In the prestigious Times and Sunday Times, Good University Guide 2019, we have risen six places

Welsh University of the Year title for the second time in three years, cementing our position as
Wales’ leading higher education institution.
Swansea University is top in Wales in The Guardian University Guide 2020. The proportion of

rating possible, in the national Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) and are
ranked UK Top 10 for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey for 2019.
