Swansea University is a public research university in South Wales. It was established in 1920 as a university college within the federal University of Wales and later became an independent university in its own right. Today it enrols around 19,000 students across three faculties covering Medicine, Health and Life Science, Science and Engineering, and Humanities and Social Sciences.
The university operates two coastal campuses in Swansea. Singleton Park, the historic campus, sits between parkland and the beach, while the Bay Campus, opened in 2015, lies directly on the seafront to the east of the city and houses much of the engineering and management provision. Swansea is known for its research in engineering, computer science, health and medicine, including a graduate entry medicine programme, and for close partnerships with industry. The university combines a strong research profile with a reputation for high levels of student satisfaction, and its location on Swansea Bay, near the Gower Peninsula, gives it a distinctive coastal setting.
Information for International Students
Swansea University has an international community of several thousand students drawn from more than 100 countries. International students are supported by dedicated teams offering visa and immigration advice, including guidance on the Student visa application and Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), as well as arrival information and induction events through the International@Campus Life programme.
The typical English language requirement is IELTS 6.0 for most undergraduate courses and IELTS 6.5 for most postgraduate degrees, with some programmes setting higher levels. Applicants who need to improve their English can take pre-sessional courses run by English Language Training Services, which is accredited by the British Council and BALEAP.
International pathway programmes are delivered by The College, Swansea University, a joint venture with Navitas based in a purpose-built building on the Bay Campus. It offers foundation, International Year One and Pre-Master's routes leading to degrees at the university, and students are enrolled as Swansea University students from the start. First-year international students are guaranteed university accommodation provided they apply by the annual deadline. Eligible graduates may apply for the UK Graduate Route.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Swansea University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Swansea University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Swansea University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
