MUMBLES
GOWER PENINSULA
MUMBLES The University’s neighbour is the cosy beachfront village of Mumbles; home to Victoria Pier and Oystermouth Castle, streets of boutique shops and independent eateries, along with the famous Verdi’s and Joe’s Ice cream parlours. The newly developed Oyster Wharf waterfront development also boasts a mix of well-known and local restaurants.
UPLANDS A short walk through Singleton Park and you will reach one of the hippest places in Wales. The student hub of the Uplands is home to trendy bars and eateries, the best hangover cure in Wales (thank you Uplands Diner for your Mega Beast Breakfast), convenience shops and monthly Uplands Markets, and some of the best views in the city.
MARINA When the sea calls, there’s nowhere better. Come here for everything from big-night-out bars, to the Dylan Thomas Theatre, the National Waterfront Museum and a bustling monthly market. You can even dine at the top of Wales’ tallest building with sweeping views across the bay and even as far as North Devon and the Brecon Beacons.
SINGLETON CAMPUS Located on Singleton campus, the Medical School is nestled beautifully between Swansea Bay’s beachfront and leafy Singleton Park, perfect for lunchtime picnics and weekend beach days. Our campus beach (as we like to think of it) is a Watersports Centre of Excellence and a popular haunt for students during study breaks and lunch hours.
EXPLORING THE CITY Swansea City Centre is a 40 minute walk along the beachfront, or a 5 minute bus ride away from campus. Once there you can shop the high street and Wales’ largest indoor market, treat your inner culture vulture at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery or sample the varying eateries, bars and pubs of Swansea’s (in)famous Wind Street.
