EnglishHow to Find Undergraduate, Postgraduate Taught, and Postgraduate Research Courses at Swansea University
Updated
Swansea University's official website (swansea.ac.uk) organises its course listings into three separate categories: Undergraduate, Postgraduate Taught, and Postgraduate Research. You can reach all three from the "Find your perfect course" section on the homepage, or via the Study pages. Each category has its own "See all" listing page, so the fastest route is to pick your level first, then browse or search within it.
The three course categories
| Category | Who it's for | Where it leads on the site |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate Courses | First degrees (e.g. BA, BSc, BEng) | "See all Undergraduate courses" |
| Postgraduate Taught Courses | Taught master's and similar (e.g. MA, MSc) | "See all Postgraduate Taught courses" |
| Postgraduate Research Courses | Research degrees (e.g. PhD, MPhil) | "See all Postgraduate Research courses" |
The homepage presents these as three parallel links under "Find your perfect course," each with its own "See all" entry point. If you already know your level, go straight to the matching "See all" page rather than starting from a general search.
Step-by-step: finding your course
- Start at swansea.ac.uk. The "Find your perfect course" block sits on the homepage with the three category links.
- Choose your level. Select Undergraduate, Postgraduate Taught, or Postgraduate Research depending on the qualification you're after.
- Open the full listing. Use the "See all" link for that category to see the complete set of courses rather than a featured selection.
- Filter and compare. Course pages typically carry the details you need to judge fit — duration, entry requirements, and campus. Swansea runs two campuses, Singleton and Bay, so check which one a course is based at.
- Confirm the practical details. Before applying, verify entry requirements and campus location on the individual course page, since these vary by programme.
Applying and supporting resources
Once you've shortlisted a course, the site provides several routes forward:
- Apply online — the main application entry point linked from the homepage.
- Open Days — Swansea runs Open Days (the site promotes an autumn Open Day with a "Book your place" link), useful for seeing campuses and asking course-specific questions.
- Prospectus — downloadable via "Download a prospectus" for a full printed-style overview.
- Clearing — if you're applying late or looking for a place for 2026, the Clearing help section and phone line are available.
- Ask a question — a contact route if a course page doesn't answer something specific.
What to check before you decide
- Campus matters. Singleton and Bay are distinct locations; confirm your course's campus before committing, as it affects travel and accommodation.
- Level naming. "Postgraduate Taught" and "Postgraduate Research" are separate listings — a master's by research sits in the research category, not the taught one.
- Entry requirements vary. Don't assume requirements carry across courses; read the individual course page.
- Timing. The site references September entry and Clearing for 2026, so check current deadlines on the relevant course or Clearing page rather than relying on general dates.
If you're still deciding between levels, the Study pages give an overview of campus life and study options, while the three "See all" listings let you compare actual courses side by side.
