Welcome to Swansea!

Swansea University has a small but growing student body from Qatar and looks forward to more students joining our vibrant community.  

WHY CHOOSE SWANSEA?

Swansea is ranked in the UK Top 25 Universities (The Guardian University Guide 2023) and 86% of the University's overall research was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

We are a dual campus University, with both of our campuses set in seafront locations and close to the city centre. We pride ourselves on offering a good balance of student life and study environment.

Swansea has a low cost of living, with average rent prices 68% lower than London (Numbeo, 2023). We were also named a UK Top 7 Safest City (Complete University Guide, 2024). 

We provide students with support to achieve their academic excellence. Students can take advantage of services available through the Centre for Academic Success to improve their skills free of charge. And that is not all! Our dedicated Employability Academy provides advice and access to jobs and work experience placements for our students and graduates.

"Swansea is a very welcoming place and a peaceful city. I met new friends from different countries around the world which allowed me to learn foreign languages, try different traditional food, and improve my cross-cultural communication skills."

"I am impressed by how the lecturers have office hours where you can go and talk to them about anything, not necessarily lectures related but any student is able to explore their ambitions"
