, test trading, 1-2-1 business advice, start-up programmes, business mentoring and placements alongside corporate partners with a wealth of industry experience.

Join Our Outstanding Alumni.
  At Swansea University we are extremely proud of our graduates. When you study with us, you’ll join the thousands of alumni who have used their experiences at Swansea to make their mark on the world. Many have gone on to achieve great success in their careers; becoming business leaders, sporting champions, undertaking ground-breaking research, or finding their place in the limelight. Here we share some of their inspirational stories.
Jason Mohammad, BA Welsh and Politics.
[Photograph of Jason Mohammad.]
  Class of 1996.
  Radio and Television Presenter.
  “I knew that Swansea University had brilliant Welsh and Politics departments, so I wanted to study there to be taught by the best. Also, the appeal of the nearby Gower and beaches was a massive draw.
  Being taught by absolutely outstanding lecturers, the friends that I made at university and the many sporting activities that I took part in were defining memories of being a student at Swansea. Had it not been for Swansea University I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
[Transcriber’s note: Here is a link to the alumni’s profile on the Swansea University website. The website is currently unavailable. End of note.] https://www.swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/jason-mohammad/
Rawan Taha, MSc Public Health and Health Promotion.
[Photograph of Rawan Taha]
  Class of 2018.
  Eira Francis Davies Scholar. Humanitarian Affairs Fellow. Climate Change Combatant.
  “As a young scholarly African woman, I was looking for a university that provided opportunities for young leaders like myself.
  My advice to current students is to use university time to go beyond your degree, beyond your thesis and beyond your transcripts. Only then will you be able to get a job and live a life that is beyond your expectations.”
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/rawan-taha/
Alex Ruddy, MBBCh Medicine (Graduate Entry).
[Photograph of Alex Ruddy]
  Class of 2019.
  Stepped up to work as a frontline medic during the Covid-19 pandemic.
  “The prospect of beginning my career as a doctor a few months early filled me with a sense of nervous duty. We trained for this moment for four years - and working towards it for much longer - above the sense of personal fear or anxiety, I think we were all eager to apply ourselves to the crisis and help our NHS during a time of immense need.”

[page 19]

Oluwaseun Osowobi, MSc International Relations.
[Photograph of Oluwaseun Osowobi.]
  Class of 2012.
  Campaigner, Commonwealth Young Person Award Winner, Obama Foundation Leader in Africa.
  “As a master's student at Swansea University, I was keen on not only gaining academic experience, but also professional experience. I was able to get a job within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences as well as in other formal work sectors.
  Since graduating, the proudest moment for me has been founding the 'Stand To End Rape Initiative', experiencing the joy in the faces of the survivors we have worked with. There is an innate sense of accomplishment when the organisation removes a victim from an abusive situation. It feels great to have been honoured as a Commonwealth Young Person of the Year 2019 and an Obama Foundation Leader in Africa.”

Dr Kate Evans, BSc Zoology.
[Photograph of Dr Kate Evans]
  Class of 1996.
  Award-Winning Behavioural Ecologist and Conservation Biologist. Founder and Director of Elephants for Africa.
  “I wasn’t sure whether further education was the right route for me. Thankfully I found myself in the wonderful environment of Swansea University, and on a course I loved and was able to excel at, Zoology."
  Kate founded the conservation charity - Elephants for Africa - which has a holistic approach to elephant conservation, focusing much of its work in Botswana; home to the world’s largest remaining elephant population.
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/kate-evans/
David Smith OBE, MEng Aerospace Engineering.
  Class of 2014.
  Paralympic Gold Medalist.
  “I wanted to study Aerospace Engineering, the staff around the course, the general atmosphere and the beach were the main draw. Some of my favourite memories include the study trips that involved flying, like the flying lab at Cranfield or flying around the Gower."
  Receiving his first Paralympic gold just before fresher’s week, World and Paralympic Champion, David dominates in the sport of Boccia and won his fifth paralympic medal at the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics Games.

We’re Here For You.

