Undergraduate Open Days

Open Days - 17th October & 7th November

Our Open Days provide a great opportunity for you to explore our beautiful campuses, meet our teaching staff and get a real insight into what it’s like to be a student at Swansea University.

You will also have an opportunity to explore our teaching facilities, accommodation options, sporting facilities, range of student support services and advice on student finance and financial support.

We will be continually monitoring Welsh and UK Government guidance to determine whether this event takes place on-campus or as a Virtual Open Day. As soon as a decision is made we will inform you via email.

Clearing - Campus visits

If you are applying to us via Clearing, you will be able to visit the campus before term starts in September. We will email you information about dates and how to book.

Due to current social distancing guidelines, attendance on campus at this time is by ticket only. If you turn up without a ticket you won't be allowed onto campus.

What can I expect from an open day?

You will find lots to do at one of our University open days. University open days are an excellent way to meet the staff who will teach you in your chosen subject area and staff will be happy to answer any questions that you would like to ask. Current Swansea University students will also be on hand to give you a valuable student perspective.

Our information fairs include information on student services and support, our students’ union, study abroad opportunities, employability, sports and music. Campus tours are available throughout the day and you can also take sports and accommodation tours.

You may wish to attend more than one subject area and our helpful programme or mobile app can help you plan your day.

Who should come to a University open day?

Our open days welcome prospective students, and their parents/guardians. You will have the chance to look around our two beautiful campuses at your leisure and there are also structured campus tours which will take in our facilities including our state-of-the-art laboratories and teaching spaces.

Our open days typically start at 8.30am and finish at 4pm but you can just attend the sessions of most interest/relevance to you. Most sessions are repeated throughout the day and you can use the Swansea University Open Day App to plan your day. Printed versions of the programme will be available online and will be provided on the day.

You can explore more than one subject area on the day and subject information stands are available in each of our seven academic colleges.

When should I go to a University open day?

It is a good idea to attend open days as early as possible so that you can spend plenty of time reviewing your options. These open days are most suitable for students in years 11, 12 and 13 as well as mature students. Open days are suitable for those who have already applied to study and those who are still considering their options.

Should I bring anything with me to an open day?

Remember to bring your digital or printed ticket for the open day which you will use to register on the day. Only one ticket is required per student and families and friends don’t require a ticket to attend the open day.
