Mechanical Engineering at Swansea

Hi there. I have applied for Mechanical Engineering at Swansea was just wondering, what is the Engineering department like? Are the lecturers really helpful? How is the workload? Also, are you happy with your decision to study Mechanical Engineering at Swansea? :P

I am torn between Swansea & Sussex !

Thank you !

I cant really help you on some of this but Swansea has a very good reputation for Engineering. It has just opened the new bay campus at a cost of £450 million and is backed by many leading companies. As an example Rolls Royce has opened a research centre there. There are currently some teething problems as not everything is totally ready but will be by next year. It only opened in September and things like shops, banks and sporting facilities have been slightly delayed.

As far as the difference between Sussex and Swansea Brighton is a larger city with less rain. Swansea has the benefit of being on a beach whereas Sussex is a couple of miles out of town.

Do you know of the mechanical engineering department in Sussex? Could you compare it, if so?

Sorry about all the questions haha, I just wanna make the right choice :P

it is going to be very difficult to find anyone who can comment on both as people will only have been to one or other university. the best you could get is posting on Sussex to get an opinion one there. It would help attending visit days and comparing them. What one person prefers might not be the same for another person
