2025/2026 - Ask a current student!

Aberystwyth University Student Ambassador

Hi everyone,

Are you interested in studying at Aberystwyth in 2025? Got any questions you'd like to ask? This is the thread for you. Please don't hesitate to leave a reply or drop a private message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

My name is Mostafa, and I’m a current student in my final year at Aberystwyth University. I’ve really enjoyed my time here - there’s a great balance between academics and student life. There are loads of societies, sports clubs, activities, and support services, so it’s easy to get involved and make the most of your time.

Aberystwyth is a wonderful place to live. It’s a friendly coastal town with beautiful beaches and hiking trails. If you’re into nature or want a peaceful study environment, you’ll love it here. Plus, the university offers plenty of resources to support students, whether it’s career services, accommodation advice, or just finding your way around.

Feel free to ask me anything - whether it’s about the courses, student life, general information about the town, or even tips for settling in. You can reach out here or send a private message!

Hia,

I apologize for the late response, I have been off university & work for a few weeks after Exams.

There's a Sports Centre on-campus with a range of fitness classes (you can find them here: https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/sportscentre/fitness-classes/), a gym, swimming pool, football court, climbing wall, and more that I am probably forgetting. You get unlimited access to all of these included with your rent if you stay in university accommodation. There is also a Leisure Centre nearby in town (you can learn more about them here: https://www.ceredigionactif.org.uk/plascrug.html) which also offers a swimming pool, racket sports (badminton, tennis, squash), gym, and exercise classes.

I hope this answers your question.

All the best,
Mostafa
