Throughout our degree programmes the School work to provide our students with opportunities in and around the School of Health & Social Care, the city, with our industry partners and sign-post for international opportunities available to you. Our focus for you is ready you for the world of work. 

To find out about the opportinities you will have in your school, check out our student opportunities and employability webpage

As a student at Swansea University, you will have the opportunity to engage with industry, take on placement opportunities and complete work experience, so that you are fully equipped for the world of work when you leave us. This process is facilitated by the Swansea Employability Academy (SEA) which aims top provide careers advice and employment opportunities all under one roof.

Swansea Employability Academy is a central resource for all students and graduates of Swansea University, offering one-to-one careers advice, internships, bursaries, employer events, a digital jobs board and an online Career Development Course.

Visit their website to book an appointment with a career advisor, find relevant work experience, get funding for your career development, or to find the answer to your employability questions.

You can contact the Swansea Employability Academy Team here.

As an undergraduate student you will be given an Personal Tutor.  This is a member of teaching staff in the Faculty or School who acts as your key point of contact while you are at Swansea University.

You should meet with your Personal Tutor one-to-one at least once every Semester.  You may also be invited to group meetings or workshops with your Personal Tutor

Your Personal Tutor will guide and support you with your academic, professional and personal development.  They can help you with:

• Reviewing your academic progress
• Accessing academic and personal support e.g. with welfare issues
• Understanding the exam and assessment system
• Academic references for placements / job applications
• Answering any other questions you may have or recommend where to best seek advice

Tutors may also have ‘office hours’ when you can see them as well.  You can email your tutor if there is something you want to discuss and/or to arrange a meeting.

The main purpose of the Nursing Buddy Scheme is to help new students settle into Swansea University and the course, by enabling students to meet up with thier buddy on a voluntary, flexible basis to address basic concerns about student life and learn from experiences of an already established student on the course.

Buddy's are volunteer undergraduate students who will be entering their 2^nd or 3^rd year of study, who have undergone training to help equip them for their role.

Buddy's are normally matched with one or two first year students from the same course (and discipline). 

Their experiences and knowledge are of paramount importance to the effectiveness of this scheme  in helping support you in your first year!    

If you would be interested in having a Buddy in your first year please email:
