Swansea is a great student city, which will make you feel welcome the moment you arrive.

Studying in Swansea is not just about academic excellence - although this is extremely important. It's about the whole experience of living as a student in the area - the excellent nightlife, great shopping, friendly locals, low crime levels, stunning scenery, over 50 amazing beaches and excellent road and rail links.

Swansea is a city in transformation and is witnessing unprecedented levels of investment with many visionary schemes currently underway.
At the forefront of these developments is the £200million SA1 waterfront development, on a prime waterfront site, with a mixed use of business, leisure and residential development. The city's newest attraction, opened by HM The Queen in March 2008, is the cutting edge and state-of-the-art £32million leisure centre (The LC) located in the heart of the city centre.

Also located in the city centre around historic Wind Street is the city's famous café quarter, providing a host of popular pubs and clubs, restaurants and entertainment venues including a 12 screen state-of-the-art multiplex cinema and multi-million pound casino.
Swansea is surrounded by resorts, parks, wildlife centres, caves and castles and the Gower Peninsula was the first part of Britain to be awarded the title of ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' by the Government in 1956. It is one of the most stunning peninsulas in the UK, with wide, clean sands and steeply cliffed coves protected by thick woods. With over 50 named coves, bays and beaches, the coast around Swansea is certainly up there with the best.
