As an international student, you go out looking for a place you wouldn’t mind spending the next three to four years of your life. So, you can imagine how great it was to be in one of the safest places to live in Wales, at a university with a beach right next to it and a great student satisfaction and teaching rating. It was almost as if Swansea University was tailored for my specific needs. It has been great to learn from people who have worked in the industries they teach about and are always willing to challenge your way of thinking, which is intellectually satisfying.

Being in Swansea University was the most amazing time of my life. I made lifelong friends who I visit and still actively keep in touch after we first met. The environment was conducive for me to achieve success and gave me the confidence and skills that enabled my successes after graduation. It is my favourite place. My successes in my careers in banking and as a startup founder are directly linked to having good mentors and working with very talented people. Swansea helped me achieve both in terms of excellent teaching and an encouraging environment.

I liked the choice of modules available and the flexibility in your final year. I liked that you had the option for a year in industry and accreditations available. My favourite part about my year in industry was being able to see what going into the industry would look like and coming out feeling more prepared for a graduate job. I feel that having this experience has helped put me ahead already as I feel so much more prepared. I would definitely recommend doing a placement year as you learn so much and have so much fun doing it.
