I got accepted to other places like Liverpool and Sheffield but chose Swansea at the end because I realised I just really liked it here. The people are all friendly and social, all the lecturers are very kind and manage to keep your attention, obviously with a few exceptions as you will have anywhere, but overall, they are great lecturers who are always willing to help us understand everything so we can do our very best. The content is very up-to-date and career-focused rather than exam-focused which I like. They try to prepare you more for the future rather than just pass the exam by explaining concepts that may not be in the exam but are useful to know. Swansea also has strong connections with companies in the industry such as Rolls-Royce which has premises on the campus, AWE and others which is useful when applying for year-in-industry placements. read more

The course is great and very useful. My personal tutor gives me endless advice on what to study and module specific information, and although University fees are increasing, this course in particular is probably worth more for the amount you pay. Te quality of teaching is generally really good, however in the 6 lecturers we have for each of our 6 modules per semester, there is usually 1 or 2 lecturers that don’t seem to have the same standard of teaching as others and are really difficult to learn anything from in their lectures read more

Teaching is a mixed bag, some of it is good and some is downright terrible. Many lecturers do not properly prepare you for coursework or exams. Lecture notes are often terrible and you are not properly told what you should even be studying text books, just given a list of several 1200 page recommended books. Rooms are often overcrowded and either too hot or freezing cold. Many students got in through clearing and are not serious, always talking through lectures wich makes it difficult to concentrate. Many lectures are delivered in a extremely booring way. Feedback to the uni is never acted on. Many of the staff are completely unhelpful and even though they are supposed to make themselves available for an office hour each week, fail to do so. Staff often treat you as if they are doing you a favour by 'teaching' you. read more
