Why research matters.
  We continue to be recognised for the impact of our research which makes a real, positive difference to the lives of people across the world.
  Examples of our research include: leading on the UK's largest ever Seagrass restoration project, monitoring global drug policies for policy change and using big data to reduce self-harm and suicide.
  Perfectly positioned next to the sea, and close to Tata Steel Port Talbot, our location allows us to demonstrate some of our world leading research in steel and conservation. We also work closely with the Swansea Bay University Health Board undertaking ground-braking research in medicine and health sciences. Jointly working with SME's and global companies has resulted in helping in the development of greener, cleaner, smarter steel, saving the industry money and lessening the impact on the environment.

  “I knew that Swansea University had brilliant Welsh and Politics departments, so I wanted to study there to be taught by the best. Also, the appeal of the nearby Gower and beaches was a massive draw. Being taught by absolutely outstanding lecturers, the friends that I made at university and the many sporting activities that I took part in were defining memories of being a student at Swansea. Had it not been for Swansea University I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

  “As a student at Swansea University, I was keen on not only gaining academic experience, but also professional experience. I was able to get a job within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences as well as in other formal work sectors. Since graduating, the proudest moment for me has been founding the ‘Stand To End Rape Initiative’, experiencing the joy in the faces of the survivors we have worked with. There is an innate sense of accomplishment when the organisation removes a victim from an abusive situation. It feels great to have been honoured as a Commonwealth Young Person of the Year 2019 and an Obama Foundation Leader in Africa.

We're Here For You.
  You can access a range of student support services throughout your time at university to make your whole time spent here as stress free and easy as possible.

MyUniHub.
How can we help.
  MyUniHub is here to offer information and guidance on any aspect of student life. So whether you would like help enrolling as a student, want to pay your fees in person, want advice on housing, student financial aid, MyUniHub is the place to go!
[people standing at the MyUniHub desk.]
Settling into uni.
  “I remember the first few months at university were the hardest to adapt to. Not only was I ill and wanting the comfort of home but I was quite shy and felt as though I couldn't connect to my flatmates who all wanted to go out partying most of the time. I am aware that others feel or have felt similar emotions at university but it is important to know and understand that you are not alone and do not have to deal with things by yourself.
  Sometimes, university can feel like a lonely place but having people accept and care about your wellbeing can help to off-set these feelings of isolation. It is also important to note that if you are too ill, you do not have to soldier on and make yourself worse (and feel as though you are in a rut), there are options for medical leave or extenuating circumstances.
  The University offers many services to help students who may be struggling; from in-house counselling and wellbeing services, to pastoral support from staff. There is no shame in using these services and acknowledging and admitting that you may need some additional help and support (as hard as this may be).”

  Swansea University recognises that enhancing its future graduates' employability has never been more important. As more and more businesses recruit from a global talent pool, it is vital that you stand out from the crowd with additional skills.

  Studying and working abroad:
•	Rewards you with an international outlook and experience.
•	Enables you to gain confidence and become more self reliant.
•	Helps you develop independence and initiative.

Year or Semester Abroad.
  Some courses allow you to spend a year or semester abroad. The year abroad adds an additional year to a standard degree, after the second year of your course. You will usually study at a partner university or complete a work placement, depending on your degree. The semester abroad usually takes place during the second year of a three-year degree.
  Enrolment on a programme with a semester/year abroad does not guarantee you a semester/year abroad placement. Spaces are limited and subject to a competitive selection process. In the event you do not secure a semester/year abroad placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a semester or year abroad. You will need to meet a minimum academic threshold in order to participate in a semester or year abroad programme. Available destinations may be limited by external factors, such as travel restrictions and capacity at partner universities. Associated costs of the semester/year abroad (such as travel, visas, host university charges and cost of living abroad in the host country) will vary. Funding may be available. For more information visit:
www.swansea.ac.uk/goglobal 
Summer Programmes.
  Summer programmes offer valuable international experience in addition to your degree. You can choose from internships, cultural, study and volunteering programmes in countries such as Fiji, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the USA and across Europe.

Student Experiences.
[Individual photographs of three students.]
  Alice completed a year abroad in Canada as part of the BSc Business Management course.
“At the University of Windsor, Canada, I took some fantastic classes, one of which gave me the opportunity to work as an intern at a film festival. I gained invaluable insights into the world of work and it gave me a clearer idea of the career I wish to pursue.”
  Mikolaj completed a semester abroad in the USA as part of the BEng Aerospace Engineering course.
“Academic life in the USA was intense but the challenge allowed me to expand my knowledge and increase my confidence. Experiencing American culture during my semester abroad at Texas A&M University was an amazing opportunity.”
  Lamaa (LLB Law) spent a month in Fiji over the summer, volunteering with Think Pacific.
“My project involved building a medical centre. It was fantastic to provide the Fijian community with something so essential to the village. This opportunity in Fiji enhanced my ability to adapt, multitask and work in a diverse environment.”

