DAVID SMITH, MEng Aerospace Engineering. Class of 2014. PARALYMPIAN.
“I wanted to study Aerospace Engineering and the staff around the course, the general atmosphere and the beach were the main draw. Some of my favourite memories include the study trips that involved flying like the flying lab at Cranfield or flying around the Gower.” Receiving his first Paralympic gold just before fresher’s week, World and Paralympic Champion, David aims to dominate in the sport of Boccia and won his fifth Paralympic medal at Tokyo 2021. swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/david-smith
ALEX RUDDY, Graduate Entry Medicine. Class of 2019. STEPS UP TO WORK AS A FRONTLINE MEDIC DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. “The prospect of beginning my career as a doctor a few months early filled me with a sense of nervous duty. We have trained for this moment for the past four years – and have been working towards it for much longer – and above the sense of personal fear or anxiety I think we are all eager to apply ourselves to this crisis and help our NHS at this time of immense need”. swansea.ac.uk/centenary2020/century-of-inspiring-people /alex-ruddy
