Mosque (Singleton Campus)
Location: on the East side of the Library and Information Centre
Swansea University has an award-winning Mosque on campus which is an integral part of life for most Muslim students on campus. We have all of the facilities of a modern, well-equipped mosque including:
• a separate prayer and washing facilities for men and women
• a meeting room and Islamic library
People of all faiths and non-faith groups are always welcome to visit the Mosque at any time
Our campus Mosque is a great way to enable students to mix with and befriend people from all over the world. It is this diversity that makes it such a unique and interesting place to be. The atmosphere of the mosque is also a suitable area for study for both overseas and home students.
