THE CITY OF SWANSEA
From the Maritime Quarter and Uplands to nearby Mumbles, discover a city with plenty of charm and bags of character. Town, beach, campus, it’s quick and easy to get where you need to be especially with the Unibus that runs 24 hours during term time and our popular Santander Cycle Hire Scheme. Swansea has a vibrant music scene which continues to grow. The city boasts a huge variety of music venues and plays host to music festivals and events throughout the year with plans underway for a new 3,500 capacity arena in the heart of the city. Swansea is a vibrant centre for art and culture. On rainy days, duck into Glynn Vivian and Mission Gallery in town or Taliesin Arts Centre and the Egypt Centre on Campus. Literature lovers should pay a visit to local boy Dylan Thomas’ home too. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a photographer, read Mikaela’s Guide to the Most Instagrammable Spots in Swansea.
ABOUT SWANSEA UNIVERSITY
Swansea University has been at the cutting edge of research and innovation since 1920. We have a long history of working with business and industry but today our world-class research has a much wider impact across the health, wealth, culture, and well-being of our society. We have achieved an extraordinary level of success in recent years and our research activity exceeds that of many larger universities yet this has not compromised the friendly and relaxed atmosphere that has always characterised the “Swansea experience”. Swansea University look forward to continuing to work together to improve lives and the bright future that the next century will bring.

THE CAMPUS
Since 2010 we have embarked on a programme of significant transformation investing in student experience, academic and research facilities. Our development has included the construction of the Bay Campus which doubled the size of the University overnight. With acres of grounds to explore at your leisure, including the Crymlyn Burrows Site of Special Scientific Interest at the Bay Campus and our listed Botanical Garden at Singleton Park, Swansea University offers an outstanding outdoor environment for our students, staff and the community to enjoy. Our historic Singleton Park Campus is set in lush parkland within Singleton Park; one of Swansea’s key green spaces which provides the community with acres of lush green parkland to enjoy. The well-established grounds provide a wide variety of habitats, with grassland, mature woodland, planted areas and ponds, helping to support an extensive variety of wildlife. The new Bay Campus is right on the beach and adjacent to Crymyn Burrows Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), offering beachside habitats for you to explore at your leisure.
