Technium Digital - Swansea University

Swansea University alone has over 15,000 students and offers more than 500 undergraduate and 130 postgraduate courses in a wide range of subject areas, from American Studies to Zoology.

More than 6,500 students had enrolled to study at Swansea Metropolitan University, which has four faculties: Faculty of Applied Design & Engineering, Faculty of Art & Design, Faculty of Business and Management and Faculty of Humanities.

Trinity's students come from all over the UK, plus there is a growing community of international students studying at the campus. In July 2009, Trinity University College was formally merged with University of Wales Lampeter. The new Institution, called University of Wales:Trinity St David, accepted its first cohort of students in September 2010.

All three universities have students from overseas, representing more than 30 countries world-wide, ranging from Scandanavia, Europe, India, China, USA, Canada, South America and many others too numerous to name. In today's global market place, knowledge and ability to work effectively with others is vital and having overseas students is important to university life, not just from an educational perspective but also culturally, raising social awareness and understanding.
