Welcome to Swansea!

Swansea University is proud to welcome bright enthusiastic Kenyans each year across an array of programs from Engineering to Psychology. Our student-run African Caribbean Society is a great network which our Kenyan students particularly enjoy and with a vibrant East-African local community in Swansea, home comforts are also close at hand.‌

"Swansea University is a campus university, not a city university. Therefore it has a lot of amenities both educational and recreational conveniently on campus, which was important to me as an international student. It is also a community university where there are students from all over the world, which taught me about new cultures as well as feeling home at the same time, as there were students from Egypt/Kenya where I come from".
