The University offers the following choice of accommodation for each category of Postgraduate student:-
Single Postgraduate Student Accommodation
The University currently provides most of its postgraduate accommodation at Ty Beck House. There are also two floors for postgraduate students in Horton, a new en-suite residence on singleton campus. These rooms are offered to postgraduate students on both a 40 & 51 week tenancy. A limited amount of accommodation is also available in a specially designated postgraduate area in Hendrefoelan Student Village. Rooms in all residences are single.
A good range of accommodation is available for new postgraduate students, with first priority given to international students. As demand from international students is expected to be particularly high for the session 2009 / 10 there will be a limited number of places in accommodation for home postgraduate students. The majority of these places will be in University Managed Properties. In addition, home postgraduate students will be eligible to apply for one of the positions of Residence Tutors (16 positions in total) or Senior Residence Tutor (2 positions). The University will offer all other postgraduate students assistance in finding suitable Private Sector Accommodation.
Postgraduate Couples Accommodation
A number of self-contained flats can be found at Ty Beck House. There are also a small number of self-contained University Managed Flats that are suitable for couples without children.
Postgraduate Familiy Accommodation
The University provides a range of 1, 2 & 3 bedroom self-contained family flats at Ty Beck House.
Postgraduate Adapted Accommodation
One en-suite room in Ty Beck House is designed for a wheelchair user. Postgraduates with severe mobility problems may be considered for places in Singleton Residences, but this accommodation is not normally available during the vacation. There are a number of rooms suitable for visually impaired students and appropriate arrangements can be made in most residences for hearing-impaired students. Any student who has a disability or other special need, which may affect the allocation of accommodation, is encouraged to contact Residential Services and the Disability Office in Student Support Services as soon as their place at Swansea is confirmed.
Private Sector Accommodation
In addition postgraduates can opt to live in Private Sector Accommodation. If assistance is required from Residential Services students should still complete the application form.
Medical Students, Student Nurses and Law students studying on the LPC course
Due to the longer length of these courses and/or early start dates the most suitable accommodation is at Hendrefoelan Student Village . Please be advised that as accommodation at Ty Beck House and Singleton Residences is occupied by current students and conference visitors, no new student accommodation will be available until Friday 18th September 2009. For Graduate Medical Students please follow the links and apply as a new undergraduate.
