Welcome to Residential Services
We understand that moving to a new country is a big step, that’s why we guarantee accommodation for international students during your first year of study, provided you apply by the annual 30 June deadline (Undergratuate and Postgraduate).
Finding the right accommodation can make a real difference when it comes to settling in and feeling at home. We have several accommodation options available, and our dedicated Residential Services team are on hand to assist you, every step of the way.
Which option is best for me?
Choosing your accommodation depends on a number of factors, such as what course you are studying, the location you would like to live in, and your preference of cooking and living arrangements. Single sex and alcohol-free accommodation is available in all residences, and we have a number of adapted and accessible rooms if required. Please specify if you would like to live in one of these areas on your application.
If you are living overseas, it might be difficult to view residences in person, so we have some helpful virtual tours available. We also recommend you attend any virtual Open Day events where you can ask questions and join talks.
Take a look at Our Residences to find out more about the different accommodation available during your first year of study.
Living Off-Campus
If you decide you would rather live off-campus, there is plenty of good quality accommodation in the private sector. Please visit StudentPad to view available properties online, or explore options available from other Student Accommodation Providers below.
Student Message Board
The Swansea University Student Message Board is a free service for students to meet and chat with other students who want to live together in the Swansea area. Use the message board to find available rooms and flatmates, or to let students know if there is a room spare in your student house.
