ACADEMIC AND PASTORAL SUPPORT Swansea Academy of Inclusivity and Learner Success (SAILS) provides inclusive academic and pastoral support for our diverse student population. Working with colleagues across the University, SAILS ensures inclusive learning, teaching and assessment is accessible to all students, that you have access to the opportunities available, and all students are supported to reach your full potential.
LEARNING IN WELSH We are proud to be a Welsh institution, and we offer the option of learning in the Welsh language, offering a Welsh-medium provision in every faculty. From degree courses which are completely taught in Welsh, to courses where some modules are offered in Welsh, or in some departments it is possible to have Welsh language seminars and tutorials for modules which are mainly taught through the medium of English. Swansea University works in partnership with the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and the University’s branch is situated within Academi Hywel Teifi. Academi Hywel Teifi provides support and assistance to students wishing to study through the medium of Welsh, as well as providing opportunities to socialise with other Welsh speakers. swansea.ac.uk/academi-hywel-teifi
