FACILITIES You’ll have access to a range of amazing facilities at the School of Culture and Communication to support your studies including: TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEARNING SUITE AND FULLY EQUIPPED AUDIOVISUAL INTERPRETING SUITE The learning suite is fitted with touch screens and lecture capture technology, allowing you to revisit any of your lectures online. In addition to three labs featuring the latest computers and translation software, students also have access to a state of the art conference interpreting suite. Equipped with two booths, this is a specialized facility that provides a controlled environment for interpreters to practice and train, with the booths fully soundproofed to ensure that the interpreter’s voice is not heard by the audience or vice versa.
LINGO LOUNGE, LANGUAGE CAFÉS AND HOMEWORK HUB
Social interaction lies at the heart of all language studies. That’s why, every Wednesday, staff and students gather together for a bite to eat and the chance to catch-up on each other’s news. We also have weekly language cafés – a chance to mingle with other students from all year-groups who are studying your language(s), as well as native speakers who are currently studying in Swansea. Finally, when you need to knuckle down, Homework Hub provides you with a dedicated space and time to get stuck into your studies, with a member of staff always on hand to help guide you with any trickier questions. STUDENT SOCIAL AND STUDY SPACES The School of Social Sciences has a range of open-plan spaces that you can use to relax and socialise between lectures or get in some quiet study time. Multiple electrical sockets and ports, together with WiFi throughout the buildings aid access to digital resources.
