Campus Living
Swansea University’s two campuses are on the beach, and close to the city centre of Swansea, Wales. International students can even take a virtual tour!
Nearly all rooms on campus are single occupancy, meaning international students each have their own space. In residence, a network of student volunteers called ResNet supports resident needs and runs regular events.
Swansea’s student union offers countless student events and services, from shops and bars on campus to a free and confidential Advice and Support Centre. Students can also find more than 50 sports teams and 150 different societies to make their time at university even more memorable.
Life as an International Student
Swansea is a vibrant and diverse university, with staff and students from over 130 different countries. The school runs a meet-and-greet service from London’s Heathrow Airport, and provides all new international students with a full orientation program to help them get to know the university, Swansea, and the region.
To support its international students, the university also has an initiative called International@Campus Life. This team of immigration specialists is available free of charge for any questions international students have about studying in the UK. They also run an International Welcome Day, social activities, events, and monthly trips.
