Swansea offers a fantastic range of facilities across its campuses, including several well-stocked libraries (open 24 hours a day), cafes, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, banks, two auditoriums, the Richard Burton Archives, and several dedicated postgraduate study areas.  

The university is also home to the Swansea Bay Sports Park, which houses a 50m national pool, athletics track, gym, pitches, climbing wall, squash courts and much more.  The Wales National Pool was even used as a training facility for several professional athletes who competed in the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics.  

Swansea's stunning beachside location also provides students with the opportunity to try a range of outdoor activities, including paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing and surfing.
 

Swansea has a diverse and vibrant postgraduate community that includes over 4,000 students. You will have many opportunities to meet students from across our faculties and  get involved with postgraduate activities and projects outside of the classroom; including our PGR Showcase, Three Minute Thesis Competition, PGR Society and Research Groups and Centres.  

Swansea has an international reach with staff, students, partnerships and research links stretching across the globe. With students coming from 130 countries, Swansea is one of the friendliest and most diverse places to study.   

Both of our campuses are located next to the beach and are within easy reach of the city centre, which offers an array of restaurants, bars, shops, and leisure activities. Venture a little further and you can unwind in the UK’s First Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—the Gower Peninsula—and relax on award-winning beaches and discover unspoilt countryside.
