Yeah, I'm going to apply for the Tier 4 student visa. I'm trying to find out if I can work off campus.

I am going to be an international student from the United States and I was wondering how hard it will be to get a job on or off campus?
Hello, a lot of students tend to work on campus for the Students' Union - in their student bar or shop. There are also opportunities to work off campus in Swansea city centre in the many shops, bars and restaurants. There is a limit on how many hours an international student can work, I believe it to be around 16 hours a week. This is something which you can check with our International Student Advisory Service on campus once you have enrolled. I hope this helps answer your question

I am kind of confused about my offer I applied for marine biology but I have done a BTEC rather than a levels. they've asked for DDM plus a b in a level biology. I got D*D*D* in my BTEC but no a level so they have put me onto a foundation year does this meen I have defiantly got the place as I have already finished the qualification. Am currently studying arboriculture not sure if this changes anything (thought it looked an interesting thing to do for a year

Hello, there's more information on the Bay Campus here: www.swansea.ac.uk/campus-development/
There will be 900 rooms on the Bay Campus and an additional 500 more opening next year. The City is about 2 miles away from the Bay Campus and will be accessible via transport links. I hope this helps answer your question!

I don't have the answer to this but it would be easier for people whose courses are on the new bay campus to stay there and for people whose courses on singleton park to stay on that campus or the student village. the road between the campuses is extremely busy being the main road into Swansea from the east and mumbles road has always been one of the busiest roads in Swansea. certainly at peak times there may be delays
I've been told that there are jobs available for university students in the liberty stadium

Just came back from the Applicants Day, and fair to say that I absolutely loved it.
The whole atmosphere was just amazing, the other students were just so friendly and lovely.
I can't put into words, how right that university is for me

First we had an intro talk,then went on the accommodation tour, then wandered around ourselves instead of going on a campus tour because they were going to show us things that we wouldn't really need. The Abbey, is absolutely stunning, it was such a nice day as well which helped me fall in love with it a lot quicker.
Went to the Law open day within that, then they had tea and coffee and we talked to one of the Professors/Lecturers for like twenty minutes before the open day started, we then had a hand full of talks, then a mock lecture which was really fun, felt like I learned something, even though most of it was similar stuff I do at A Level