[Photo of a student holding a sign saying: Here to Help.]
Settling Into Uni.
  “I remember the first few months at university were the hardest to adapt to. Not only was I ill and wanting the comfort of home but I was quite shy and felt as though I couldn’t connect to my flatmates who all wanted to go out partying most of the time. I am aware that others feel or have felt similar emotions at university but it is important to know and understand that you are not alone and do not have to deal with things by yourself.
  Sometimes, university can feel like a lonely place but having people accept and care about your wellbeing can help to off-set these feelings of isolation. It is also important to note that if you are too ill, you do not have to soldier on and make yourself worse (and feel as though you are in a rut), there are options for medical leave or extenuating circumstances.
  The University offers many services to help students who may be struggling; from in-house counselling and wellbeing services, to pastoral support from staff. There is no shame in using these services and acknowledging and admitting that you may need some additional help and support (as hard as this may be).”

We also offer courses for Welsh-speakers who want to improve their Welsh skills. You can learn in a virtual classroom, or in person, during the daytime or evening.

Go Global.
[Photograph of colourful boats on a tropical beach.]
  Swansea University recognises that enhancing its future graduates’ employability has never been more important. As more and more businesses recruit from a global talent pool, it is vital that you stand out from the crowd with additional skills.
  Employers acknowledge the value of international experience, and students who spend time abroad develop and demonstrate the qualities that employers seek: global and intercultural awareness, maturity, confidence and adaptability to new environments and challenges.
  Studying and working abroad:
•	Rewards you with an international outlook and experience.
•	Enables you to gain confidence and become more self-reliant.
•	Helps you develop independence and initiative.

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:
https://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 internships, cultural, study and volunteering programmes in countries such as Costa Rica, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the USA and across Europe. You may also want to think about taking part in an online, virtual summer programme to develop your employability skills and international network. See our website for more information about all opportunities:
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/summerprogrammes/
Funding.
  There are a range of funding opportunities available to support students who choose to go abroad. For the latest information please visit:

Mikolaj.
  Mikolaj completed a semester abroad in the USA as part of the BEng Aerospace Engineering course.

Lamaa.

  “Plastics, including single-use plastic bottles, are now the most frequently-found type of litter on UK beaches. And you don’t have to look far to find them littering our towns and green spaces too.
  Swansea University is a leading sustainable university and we are delighted to be able to support Refill with our partners in Plastic Free Swansea and the Students’ Union. Our Students’ Union officers have been really busy supporting the launch of the campaign; we’ve now got at least 30 Refill stations located across our Bay and Singleton Park campuses for the whole community to use.”

International First Year.
  For students of business, economics, accounting and finance, we offer a First Year programme with additional resource and support, taught in small classes.

Parents and Guardians.
  We know that the process of applying to university can seem daunting, but we are here to help! By signing up to our parent and guardian newsletter we will help you to understand the university application process and keep you informed of important deadlines, as well as sending you hints, tips and reminders to support your child in applying to university.
  Read our parent and guardian guide to university:

[page 53]

