Outside of our university campuses, you can also discover a world of food, culture, and people. From Mumbles to the Maritime Quarter, to two famous Welsh ice cream parlours, you’ll experience breath-taking beaches and a city full of scenic charms and vibrant social scenes.

Just like our student Maya Dotson, you too can enjoy a slice of Swansea life: 

"When I think of Swansea I think of the beach. I think of walking over from Singleton campus, propping up a small barbeque and hanging out with friends in the sand. Swansea has some of the most extreme tides and it's really fun to watch them come in and out.”
