What their Students Say
I’ve always dreamed of studying in the UK, and studying at a university with state-of-the-art Early Childhood Studies. When I was in high school in China, I found my major was too limited. I thought the childcare courses offered by Swansea University would enable me to learn more comprehensive and advanced knowledge. I am studying Early Childhood Studies. I really enjoy the courses, which is exciting and includes a combination of online and in-person lessons in the first semester. The lecturers are fascinating and there is active interaction, group discussions, presentations and participation from every student. Swansea University have a high-quality learning environment and two amazing campuses. It is a fascinating choice to study at Swansea University.
Swansea University is one of the top-ranked universities in the world. Also, it is known as one of the best in academic research in different fields. Besides, Wales is beautiful like heaven and Swansea is a very lovely town that anyone would like to visit or live in. It was a great experience, academically and socially. Staff are very lovely, helpful, and so supportive whether they are academic or administrative. Socially, Welsh people are very kind, helpful, and great people, I’m glad that I met them.
