Student Opportunities and Employability

Throughout our degree programmes we work to provide our students with opportunities in and around your School, the city with our industry partners and sign-post for international opportunities available to you. Our focus is to ready you for the world of work. To find out about the opportinities you will have in your School check out our student enterprise 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 Careers and Employability team who aim to provide careers advice and employment opportunities all under one roof.

Student Societies

Occupational Therapy Society

Being part of a Society is great fun, societies host regular socials, ranging from nights out and non-drinking socials in and around Swansea to trips in the local area & further afield!

They offer the opportunity for you to get the most of your uni experience by offering the chance to get to know your course mates and meet true friends while at uni. It is always important to have a good balance between work & pleasure, hence why we run the regular socials, as well as trips & days out in & around Swansea!
