Employability “Swansea University Medical School has been built on three pillars of strength that have influenced not only our range of courses but also the content we teach within them. Integral to all of our undergraduate degrees is employability, with clear pathways that provide an ideal springboard for careers in research, innovation and healthcare.”

“I started my first year in Swansea in 2015 and am now due to complete my medical degree in 2023, so I think it’s safe to say I’mpretty keen on this place! I have always felt well supported and encouraged whilst studying here.

I really enjoyed the campus experience; with the university being situated just outside the city centre it’s far enough to be a self-contained community, but close enough to the city for anything you could want”
