Elen Wyn Jones

The main reason I chose Swansea was the beach as I live in an area where there's a beach 5minutes from each other and that's really peaceful. Also, I felt as if I belonged here from the very start, and I haven't looked back since, I've fallen in love with Swansea, and I most definitely recommend Swansea to others!

As well as the area, I really enjoy my course and thrive on the opportunity of having a good balance of written work and practical work such as media projects or preparing a presentation. I moved to Swansea during the pandemic, so my experience has been unusual, but I've had a taste for what Swansea has to offer and I've made life long friends and have been taught to a very high standard, despite it being on ‘Zoom’.

After I graduate, the first thing I'm hoping to do is travel the world and work in every country I travel to. After this, my ideal job would be a journalist or a television presenter/digital content creator.

Are you/have you been part of a society?

I am President of the Welsh Society and a member of Aelwyd yr Elyrch within the University

Have you lived in halls during your studies?

Yes, last year I lived in halls with other Welsh speakers and now I live in a house in Brynmill.

Have you worked part-time during your degree?

I work part-time as a Student Ambassador and I'm a Digital Content Creator for the University.

Have you graduated or are you a current student?

I'm a second year student.

Do you study in Welsh?

I study all of my course through the medium of Welsh, and I really enjoy the experience. The University offers so many opportunities through the medium of Welsh and we're a really close knit community. Each week, the Welsh Society meetings are the highlight of my week and it's a really important part of my life, both as President and as a member.
