Swansea University has been producing world class research since 1920. We have a long history of working with business and industry but today our research has a much wider impact, reaching across the health, wealth, culture, and well-being of a global society.

 

We have achieved an extraordinary level of success in recent years with our research activity exceeding that of many larger universities. This, though, has not compromised the friendly and relaxed atmosphere that has always characterised the “Swansea experience”. 

 

As we continue our journey as a 21st century University, we look forward to becoming a truly global institution, focusing on the big issues, and improving lives, while continuing to provide inspirational teaching.
