Why Swansea University?
There’s more to Swansea University than an extensive range of lecture theatres and meeting rooms, we’ve compiled a list of things we’re proud to have at Swansea University – not forgetting that we’re the only dual campus in Wales to be awarded Green Flags at both campuses.
At the heart of Swansea University’s Bay Campus, stands the flagship building, The Great Hall, designed by world-renowned architect Dr Demetri Porphyrios. This breath-taking venue provides a memorable event experience, offering a 700-seat auditorium with world-class acoustics and state-of-the-art AV facilities. Our Bay Campus is adjacent to a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which we are responsible for maintaining. The dunes, marshes and beach of Crymlyn Burrows are a haven for wildlife, a piece of wilderness that has somehow survived two centuries of development and industrialisation around Swansea Bay. Our private beach can also be incorporated into your event from hosting BBQs to team building activities. Singleton Campus has the dynamic Taliesin Theatre, a prestigious arts venue that exists to enrich the cultural lives of individuals and communities across the region, offering a programme of live dance, theatre, music, film, and broadcast. The Taliesin hosts live theatre performances including ‘Milky Peaks’ and cinema showings including hit films “Where the Crawdads Sing”, “Don’t Worry Darling” and more. The University offers a quality catering experience across campuses. We offer several high street favourites including, Greggs, Subway and Tortilla. As well as our own on-site cafes and food outlets that provide visitors with a place to relax and socialise along with offering a range of meals, from pan Asian dishes, such as katsu curry to homemade classics like lasagne and jacket potatoes. We even offer a click and collect service. Singleton Campus is home to the renowned Swansea Bay Sports Park, a centre of sporting excellence in Wales, offering world-class sports training and competition facilities, including the Wales National Pool. We’ve hosted multiple events at our Sports Park from the World Para Sport Festival to the Rugby 7s University World Championship and even the IPC Athletics European Championships. Our vast range of equipment and facilities makes us an ideal location for hosting large sporting events. Additionally, there are facilities to use on Bay Campus, including a full-height sports hall, multi-use games area (MUGAs) and gym.