SWell.
“With our waterfront campuses and surrounding parks and habitats, we aim to encourage our students to reduce collective and individual impacts on the environment and reward them for helping us achieve this.
  Our sustainability engagement app, SWell, allows students to earn 'Green Points' for taking positive actions. This includes supporting wildlife, choosing a low carbon transport type, taking steps to improve your mental wellbeing, plus lots more. The top points earners every month win a voucher for a sustainable retailer, a reward that we hope will improve our students' everyday sustainability and incentivise others to take action. Since launching the app in 2021, students have recorded over 26,000 positive actions and, combined with staff, saved over 289,000kg CO2. What impact could you make?”

  The College has minimum academic entry requirements, which vary depending on the education system of prior study and the subject to be studied at Swansea University.

If you do not meet the English language requirement for direct entry to your chosen Pathway, English language training is delivered by Swansea University's English Language Training Services (ELTS) with multiple entry points throughout each year.

Parents and Guardians.
  We know that the process of applying to university can seem daunting, but we are here to help! Join our community by signing up to our parent and guardian newsletter. We will help you understand the university application process and keep you informed of important deadlines, as well as sending you hints, tips and reminders to support your child in applying to university.
Sign up to our Parent and Guardian Newsletter:
www.swansea.ac.uk/parents 
[Photograph of a parent and prospective students in conversation with a member of staff.]
Finance.
  The costs associated with university can often be a concern for parents, but there is funding available which is designed to allow higher education to be accessible to all.
  Note that UK domiciled students do not have to pay upfront and repayments after graduation will be linked to your child's salary. See page 50 - Fees and Funding.

[page 55]

What you can do:
Research.
[laptop symbol]
  With thousands of courses on offer, at hundreds of universities across the UK, we'd encourage you to discuss with your child what they want from their future. Once they've decided what course they want to study, the next crucial decision is where. It is really important that they pick the right university for them, as they will be spending the next 3-5 years there.
Open Days.
[calendar symbol]
  Once your child has narrowed down their options, we recommend they attend some open days. University open days are one of the best forms of research. They allow you to view the campus and facilities, meet staff and students, ask your questions, and get a feel for the campus. Our open days take place all year round. More information can be found on our website:
www.swansea.ac.uk/open-days 
UCAS Application.
[paper and pen symbol]
  There are several key dates that your child should be aware of, and it’s worth adding these to your diary to ensure that they don’t miss any part of the application process. They will be able to submit a maximum of five university courses and they will have to write a personal statement. When supporting your child with their application, remember to discuss their ideas with them and to proofread their statement.
  See page 56 and the inner back cover.
Accommodation.
[building symbol]
  Discuss the different accommodation options with your child to help them make the best choice for them. They could live at home, in university halls of residence or private accommodation. Swansea University has accommodation available on both campuses and across our city centre, with designated areas including quiet, single-sex, alcohol free, Welsh speaking and mature options. There is also guaranteed accommodation in university managed residences, if applications are made before June 30th. See page 16 - Accommodation.
Results Day.
[medal symbol]
  Results day can be a really emotional experience. For most it will be a celebration of two years of hard work and securing a place at their first-choice university, but for a few students their initial plans might change. Whatever the outcome, the most important thing to remember is to stay calm. There is lots of support and options available and they can still go on to have a fantastic university experience.
Enrolment.
[checklist symbol]
  When moving away from home for the first time, home comforts can really help your child to settle into their new environment. It is important for them to take a few weeks to settle in, find a routine and get familiar with their new surroundings. If your son or daughter opts to live at home, encourage them to join clubs and societies.

