Swansea University Rankings 2025

In Swansea, Wales, the United Kingdom, Swansea University is a public research university. As the fourth college of the University of Wales, it was established in 1920 as University College of Swansea. Following institutional changes within the University of Wales, its name was changed to the University of Wales Swansea in 1996.  On September 1, 2007, when the University of Wales became a non-membership confederal organization and the former members became universities in their own right, the name Swansea University was formally adopted.

In terms of student enrolment, it is Wales' third-largest university. It provides 20,375 undergraduate and graduate students with roughly 450 undergraduate courses, 280 postgraduate teaching courses, and 150 postgraduate research courses.

Swansea University has operated solely out of the Singleton Park Campus for the majority of its existence. However, due to its rapid growth, the university built a 65-acre, beachside Bay Campus for research and innovation, which debuted in September 2015. Since that time, Swansea University has functioned as a dual-campus institution, with the Bay Campus at Crymlyn Burrows and the 'Park Campus' in the historic Singleton Park grounds.