What You Can Do:
  Whatever the outcome, the most important thing to remember is to stay calm.
Research.
[computer symbol]
  With thousands of courses on offer at hundreds of universities across the UK, we’d encourage you to discuss with your son or daughter what it is they want from their future.
  Once they’ve decided what they want to study the next crucial decision is where. It is really important that they pick the right university for them as they will be spending the next 3-5 years there.
Open Days.
[calendar symbol]
  Once your son or daughter has narrowed down their options, we recommend they attend some open days. University open days are one of the best forms of research. They allow you to view the campus and facilities, meet staff and students, ask your questions, and get a feel for the campus. Our open days take place all year round and more information can be found on our website:
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/open-days
UCAS Application.
[application form symbol]
  There are several key dates that your child should be aware of, and it's worth adding these to your diary to ensure that they don't miss any part of the application process. They will be able to submit a maximum of five university courses and they will have to write a personal statement. When supporting your child with their application, remember to discuss their ideas with them and to proofread their statement. See page 54 – How to apply.
Finance.
[piggy bank symbol]
  The costs associated with university can often be a concern for parents but there is funding available which is designed to allow higher education to be accessible to all. Note that UK domiciled students do not have pay upfront and repayments after graduation will be linked to your son or daughter’s salary. See page 48 – Fees and Funding.
Accommodation.
[building symbol]
  Discuss the different accommodation options with your son or daughter to help them make the best choice for them. They could live at home, in university halls of residence or private accommodation. Swansea University has halls of residence at four different locations, and designated areas including: quiet, single-sex, alcohol free, Welsh speaking and mature options. There is also guaranteed accommodation in university managed residences if applications are made before June 30th. See page 24 - Accommodation.
Results Day.
[award symbol]
  Results day can be a really emotional experience. For most it will be a celebration of two years of hard work and securing a place at their first-choice university, but for a few students their initial plans might change. Whatever the outcome the most important thing to remember is to stay calm. There is lots of support and options available and they can still go on to have a fantastic university experience.
Enrolment.
[checklist symbol]
  When moving away from home for the first time, home comforts can really help your child to settle into their new environment. It is important for them to take a few weeks to settle in and find a routine and get familiar with their new surroundings. If your son or daughter opts to live at home, encourage them to join clubs and societies.

What Do You Need?
  Applicants are considered on their own merits and offers may vary, however we guarantee that you will be made a conditional offer for a course at Swansea University [asterisk]. The typical offer is listed on the subject pages in this prospectus as three A Levels, but we are happy to accept a range of other qualifications so please check the individual course pages on our website for more detailed and subject specific criteria at:
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses
  Applicants should normally hold GCSE English or Welsh at grade C (4) or above (or equivalent).
  We also welcome a wide range of other qualifications, plus we are constantly reviewing the acceptability of new qualifications, so if you are taking exams not listed please contact the Admissions Office.
  Students who are able to extend their three A Levels by undertaking additional study, such as any additional A Level(s), or other qualifications, are encouraged to do so. We believe that additional study, in a variety of forms, can help you prepare for the demands of university. We also acknowledge that different schools and colleges offer a different range and number of subjects those not able to do so will not be disadvantaged.
Advanced Welsh Baccalaureate.
  We welcome the graded Advanced Welsh Baccalaureate qualification and applicants will be able to meet our requirements from three A Levels or two A Levels and the Skills Challenge Certificate. A selection of Individual Project Proposals relating to a variety of Swansea University subject areas can also be found on the WJEC website.
EPQ [asterisk].
  We recognise the Extended Project Qualification as an excellent indicator of success on our schemes of study. Applicants predicted grade B or above in EPQ will receive an offer with a one grade reduction. eg, a [sic] offer of AAB would become ABB plus EPQ B. We encourage applicants to describe EPQ research within the UCAS personal statement, particularly when relevant to their intended course and/or career.
Variation in qualifications in schools and colleges in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland:
  We recognise the variation in qualifications to GCSEs, AS and A Levels in England, alongside different qualifications frameworks in Wales and Northern Ireland.
  [asterisk] Guaranteed conditional offers and reductions to candidates offering a predicted grade B in EPQ do not apply to professional courses and normal selection procedures apply. Only available to Home applicants. Full details of our Guaranteed Offer Policy can be found at: https://www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/how-to-apply/guaranteed-offers

[page 55]

What Happens Next?
  When we receive your application, Admissions staff will check that you meet our entry requirements; and assess your personal statement and reference to ensure that you have the experience and skills necessary to study the subject. We will look for evidence of your commitment and motivation, and pay attention to your achievements.
  We’re interested in people who will seize the opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge, and who will benefit most from the Swansea experience. We’re also interested in people who will add value to the sporting, cultural, and social life of our community.
  UCAS will let you know if we make you an offer and if there are any specific conditions. Occasionally, a member of staff from the Academic College or School you are interested in may suggest that you will receive an offer, but this is not a binding commitment – please wait for a formal offer from UCAS.
  After reviewing your application, we may invite you to visit to get to know you better. Meeting prospective students at interviews and open days often allows us some flexibility to tailor our offers to each individual’s strengths.
  If our offer is conditional, you will only receive final acceptance of your application when results are published. If you firmly accept our conditional offer but do not get the results you need, considering your overall performance may give us the flexibility to confirm your offer.