What do you need?
  Applicants are considered on their own merits and offers may vary, however we guarantee that you will be made a conditional offer for a course at Swansea University* [asterisk]. The typical offer is listed on the subject pages in this prospectus as three A Levels, but we are happy to accept a range of other qualifications, so please check the individual course pages on our website for more detailed and subject-specific criteria at:
www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses 
  Applicants should normally hold GCSE English or Welsh at grade C (4) or above (or equivalent).
  We also welcome a wide range of other qualifications, plus we are constantly reviewing the acceptability of new qualifications, so if you are taking exams not listed please contact the Admissions Office.
  Students who are able to extend their three A Levels by undertaking additional study, such as any additional A Level(s), or other qualifications, are encouraged to do so. We believe that additional study, in a variety of forms, can help you prepare for the demands of university. We also acknowledge that different schools and colleges offer a different range and number of subjects - those not able to do so will not be disadvantaged.
Welsh Baccalaureate - Skills Challenge Certificate.
  We welcome the graded Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate qualification and applicants will be able to meet our requirements from three A Levels, or two A Levels and the Welsh Baccalaureate. A selection of Individual Project Proposals relating to a variety of Swansea University subject areas can also be found on the WJEC website.
EPQ* [asterisk].
  We recognise the Extended Project Qualification as an excellent indicator of success on our schemes of study. Applicants predicted grade B or above in EPQ will receive an offer with a one grade reduction, for example, an offer of AAB would become ABB plus EPQ B. We encourage applicants to describe EPQ research within the personal statement, particularly when relevant to their intended course and/or career.
  Variation in qualifications in schools and colleges in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland: We recognise the variation in qualifications to GCSEs, AS and A Levels in England, alongside different qualifications frameworks in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
  * [asterisk] Guaranteed conditional offers and reductions to candidates offering a predicted grade B in EPQ do not apply to professional courses and normal selection procedures apply. Only available to Home applicants. Full details of our Guaranteed Offer Policy can be found at: www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/how-to-apply/guaranteed-offers  

[page 57]

What Happens Next?
  When we receive your application, our Admissions staff will check that you meet our entry requirements, and assess your personal statement and reference to ensure that you have the experience and skills necessary to study the subject. We will look for evidence of your commitment and motivation, and pay attention to your achievements. We’re interested in people who will seize the opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge, and who will benefit most from the Swansea experience. We’re also interested in people who will add value to the sporting, cultural, and social life of our community.
  UCAS will let you know if we make you an offer and if there are any specific conditions. Occasionally, a member of staff from the Faculty you are interested in may suggest that you will receive an offer, but this is not a binding commitment - please wait for a formal offer from UCAS.
Interviews.
  Some courses, such as medicine, nursing and other healthcare courses, are very competitive and will require an interview before we can make you an offer. You'll be sent information about what to expect and when, by email.
Open Days.
  We encourage all applicants to visit us, at one of our open days. Meeting prospective students at open days often allows us some flexibility to tailor our offers to each individual’s strengths.
Your Offer.
  If our offer is conditional, you will only receive final confirmation of an unconditional place when results are published. If you firmly accept our conditional offer but do not get the results you need, we’ll adopt as flexible an approach as possible and will do our utmost to confirm your place on your chosen course, or where possible, a closely related programme.

Foundation Year.
[Tick symbol.]
What is a Foundation Year?
  If you don’t have the necessary entry requirements to enter onto the first year of a degree, you can apply for a place on a degree course with an Integrated Foundation Year. This means that you will be studying for four years instead of three. Student Loans will also cover the foundation year.
  During your first year, you will be able to improve your skills and increase your knowledge of the subject. After successful completion, you will continue onto the three-year or four-year degree course and you will graduate with a Bachelors degree, e.g. BSc (Hons) or BA (Hons).
Will Studying a Foundation Year Mean I am Behind Other Students?
  Not at all - many of our students who have studied a foundation year outperform students who start on year 1 of the main degree. Many go on to get first class honours, are brilliant ambassadors for the University and are highly valued by their department.
What Other Skills Can I Learn in My Foundation Year?
  Depending on your subject, you can brush up on other skills that you might need. For instance, if you want to study Physics, but your Maths at A Level let you down, an Integrated Foundation Year gives you a great opportunity to get your Maths up to scratch. You will also become more confident in your own abilities.
What Qualifications Do I Need to Apply?
  We consider applicants on their own merits, so offers may vary, but we guarantee** [double asterisk] that we will make you an offer.
  This might be in the form of a typical grades offer. The typical offer is listed on the subject pages in this prospectus, but we are happy to accept a range of other qualifications, so please check the individual course pages on our website for more detailed and subject-specific criteria at:
www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses

Student Profile – Hope Henry.
  BSc Applied Medical Sciences.
  Current MBBCh Medicine (Graduate Entry) Student.
[Photograph of Hope Henry.]
  “I had a big shock on A Level results day when it turned out that my exams had not gone quite as well as I had hoped. Everything felt like complete chaos until I received a phone call from Swansea University, who talked me through my options.
  I accepted a place on the Foundation Year of Applied Medical Sciences, a degree offering me a Pathway to Medicine, as studying Medicine was my ultimate end goal. I can wholeheartedly say that this was the best decision I have ever made - right from that initial phone call, Swansea believed in me as a person and as a student.
  I am very proud to say that following my studies in Applied Medical Sciences, I was offered a place to study Graduate Entry Medicine in Swansea, a place I now consider to be my home away from home. I look forward to continuing my time at Swansea University with the challenge of Graduate Entry Medicine that lies ahead.”

