Hi, I've applied for Zoology at Swansea University as an autistic mature student. I've been to an Open Day and loved it. Really hoping for an offer of some kind.

Ive got an offer from Swansea to do Chemical engineering but it is quite far away and ive not been to the open day so still deciding as I want to go to a uni with a big city and great nightlife

Well, Swansea is a city, not as big as some, but it certainly has the nightlife. A lot of students live in the Brynmill and Uplands areas of the city, so that they are close to the University (a walk through the park). The other advantage to this is that the Uplands has become the place to head to on a night out, with a variety of bars and places to eat. In town there is the legendary Wine Street, which if you like that sort of thing, is most definitely that sort of thing.

Received an offer yesterday for Swansea’s applied Medical sciences. I plan on following the pathways to medicine and following completion of this course, going on to study GEM here too!

Anybody else in here applied ? Or anybody else following the same pathway?

Hi! I’m applying to do BSc Computer science starting 2020, but I’m a bit nervous. Swansea is my top choice but the grades I’ve been offered are also the highest (AAB). Whilst I’d love to be positive, I’m super worried if I won’t get them what that’ll mean for uni. Do you know if Swansea are known to lower their grades once the ALevel results are posted or if there’s anyway to lower your grades etc?
Thank you!

I also have received an offer for AAB and believe that to be worrying.

Do you like Swansea? Eg. Are you considering it to be one of your choices?

Hi, don't be worried! there are a number of reasons Swansea asks for those grades, one of which is that its a very popular course and there's a lot of competition for places. Also offers are made on predicted grades, so they are based on what its believed you are capable of achieving. Another reason is we want potential students to aspire to excellence, not least because we we offer an Excellence Scholarship. https://www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/scholarships/excellence-bursaries/

I got a response. I got a conditional offer but it's not really possible to meet the requirements for September 2020 so need to work out my next step now. A little disappointed but not massively surprised.

Over the moon!!!

Congratulations!! I really want to go to Swansea too but I can't yet as they want Access to HE first. Gutted but at least I can still return to learning/college this year and then try again for uni in 2021.

I want to go Swansea, I'm a gap year student, I did Bio Chem and Psychology and got CEB, I am retaking chem and hopefully boost that grade to a B/C. I'm still waiting for Swansea to respond on ucas track, I hope they give me an offer.

Hi. I'm a first year at Swansea. I have 3 flatmates doing engineering, one is aerospace and the others are mechanical. The engineering department here is amazing and brand new since bay campus has only been open a few years. The facilities on bay are amazing and we have the most beautiful library. There's an open day this Saturday so why don't you come and visit and get a feel for the place?

CONGRATULATIONS! Swansea university has a brilliant computer science department, and my flat mates absolutely love this course! I hope you do too! There's an open day on Saturday, so why don't you come over and visit and get to know Swansea a little better?!
