Set in an absolutely stunning location between the Gower Peninsula and Swansea Bay, the university campus is regarded as one of the finest in the UK. Many students walk past the sweet smelling botanical gardens of Singleton Park on their way to lectures. Swansea is only a short drive away from Cardiff, the cosmopolitan capital city of Wales.
 ÂBackground and History
The University officially opened its doors in 1920 and a small and select group of students enrolled. A period of gradual expansion followed, and by 1939 there were 65 staff and 485 students. One of the proudest moments in the history of Swansea University came during the 1960s, when the now famous Professor Olek Zienkiewicz developed the "finite element method" Swansea has continued to excel academically ever since.
Location and Accessibility
Travel by rail: Students are warned that train tickets to Swansea, as with other locations, can be very expensive. However, there is a high speed rail link from London and an established network with other UK cities.
Travel by road: Drivers are advised to take the A42, leaving at junction 42 for Fabian Way. The University is well signposted.
The University has an inclusive policy and has invested a great deal in facilities for people with accessibility issues. As well as dedicated parking spaces, there are ramps, adapted toilet facilities and lifts on the campus.
