Study and live by the sea
When you choose to continue your
university education, you’re embarking on
a new adventure and a career-enhancing
experience.
We believe that postgraduate study at
Swansea should be an inspiring
experience which offers great rewards.
Our Master’s and Research programmes
are carried out in a dynamic, challenging
and intellectual environment with the
support and guidance of leading
academics. You will have opportunities to
be part of developments in your field and
contribute to projects that break boundaries
and lead discovery.
Our campus lifestyle fosters a welcoming,
cosmopolitan community that offers
something for everyone. Then there’s our
location, which gives you the best of every
world: we’re situated in rolling parkland on
the majestic three-mile sweep of Swansea
Bay, and within easy reach of the bustling
city of Swansea.
When you choose to study at Swansea
University, you not only become part of an
ambitious, research-led institution but you
also benefit from living in the one of the
UK’s most naturally beautiful regions. It’s no
wonder many of our graduates choose to
stay here long after their studies.

schools. In 2012 there were 100 Master’s
Scholarships worth £2,700 towards fees.
