Our Swansea Campus has five halls of residence, based on two separate campuses. There are over 300 rooms for first year students to apply for with a mixture a standard study bedrooms and rooms with en-suite facilities.
When students apply for a place in halls they can specify their preference on where they would like to stay. The Accommodation Department will then allocate all rooms in halls over the summer from July until September. Every effort will be made to give students one of their three main preferences although because of demand this may not always be possible.
