BSc (Hons) in Computer Science - Batch of 2026

Offered by Swansea University

The university provides many on campus opportunities to grow and build connections.

Tips: Initially, I was concerned about the transition to this university, but it turned out to be a smooth one. I fit in perfectly and didn't feel like there was anything I couldn't do. I didn't have any scholarships before joining and I had applied for it through clearing. The city is very warm and welcoming. The faculty are easily approachable and will as well guide you throughout your assignments. Make sure to participate in events and seminars which are held on campus. Overall, I am very satisfied with the university and its courses.

MSc Management (Business Analytics) - Batch of 2025

Offered by Swansea University

4.5

Safest city for students. Focus on work and tasks assigned to you.

Tips: Students coming should know the difference in education between India and Western countries. Understand the structure of your course modules in order to improve your overall work and studies. Work on assignments and projects as soon as you receive them instead of leaving them last minute.

Likes (Safety): One of the safest cities in this country. A small and bustling town, it is very quiet and safe to travel in even at night. However certain amount of caution must always be observed. Staying in groups at night or using public transportation is a good way to keep vigilance.

Dislikes (Part time work): Not enough part time opportunities in the city and University. Yet there are multiple job opportunities being created by the University. Will need time but slowly and surely everyone can get part-time opportunities if they are patient enough. Very important to create connections.

Swansea University has a beautiful campus and a great learning environment.

Tips: The Singleton Park Campus of Swansea University is one of the most picturesque university campuses in the UK. It is located within a large park with stunning views of Swansea Bay. The campus is relatively central, just a short distance from the city centre, which makes it convenient for students to access shops, cafes, and other amenities. Swansea is generally a safe city, but like any urban area, it's important to stay vigilant. Public areas, particularly parks like Singleton Park, can be quieter at night, so it's advisable to use well-lit routes and avoid walking alone after dark. The university has security services and patrols, especially around the Singleton Park and Bay campuses, to ensure student safety. It's also smart to use public transport or a taxi when travelling late. As with any city, being mindful of personal belonging and sharing your whereabouts with friends adds an extra layer of security. Overall, Swansea is a welcoming and safe place, with common-sense precautions helping to keep it that way.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are a great way to gain work experience, earn extra income, and develop valuable skills while maintaining a flexible schedule. Common opportunities include roles in retail, hospitality, customer service, and tutoring. These jobs typically offer flexible hours, making them ideal for students or individuals with other commitments. Part-time work helps improve time management, enhances communication skills, and provides a chance to network and build a professional resume. Additionally, freelancing and roles in healthcare or administration are also popular choices, offering further flexibility and the potential for career growth.

MSc in Data Science - Batch of 2023

Offered by Swansea University

4.4

Life at Swansea University is satisfying in terms of both academics and personal growth.

Tips: As for transitioning to Swansea University, it's common to face a cultural shift, with the difference in language, food, social customs, and academic expectations. Regarding scholarships, Swansea University offers various scholarship opportunities for international students based on merit. I find the University, course fulfilling.

Likes (Safety): It is safe to be in and around the university at any time of the day. There are bus services throughout the night available for students who study late at night in the university library. I have not had any bad experiences in the city so far.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transport is not always reliable, but the frequency is good. You have various buses going to and fro from the Singleton campus to the Bay campus. The prices are confirmed to be increased from next month, which is a big setback for students.

MSc Advanced Computer Science - Batch of 2023

Offered by Swansea University

4.1

Fantastic experience. And it's worth to study in Swansea University

Tips: There is quite a change which is good. Studies are more oriented in practical form and a cultural shift is definitely there. Coming from North Indian spending a-lot of time with south Indian and multi-culture communities from all around the world was quite good, knowing their culture and accommodating with open-minded people, was one of the best experiences I've seen and felt in a while. Scholarships are available for Swansea University to attain a 4000 scholarship by doing proper research. My satisfaction level from the university is 90/100, from the course 100/100, and from the country, it completely depends on how you handle situations, for me it is 100/100.

Likes (Safety): People, staff, teachers are quite helpful, they have a quite good hold on the mental health of the students, as well as teachers keep their students quite comfortable and are always at ease to help. Security is quite good. They also have regular security checks on people in the day and night as well, running throughout the campus. I have stayed at university late night till 3 am also and did not feel unsafe at all.

Dislikes (Internships): Internship facilities are not exclusively available through the campus, we need to search on website manually from time to time. No other facility are provided by the campus on their own in the form of emails or any particular dedicated job web page on the university web page. That was a little off-set part. But teaching methods and examination are kept quite good in control to develop skills through-out the year.