Foundation Year.
What Is a Foundation Year?
  If you don’t have the necessary entry requirements to enter on to the first year of a degree, you can apply for a place on a degree course with an Integrated Foundation Year. This means that you will be studying for four years instead of three. Student Loans will also cover the foundation year.
  During your first year, you will be able to improve your skills and increase your knowledge of the subject. After successful completion, you will continue onto the three-year or four-year degree course and you will graduate with a Bachelors degree, e.g. BSc (Hons) or BA (Hons).
Will Studying a Foundation Year Mean I Am Behind Other Students?
  Not at all – many of our students who have studied a foundation year outperform students who start on year 1 of the main degree. Many go on to get first class honours, are brilliant ambassadors for the University and are highly valued by their department.
  Nathan Pine, a Physics alumnus, graduated with a first class honours degree and an amazing final result of 92%. Nathan was also listed as a co-author on a research paper, alongside his tutor and a PhD student. Not bad for an undergraduate!
Nathan says:
  “I didn’t reach my full potential at sixth form and so over my foundation and first year at Swansea I realised my true priority was my studies, slowly building my grades higher and higher. This gave me a strong work ethic going into second and third year allowing me to obtain very high percentage grades consistently across a variety of modules.”
What Other Skills Can I Learn in My Foundation Year?
  Depending on your subject, you can brush up on other skills that you might need. For instance, if you want to study Physics, but your Maths at A Level let you down, Integrated Foundation Year gives you a great opportunity to get your Maths up to scratch. You will also become more confident in your own abilities.
What Qualifications Do I Need to Apply?
  We consider applicants on their own merits, so offers may vary, but we guarantee [double asterisk] that we will make you an offer.
  This might be in the form of a typical grades offer. The typical offer is listed on the subject pages in this prospectus, but we are happy to accept a range of other qualifications, so please check the individual course pages on our website for more detailed and subject specific criteria at:
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses
[double asterisk] see page 54.

Student Profile – Hope Henry.
  BSc Applied Medical Sciences.
  Current MBBCh Medicine (Graduate Entry) Student.
[Photo of Hope Henry.]
  “I had a big shock on A Level results day when it turned out that my exams had not gone quite as well as I had hoped. Everything felt like complete chaos until I received a phone call from Swansea University, who talked me through my options.
  I accepted a place on the Foundation Year of Applied Medical Sciences, a degree offering me a Pathway to Medicine, as studying Medicine was my ultimate end goal. I can wholeheartedly say that this was the best decision I have ever made - right from that initial phone call, Swansea believed in me as a person and as a student.
  I am very proud to say that following my studies in Applied Medical Sciences, I was offered a place to study Graduate Entry Medicine in Swansea, a place I now consider to be my home away from home. I look forward to continuing my time at Swansea University with the challenge of Graduate Entry Medicine that lies ahead.”

Student Profile – Emma Skinner.
  BSc Economics.
  Graduated July 2021.
[Photo of Emma Skinner.]
  “There is a big focus in schools about studying STEM subjects and particularly in encouraging women to choose STEM subjects at university. However, I feel that more can be done to encourage women to study subjects such as Economics. The subject itself is so interesting and looks at the way the world functions. It can also lead to a variety of jobs in government, in finance or in large organisations, where you can play your part in shaping policies and shaping big business decisions.
  I joined the Faculty's mentoring scheme and it was the best decision I made. My mentor was an Information Manager at Tata Steel and was fantastic at giving me career advice. Experiencing work at such a big, global company helped me realise how everyone’s role within an organisation is important in ensuring the successful running of a business.
  I had such a positive experience at the University. I am proud to have studied Economics and can’t wait to see where the degree will take me.”

