Tips: I can't say there is a lot of cultural shift as it varies from person to person for me it wasn't that much issue as like a student I like doing things all by myself or balancing life between academics and part-time. Make sure to prepare yourself for all these challenges rest everything else will be good. I came here only for accounting to do it with ACCA and the course was good. There's a lot of learning even from your batchmates. I got a scholarship of 4000 pounds and I was satisfied with it. Make sure you research well before taking any course.

Dislikes (Student Life): A typical day in Swansea as a student is not very hectic the classes are flexible unlike in India. Students do get time in between the classes as there are good breaks. There are many events organised by the college like outdoor cinemas every once in a while. Students can find out about the events on the event page and emails are also sent about the same. Sports are good, the college supports Swansea FC football club which is currently playing in the Championship league of English football. There are student clubs which are either diverse or are focused on one ethnic group suppose there are Indian community groups or there can be a drama club which is typically diverse. Also, there are reading groups where I used to indulge more with and it is a great experience to make new friends and meet new people.

Safe place to stay, good for higher education.

Tips: No matter from what part of India you are the transition is bound to take place. Make sure you interact with other fellow students and it will be better if you can develop some relations with the facilities team too. The entire team is forthcoming and helpful. I personally haven't availed of any scholarship but many Indian students are on some kind of fee waivers, so get some knowledge about them. The course is Industry-oriented and is very precise. The professors have International publications in top economic and business journals. This place is good, the environment is pretty clean, you can chill and relax, the people are generous. What else does one want in a foreign land.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Overall the faculty is experienced and helpful but sometimes you can also encounter an eccentric professor. Make sure to submit your assignments timely so as to not create any kind of difference with the tutors. Listen to what they have to say and then question them rather than trying to outsmart them which will create the problems only.

Dislikes (Internships): Good internships are available but make sure that they are to be applied on time otherwise, there won't be many options. The college also guides when it comes to the internship part however many students look out for them on LinkedIn so make sure that the profile is updated timely. For economics, there are many internships available but you'll be required to showcase your skills, particularly the number game. Think accordingly.

This is a good university for International students

Tips: I got the international excellence scholarship of 4000 pounds and students who are meritorious can get that too. There are many scholarships that the students can get information about from the official website at the time they apply. Every year when the application starts you should fill out the forms if you are applicable. Some of the professors are very nice to you and will help and guide you throughout your course. Try that you get in touch with any student from this college to know more about accommodation and expenses especially if you are coming here for undergrad.

Likes (Safety): Good environment, good and helpful people and no worry about security on the campus. People sometimes say that they have faced a bit due to their colour, actually it is not racism but just a bit of bias, however, I have not seen anything like that. There are many students from Africa and India too and everything seems alright to me.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian Food is very expensive and does not have good taste. When I was studying I used to cook with my friend. It was fun to do that and wasn't very expensive. Even foods from the West will cost you a lot as compared to what their price was back in India. As a student, it is good to eat by making your own food.

Your transition will be slow but it will be smooth

Tips: The professors here are very experienced, they are very caring and helpful. I felt there was an abrupt cultural shift even Indian students who have been here for quite a time had felt out of place. When I came to this university I felt a bit alienated at first but slowly I understood and paced up and the transition was slow but I would say it was hassle free. Being an International student here you'll have to adapt to the weather as it is very cold during winters and if you are from India this is something to keep in mind. Student clubs are functioning up to the mark and the Alumni association is also good you will receive constant follow-ups from them after you have graduated.

The weather is hard to adjust to.

Tips: Students coming here should be aware of the weather shift in Swansea! It's always raining and most of the time is windy. Another thing is they won't get a variety of food to eat. Yet it's enjoyable and the utmost support is there from the university and the communities here.

Likes (Student Life): Good campus life with stunning views and diverse events. The college offers a holistic view that goes beyond academics by providing ample opportunities for personal growth and socialization. Students are friendly and welcoming always, creating a positive environment.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The restaurants are charging a hell lot of money for Indian food and thus I prefer to cook myself, and there is very less amount of quality Indian food. Yet there are a number of quality restaurants in the city that provide a variety of food from different regions and personally, I think you'll love the Chinese food here.
