Luisa's experience:

Luisa studied English Language for a year at Swansea as part of her degree at the Christian-Albrechts-Universitat zu Kiel.

Being in Swansea and experiencing the UK uni life was wonderful - joining societies (there literally is one for every interest!), learning new sports, going out with your friends, and -of course- studying, make up a great life. I also had the great liberty of exploring Wales. It has so many hidden gems, and it's a truly underrated country!

Paula's Experience

Paula studied in Swansea for a semester as part of her Modern Languages degree in Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz.

The two campuses of Swansea University are located directly on the coastline to Bristol Channel and the seaside can be accessed any time. This is where I spotted the most beautiful sunsets. All the staff members I met were super kind, at ease and ready to give a hand whenever I asked. Swansea offers something for everyone: there are abundant supermarkets, restaurants, shops, cafés, museums, pubs and clubs, and wonderful gardens!

Mariia's Experience

Mariia studied in Swansea for a semester as part of her Politics and International Relations degree in Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University.

When I arrived in Swansea, I immediately fell in love with the ocean! I visited it almost every day to unwind and put my thoughts in order. During my five and a half months there, I visited St Fagins, St David's, Cardiff and London. Of course, you can visit other cities, but I chose ones where there were university excursions or my dream city, London. I also went golfing and surfing with the university and I really enjoyed it!
