Location

THE DISTINGUISHED SWANSEA UNIVERSITY is set in rolling parkland overlooking the glorious Swansea Bay. The campus is a stone’s throw from the old fishing village of Mumbles, situated at the entrance
to the picturesque Gower Peninsula, Britain’s first “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”.

It is a region of stunning landscapes complimented by a host of holiday
attractions such as: - abseiling, climbing, bird-watching, hang-gliding, paragliding, pony-trekking, walking, surfing, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing and, naturally, considering the number of fabulous golden beaches, swimming. Mumble’s unique seaside
atmosphere is complemented by a vibrant social scene. Travel just a few minutes in the other direction and you reach the Maritime Quarter, a modern waterfront village complete with restaurants, art gallery, theatre and a busy marina.

Swansea itself is a lively city. Its friendly shopping centre includes a world-famous indoor market that dates back to the Middle Ages and offers traditional, locally-produced food. Culturally, the city is home to the Dylan Thomas Centre, which celebrates the life and work of the great Welsh poet. Theatres, festivals, museums and galleries enhance Swansea’s rich cultural diversity
