Student life

At Swansea, life is as vibrant as the community you’ll join! With over 150 societies and 50 sports clubs, plus events like Freshers’ Week, the Summer Ball, and the iconic Welsh Varsity, there’s always something to dive into. 

Your Students’ Union (SU) is at the heart of it all—run by students, for students. From bars and shops to advice and support, every penny goes back into making your experience unforgettable. 

Finding your perfect home is easy too. With accommodation across four locations and options like quiet zones, alcohol-free living, and Welsh-speaking areas, there’s a space for everyone to feel at home. 

And the location? Unbeatable. Both campuses are right on the beach, perfect for BBQs, winter walks, and catching waves.

With beautiful hills and coastlines to explore by foot, bike, surfboard or zipline, Wales offers a great student experience and a wide range of universities connected to their local communities.

The country has a little of everything – historic cities like Cardiff and Swansea, pretty coastal towns, and three national parks including Snowdonia, home to the highest mountain in Wales. If you love the outdoors, you’ll be right at home.

Wales has a long history of sporting achievement, literature, and history. Perhaps you'll hear some tales over some rarebit – a traditional dish that puts cheese on toast to shame.

    English Language and TESOL, BA (Hons)
    I love the idea of teaching English in South Korea. I have spent much time in Seoul and Busan over the past 2 years and would love the opportunity to move more permanently. As an avid history lover, Korea's expansive history fascinates me! I am a massive fan of BTS, and my bias is Jimin! I am learning to speak Korean and will participate in a summer school in Seoul this summer to expand my language knowledge further. In my spare time I enjoy creating content for my Instagram which consists of BTS, lifestyle and travel!