My role entailed a lot of discussion around our climate and energy policies, trying to shape the debate on key sustainability issues and giving indications to stakeholders about our thinking. I also had the absolute privilege of working on the Labour Manifesto, writing the original drafts of the climate change chapter.
  The degree I received from Swansea got me through the door to these roles, but it's the love of the subject that I got from Swansea that actually landed me the job in the interview. Gaining a genuine interest in the subject is one of the things that makes Swansea so amazing, many of the lecturers were fantastic and make you fall in love with the subject. So much so, that when you go for interview the passion of the subject really comes across and makes it easier to land any job.”

Journalism, Media and Communications.
Singleton Park Campus.
  1st in the UK – Student Experience, Communication and Media Studies (Times Good University Guide 2023).
  Today’s graduates are not only the consumers of mass information, they are also its curators and creators, and would-be journalists now need to develop their own personal brands within a congested market place.
  The programme's aim therefore is to equip students with a three way analytical, practical and employability skill set that will enable them to more easily enter into the graduate job market.
  As human beings, we spend more time consuming media than any other activity. Only sleeping takes up more of our time. In the digital age, traditional news and media platforms are further supplemented by a huge proliferation of online platforms.
  Choice therefore, has never been greater and quality has never been so variable. In the age of 'fake news' for example, the ability to differentiate objective fact from speculative rhetoric has never been more important.
  The programme is regularly appraised by an industry panel to ensure that it remains at the cutting edge of what employers and industry requires. You will have the chance to attend workshops and seminars run by guest speakers as part of the course.
Typical Modules Include:
Year 1.
•	Delivering and Decoding the News.
•	Introduction to Film Studies.
•	Introduction to Media Communication.
•	Introduction to Media History.

Year 2.

  “I felt blessed throughout my time as a student nurse at Swansea to have had so many opportunities, experiences and support from the University, their affiliations, the staff, my fellow students and patients of our NHS and this all shaped me to be the A&E nurse that I am today.
  As a Welsh speaker, I received the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol Incentive Scholarship, worth £500 a year during my studies, on top of the NHS Wales Bursary that covered my tuition fees. As well as financial support, Coleg Cymraeg also offered me incredible opportunities: I took part in the S4C documentary 'Nurses', was given opportunities to share my experiences as a nursing student with prospective students in schools, and I was invited to speak at a conference on the importance of the Welsh language in leadership. Most importantly, though, I got to continue my studies through the medium of Welsh, which made my experience so much better.”

Student Profile - Emma Treyhurn.
  BSc Psychology and MSc Clinical Psychology and Mental Health Graduate.
[Photo of Emma Treyhurn.]
  “After I graduated from Swansea University with my BSc in Psychology, I knew I wanted to stay to continue my studies.
  I loved that my undergraduate Psychology degree allowed me to explore everything that Psychology encompasses and my favourite part of the course was conducting my Final Year Research Project. My passion lies in understanding the human brain and helping people understand their thought processes, motivations and behaviours and this project allowed me to investigate it in depth. I went on to study MSc Clinical Psychology and Mental Health as I was interested in pursuing a career in Clinical Psychology and am now Organisational Development Programme Lead at University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
  If you want to come to a university that values you as a student, make amazing friends, live by the sea and have some unforgettable nights out, then Swansea couldn’t be a better fit. I loved every second of my time at Swansea. It took my passion and brought it to life and I had the best time - I couldn’t imagine having my university experience anywhere else.”

The following message contains some very important information. This prospectus was printed in the spring of 2023. It contains information on the undergraduate programmes that Swansea University intends to run for students who are planning to start university in the autumn of 2024. We have made every reasonable step to provide the services (including the programmes) described in this prospectus at the date of publication. However, some changes, for example to: programmes, delivery of teaching, study location, international opportunities and destinations, facilities or fees may become necessary due to legitimate staffing, financial, regulatory and academic reasons.

The information within this prospectus is accurate at the date of publication, but is subject to change due to the factors identified above.
  We will endeavour at all times to keep any necessary changes to a minimum and to keep prospective students informed appropriately. Any changes to the information contained in this prospectus will be updated on our website: swansea.ac.uk.