Student Profile –Nomthandazo Moyo.
  BSc Economics with a Year in Industry.
[Photograph of Nomthandazo Moyo.]
  “My passion for debate drove my curiosity in learning to critically analyse arguments as well as building my understanding of the opposing side enough to engage them. I found that this skill was linked to Economics as it focused on analysis and debates based on empirical evidence and human behaviour. This drew me to the Economics degree and to Swansea University, known for its reputation as a high performing world–class research institution.
  With help from the employability team in shaping my CV and cover letter, and practicing mock interviews, I managed to secure a placement opportunity at [sic] UK's largest retail bank, Lloyds Banking Group, where I spent 13 months as a Risk Analyst focusing on analysing, reporting, and discovering more efficient ways to mitigate risks in the group. This was a fantastic experience for me to get a feel of what jobs I could venture into after graduation. I love the flexibility and vast range of modules offered in my degree and I am excited for the next chapter.”

  Student Profile on next page.

[page 106]

Student Profile - Bryn Kewley.
  BSc Geography.
  Previous adviser to Labour’s Energy and Climate Change Minister.
[Photograph of Bryn Kewley wearing a suit and an ID tag on a lanyard. The background view is of the River Thames, London Eye and County Hall in London.]
  “I've worked for two Labour Secretaries of State, focusing on energy and climate change and I have previously advised Labour's Energy and Climate Change Minister. My role entailed a lot of discussion around our climate and energy policies, trying to shape the debate on key sustainability issues and giving indications to stakeholders about our thinking. I also had the absolute privilege of working on the Labour Manifesto, writing the original drafts of the climate change chapter.
  The degree I received from Swansea got me through the door to these roles, but it's the love of the subject that I got from Swansea that actually landed me the job in the interview. Gaining a genuine interest in the subject is one of the things that makes Swansea so amazing, many of the lecturers were fantastic and make you fall in love with the subject. So much so, that when you go for interview the passion of the subject really comes across and makes it easier to land any job.”

  “The best thing about studying here is the continuous support and guidance from all the staff. The lecturers are so enthusiastic that you end up being driven towards achieving high grades whilst enjoying yourself every step of the way.

  Graduate, BA Media and Communication.
[Photograph of Sophie Davis wearing an official lanyard at the Swansea City FC stadium.]
  “Studying Media and Communication at Swansea University gave me an overview of the entire media industry, but the key for me was the internship module in my final year. This enabled me to work in-house with Swansea City Football Club to do a full year internship, which led to a paid full-time role. I chose Swansea University because of the career prospects and the opportunities presented by the university were just amazing.”

Student Profile - Mikey Denman.
  Nursing (Adult) Graduate.
  Shortlisted for the Student Nursing Times Award for Student Nurse of the Year (Adult) 2021.
[Photograph of Mikey Denman.]
  “I felt blessed throughout my time as a student nurse at Swansea to have had so many opportunities, experiences and support from the University, their affiliations, the staff, my fellow students and patients of our NHS and this all shaped me to be the A&E nurse that I am today.
  As a Welsh speaker, I received the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol Incentive Scholarship, worth £500 a year during my studies, on top of the NHS Wales Bursary that covered my tuition fees. As well as financial support, Coleg Cymraeg also offered me incredible opportunities: I took part in the S4C documentary 'Nurses', was given opportunities to share my experiences as a nursing student with prospective students in schools, and I was invited to speak at a conference on the importance of the Welsh language in leadership. Most importantly, though, I got to continue my studies through the medium of Welsh, which made my experience so much better.”

Student Profile - Emma Treyhurn.
  BSc Psychology and MSc Clinical Psychology and Mental Health Graduate.
[Photograph of Emma Treyhurn.]
  “After I graduated from Swansea University with my BSc in Psychology, I knew I wanted to stay to continue my studies.
  I loved that my undergraduate Psychology degree allowed me to explore everything that Psychology encompasses and my favourite part of the course was conducting my Final Year Research Project. My passion lies in understanding the human brain and helping people understand their thought processes, motivations and behaviours and this project allowed me to investigate it in depth. I went on to study MSc Clinical Psychology and Mental Health as I was interested in pursuing a career in Clinical Psychology and am now Organisational Development Programme Lead at University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
  If you want to come to a university that values you as a student, make amazing friends, live by the sea and have some unforgettable nights out, then Swansea couldn’t be a better fit. I loved every second of my time at Swansea. It took my passion and brought it to life and I had the best time - I couldn’t imagine having my university experience anywhere else.”
