If you are travelling from outside the UK and from a country which means you are required to quarantine on arrival, we can provide quarantine accommodation in your room in university residences.

We cannot provide University quarantine rooms for students who choose to live in private housing.

If you are renting a room in a University residence, the cost of your quarantine period will be included in the rental contract.

The advantages of choosing university residences to quarantine include:

• Registration process and support in place at time of arrival.
• Assistance with food, mail, welfare, online social events etc.
• Remain in the same room throughout your period of study
• Reduce the risk of feeling isolated by establishing friendship groups early on after arrival

As soon as you know your arrival times, please send an email to accommodation@swansea.ac.uk so we can prepare for your arrival.

If you prefer not to live in University residences, there is private housing available in the city. You can use SAS (Swansea Accommodation Services) to help find a suitable place to rent.
