Swansea and surroundings
Cosmopolitan, convenient, contemporary- Swansea is a modern city with a maritime feel. Living here brings you all the benefits of living in a city, and the benefits of living by the sea.
From the Maritime Quarter with its beautiful marina scenery, exhibitions, places to eat and the beach beyond; to the town centre with its shops, multi-screen cinema featuring the latest film releases, bowling centre, museum, the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery and the Grand Theatre which presents live performances all year round and is one of Britain's finest regional theatres; there is always plenty to do.
At night, the city comes to life with its wide choice of clubs, bars and restaurants, many situated in the vibrant Wind Street, and the nearby village of Mumbles with its famous pub mile!
The University Campus is set between acres of green parkland and miles of sea and sand. It is a truly stunning location, just a couple of miles from the city centre and within easy reach of the beautiful Gower countryside and beaches. Founded in 1920, Swansea's thriving academic community is made up of over 10,500 students, of which over 2,000 are postgraduates, studying a wide variety of subjects.
For Sports Enthusiasts our modern sports centre includes a fully equipped gym, multi-purpose sports hall, squash courts and a climbing wall. Next to this you will find our state-of-the-art 50m Wales National Pool. Outdoor facilities include rugby, football, lacrosse, cricket pitches and tennis courts. In addition, surfing and canoeing conditions on the Gower beaches are excellent.
For Arts enthusiasts the Taliesin Arts centre, based in the heart of campus, offers a lively programme of drama, dance concerts and an eclectic mix of films, including award winning foreign language titles not usually shown in mainstream cinema.
What makes the city of Swansea so easy is its manageable size. Nothing is too far away from the centre. Regular buses run to and from the city centre and good coach, rail and motorway connections provide excellent links to many other cities in the UK. Less
