Swansea - The city by the sea
Student Life
Future scientists, historians, engineers, innovators, and the as-yet undecided..
You've read all about the award-winning teaching and world-class research that happens at Swansea University, now it's time to discover the city - we really do have it all!
From Mumbles to the Maritime Quarter, discover a city with plenty of charm and bags of character. It's quick and easy to get where you need to be especially with the
Unibus
and our popular
Swansea University Cycle Hire Scheme
.
Small city. Big personality.
With only around 300,000 residents, Swansea isn't the biggest city this side of the Severn, but she's got a big personality! From its humble beginnings in the copper industry, this little port city has flourished into a vibrant multicultural centre boasting metropolitan amenities amidst stunning natural landscapes. Whether you like to explore the outdoors, take in a bit of culture, or anything in between, Swansea has a little something for everyone.
That Swansea Feeling
What does 'the Swansea Feeling' mean to you? Hear what it means to Lanvell here
Where bright futures begin
No matter how you get here, you'll feel at home.
Lucy's Swansea Story
Lucy is one of the many students that come to Swansea through clearing. Listen to her experience and why she chose Swansea.
Swansea's music scene
Swansea has an energetic music scene which continues to grow. The city boasts a variety of music venues and plays host to music festivals and events throughout the year, including the
Students' Union Summer Ball
(definitely not one to miss!). Swansea's newest addition is a 3,500-capacity arena in the heart of the city which offers entertainment ranging from music to comedy, to west-end shows.
Arts & Culture
Swansea is a vibrant centre for art and culture. Wander around the Glynn Vivian in town or visit the Taliesin Arts Centre on Singleton Campus. Literature lovers should pay a visit to local boy Dylan Thomas' home too.
No cultural tour is complete without tasting a bit of local life! Follow Wayne and Robyn on their gastronomical journey through Swansea's finest eats on
Foodie Fridays
.
