The University is made up of three faculties and you will be joining the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS). FHSS has four schools: 

• School of Culture and Communication 
• Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law
• School of Management
• School of Social Sciences

During your time here you’re taught within your home School, and potentially by another School if you are on a Joint-Honours programme, but we’re all part of the vibrant Faculty community. This means that there will be Faculty-wide social, academic and community events throughout the year, which will provide you with the opportunity to meet, socialise and learn with colleagues and students from the other Schools.

You will have lots of opportunities in induction week to meet the people on your course. Your programme induction sessions will include activities which will let you interact with lots of different people. Make sure you swap contact details with people who you’d like to get to know more! As you’ll see from the Welcome Week timetable, there are plenty of opportunities to meet people within your programme, School and across the University. Once teaching starts, you will have even more formal contact hours where you’ll be mixing with lots of other students – don’t be afraid to suggest meeting up for a coffee or sticking around for a chat after lectures. If you’re living in University accommodation, you will also be surrounded by other students and will have every opportunity to make friends.  

You will meet many of your lecturers during the induction programme put on by your programme. Lots of the planned activities will help you get to know your lecturers and find out a little bit about them. You will also meet your Academic Mentor during induction week or soon afterwards. Your mentor will oversee your academic progress throughout your degree and help to guide you through your studies. Once teaching starts, in addition to timetabled teaching, your lecturers will hold regular office hours when you will be able to contact them to discuss questions or concerns – or even just to have a chat about something interesting you talked about in class! 

When you start University you will be allocated an Personal Tutor, usually a member of teaching staff from your programme. They will contact you via your University email to arrange regular meetings throughout the year, and will be able to support you with a range of queries including; signposting to pastoral support, academic guidance, employability and more. You can find out who your tutor is and their contact details by logging into your individual Intranet page, under Course Details > Course Contacts.

As University, we recognise that many of our students may have caring responsibilities. We aim to provide a welcoming environment for all our students and want to support you to achieve success.

As the University is a place of work and study and our buildings, activities and risk control measures are not generally designed for children. Please note, children should not be brought into learning and teaching spaces (unless for an organised event). The Children on University Premises policy has more information.

The Students’ Union Nursery provides high quality and affordable childcare on Singleton Campus for children aged from 3 months up to their 8th Birthday. For more information on childcare and schooling please refer to Council web pages:

If you're a UK student, check out the University's guide to student finances for student parents. We have also developed a comprehensive Family Information Guide for our international students.

For information and support on student pregnancy, please visit our webpages.

Joining a Students’ Union Society is great way to get plugged into the wider University community and meet like-minded people. There are a vast range of sports and societies on offer - from Rugby to Robot Wars, Baking to British Sign Language, Tea to Tree, Dance to Dead Writers... there’s something for everyone! Academic subjects also have their own student-led societies who play an active role in organising activities linked to their subject area. For a full list of societies and their contact details, see the Student's Union Societies web page.

Your First Steps Session in Welcome Week will introduce you to the main IT platforms we use across the University, and your lecturers will let you know about any course-specific software you’ll be using in your studies.  

Before you arrive, you could prepare by downloading Canvas, our digital learning platform. Each of your modules will be hosted on Canvas, which will store many of the learning resources you’ll need. You’ll also access the HRC School of Law Canvas Hub, which is your one-stop-shop for key information, resources, contacts and events throughout your studies.

The University uses Zoom for meetings, conferences and information sessions, so it’s a good idea to download this. Once you’re enrolled, you’ll be able to log on with your University account on your computer, tablet or phone. If you’re not yet familiar with Zoom the University have produced further information and user guides.  

Please visit the University Enrolment webpages for guidance on how to enrol. If you experience any problems with online enrolment, please contact MyUniHub on myunihub@swansea.ac.uk and the team will be happy to help.
