Swansea Metropolitan University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Swansea Metropolitan University was a public university in Swansea, Wales, now part of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. It suits students who are looking for a former UK university record and want to see the kinds of foundation and bachelor's options it listed before the merger.

  3. Getting in

    As a former university, applications should be checked against the current institution that absorbed it: the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. For an international applicant, confirm the present entry requirements, document list, and whether the programme you want is still available on the official website before applying.

  4. What it costs

    A tuition fee is not published for this institution. Confirm the current cost with the admissions office of the university that now operates the campus, and check separately for living costs in Swansea, which will depend on housing, transport, and day-to-day spending.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not published. Before applying from abroad, check whether your chosen programme is still offered, what documents are required, whether your qualifications are accepted, and how immigration or visa steps are handled by the current university.

  6. How it compares

    In the United Kingdom, there are 193 universities. Swansea Metropolitan University is no longer an independent university; its main distinguishing point is that it became a constituent campus of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in 2013, so it should be compared as a historical institution rather than as a current standalone option.
