  The following message contains very important information. This prospectus was printed in the spring of 2025. We have made every reasonable step to provide the services described in this prospectus at the date of publication.
  It contains information on the undergraduate programmes and work opportunities that Swansea University intends to offer students who are planning to start university in the autumn of 2026.
Programmes.
  Some changes, for example to: programmes, modules, delivery of teaching, study location, international opportunities and destinations, facilities or fees may become necessary due to legitimate staffing, financial, regulatory and academic reasons.
Work and internship opportunities.
  Available opportunities vary each academic year and will depend on the offerings of partner organisations. The University does not guarantee any work or internship placements for students, and any opportunity is subject to satisfying academic, financial and practical conditions, applicable for that specific opportunity. Work and internship opportunities are additionally subject to a competitive application process between enrolled students. For further details on possible work and internship opportunities for your course, please refer to the most up-to-date information at:
www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses
  Should industrial action, external factors beyond the control of the University or any government legislation and/or guidance interfere with its current ability to provide the services (as at the time of publication), the University will undertake to use all reasonable steps to minimise any disruption to the services. The information within this prospectus is accurate at the date of publication, but is subject to change due to the factors identified above.
  We will endeavour at all times to keep any necessary changes to a minimum and to keep prospective students informed appropriately. Any changes to the information contained in this prospectus will be updated on our website: www.swansea.ac.uk

  At Swansea, our research changes lives. We are not afraid to tackle large issues, and have made a positive impact globally in areas such as the climate crisis, preserving ancient monuments, and improving health. We have led on the UK's largest ever Seagrass restoration project, monitored global drug policies to enact change, used big data to reduce self-harm and suicide, and even developed buildings that generate, store and release their own energy.
  Many of our researchers also teach on our courses, so you will benefit from their knowledge and experience as part of your studies. You could even become part of a research team, helping to explore, prevent and solve global issues.
  You can learn more about our groundbreaking research and its global impact through our podcast series 'Exploring Global Problems'. We tackle important topics such as the needs of asylum seekers, ensuring global food security, cancer treatment and eradicating malaria, and state-sponsored disinformation, in our four-season podcast series.

Omar, BSc Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.
[Photograph of Omar.]
  “Swansea University has good rankings, high student satisfaction, and is in a safe, small city where almost everyone is a student. It's on the beach, which is unique. People are nice, and Swansea feels like a community.
  My advice: have fun, make connections, and get involved in your first year.”
Niomi, BSc Psychology.
[Photograph of Niomi feeding a red panda.]
  “I love the subject, and the topics we've looked at have been so interesting and have been taught with so much enthusiasm! I'm really looking forward to my third year to choose specific modules and do my final year project!”

Rachel Johnson, MEng Mechanical Engineering.
[Photograph of Rachel Johnson standing in front of an aeroplane.]
  “I chose Swansea after visiting on an applicant day. It was busy, the beach gorgeous, and it felt like a place I could quickly feel comfortable. I've always loved Maths and Physics, and Mechanical Engineering fit my problem-solving mindset. Practical projects like the Glider Project brought together design, manufacturing, and teamwork, preparing me for real-world challenges. My Year in Industry at GE Aerospace taught me invaluable skills in teamwork and production schedules, inspiring my career in aviation. Experiential opportunities like Formula Student and the Zambia Expedition added hands-on learning.”

We're Here for You.

How can we help.

[Photograph of people receiving support 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).”

Carys Dukes,
Swansea University Students' Union. Welsh Affairs Officer.
[Photograph of Carys Dukes.]
  “Since I was very young, I have felt extremely passionate about our language, culture and heritage.
  Throughout my life I've been educated through the medium of Welsh, including during my time here at Swansea University studying BA Public Relations and Media.
  I grew up in an entirely Welsh speaking rural area which is so proud of its rich language and culture, and I believe that this has shaped my values, attitudes and my identity.
  My intention for this academic year is to contribute to the Welsh Government's goal of reaching one million Welsh speakers by 2050. I hope to do this by raising awareness about our language, heritage and culture over the next year. We have many clubs and societies which welcome new members, and I believe there is an opportunity to grow into one huge community. The next year is going to be filled with fun and excitement!”

Go Global.
[Photograph of colourful boats on a tropical beach.]
  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.
  Employers acknowledge the value of international experience, and students who spend time abroad develop and demonstrate many of the qualities that employers seek: global and intercultural awareness, maturity, confidence and adaptability to new environments and challenges.
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.]

  Aimee is currently studying at University of Houston, Texas as part of her BSc Business Management course.
  “Studying in Houston has been a fun experience. I've connected with so many people and I now see things from a new perspective. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and embraced countless opportunities to try new things.”
  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.”

  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?”

  As an integrated student, you will be taught alongside direct-entry students but with additional tutorials and a learning skills module specifically for integrated students.

  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 understand that the process of applying to university can be daunting, but we are here to help. Join our parents and guardians' community by signing up to our newsletter; designed to help you understand the process, keep you informed on important deadlines, as well as providing handy tips to help you 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.
  University-related costs can often be a concern, but the funding available makes higher education more accessible now than ever. It's worth noting that UK students do not have to pay up front, and repayments after graduation are linked to your child's salary. See page 44 - Fees and Funding.

