Summer School Review - Megan Davies

"From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by friendly staff and students who shared their experiences of Swansea Uni with me. We attended discipline-specific sessions that helped me understand the similarities and differences between the different engineering disciplines. This was extremely helpful as it enabled me to decide which type of engineering would suit me best. Fast forward four years and I am close to finishing my course and looking to graduate this summer from Swansea University with a BEng in Medical Engineering. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of applying to give it a go and make the most of the opportunity!"

Student review

"I really enjoyed and I have a much better idea what I would like to study. I feel much more able now to approach the UCAS process. I also have a better idea of how to set about tackling the personal statement process."

Parent review

"Thank you for the very worthwhile 4 days that my son spend with you at your Summer School. He found it really useful and said that it has given him clearer ideas as to what he wants to study at University. It also gave him a very positive taste of university life." 

Parent review

"A most massive thank you to you and your colleagues for hosting the summer school. Our daughter had an absolutely brilliant and instructive time. So much so that her existing UCAS plans are now under serious reconsideration!"

Student review

"I wanted to express my heartfelt thank you to you and the team at Swansea University for an incredible experience at the Medicine Summer School. It was truly a memorable and enriching experience and all the organisation of the whole program was amazing. Thank you again for providing a wonderful experience.”