[page 47]

What you can do as a parent or guardian:
Research.
[laptop symbol]
  With such a wide range of courses available, we encourage you to discuss your child's aspirations with them. After they've chosen their course, the next big decision is where to study. It's important that they choose the right university for them, as they will be spending at least 3 years there.
Open Days.
[calendar symbol]
  After options have been narrowed down, we recommend attending some open days, which are one of the best forms of research. They allow you and your child to view the facilities, meet staff and students, ask any questions, and get a real feel for the campus. Our open days take place year-round, with more information available on our website:
See our website for latest dates: www.swansea.ac.uk/open-days
UCAS Application.
[paper and pen symbol]
  There are several dates worth adding to your diary to ensure your child doesn't miss any key part of the process. When supporting them with their application, remember to discuss their ideas, and to proofread their statement. See page 48 and the inner back cover.
Enrolment.
[checklist symbol]
  When moving away for the first time, home comforts can help your child get used to their new environment. It's important to take time to settle in, find a routine and get familiar with their new surroundings. If your child stays at home, you can encourage them to join clubs and societies.
Results Day.
[medal symbol]
  Results Day can be an emotional experience for your child, it can either be a celebration of success or a challenging time to reconsider their initial plans. Whatever the outcome, rest assured, there are plenty of options available, and they can still go on to have a fantastic university experience.
Accommodation.
[building symbol]
  It's important to discuss the accommodation choices available; students can live at home, stay in halls, or choose private accommodation. At Swansea, we have residences on both campuses and across the city, with designated areas for quiet, single-sex, alcohol-free, Welsh-speaking and mature students. See page 16 - Accommodation.

[page 48]

Making an Application.
What do you need?
Entry Requirements.
  Once you have chosen your course(s), it’s a good idea to double check entry requirements before making your UCAS application, which you can find on our course pages. See course details: www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses
  Most of our courses have a typical A-Level, BTEC or International Baccalaureate offer, and GCSE (or equivalent) minimum requirements. However, we consider you on your individual merits and welcome alternative qualifications (from both the UK and internationally). If you are not sure whether you fit our entry criteria, please get in touch with our Admissions Office.
  We are proud to be able to offer students a guaranteed conditional offer* [asterisk] to study at Swansea, so when you apply to us you can be confident that you will be on your way to securing a place at university.
  *[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.
Personal Statement.
  As part of your UCAS application, you will be asked to answer the following questions:
Q1.	Why do you want to study this course or subject? This is where you can show your passion for the subject as well as your existing knowledge. It will show universities you understand the course and you’re enthusiastic to push your understanding.
Q2.	How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course? Here you can reflect on all the knowledge, experiences and skills you have developed during your studies so far and demonstrate how they will help you going forward.
Q3.	What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences helpful? This is a chance to talk about extracurricular activities, such as hobbies, sports or further reading, and the transferable skills you have developed, such as team work, communication, and organisation.
Reference.
  All UCAS applications will ask for a reference. Your reference should be written by someone who knows your academic achievements well, and will likely be a teacher or personal tutor. Have a chat with your referee and ask them to mention anything that is important to you, such as your abilities and achievements, activities or work experience.
Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales.
  We welcome the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales qualification (formerly the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate). We accept three A-Levels, or two A-Levels and the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate.
EPQ* [asterisk].
  We are happy to consider the Extended Project Qualification, and anyone predicted grade B or above will receive an offer with a one grade reduction (e.g. AAB would become ABB plus EPQ B).
The easiest way to apply is online at:
www.ucas.com.
  The Swansea University code is S93.

[page 49]

What Happens Next?
  Once you have submitted your application to UCAS, our admissions staff will review your entry requirements, personal statement and reference. We will be looking for evidence that you have the qualifications, skills and experience necessary to study your chosen subject. If we make you an offer of study, you will be notified by UCAS.
Your Offer.
  If you receive an unconditional offer from Swansea, this is your confirmation of a place. If your offer is conditional, this means that you will be required to achieve certain grades, and your place will be confirmed once you receive your results. If you do not receive the grades you were hoping for, we will still do our best to confirm your place, or offer you an alternative such as a foundation year or closely-related course.
  More information about our admissions policies and procedures is available at:
Admissions Policies: www.swansea.ac.uk/admissions
Interviews.
  Some of our courses, such as medicine and healthcare, will ask you to attend an interview before an offer can be made. If your chosen course requires an interview, this will be confirmed on the course page. All details of your interview, including dates and what you will be expected to prepare, will be sent to you as part of the application process.

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. 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 course webpage, but we are happy to accept a range of other qualifications, so please check the course page on our website for detailed and subject-specific criteria.
  For full course details and individual UCAS course codes please search the A-Z course list via: www.swansea.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses and find the degree listed 'with Foundation Year' * [asterisk] Completion of the Foundation Year provides progression onto the degree programmes listed.
