Swansea Business School

1st in Business Studies

Welcome to Swansea Business School. Employability is our key focus. We take an applied, employment-based approach to all our programmes.

You will experience innovative, student-led approaches to learning, delivered by professionals and academics who ALL have experience in industry.

We understand the real world.

Every undergraduate student will work with an employer to gain practical real-world work experience. We see this as critical for you to understand the relationship of theory into practice.

All courses are designed to instil in graduates the attributes desired by employers, e.g. innovation, creativity, an enterprising mindset and responsiveness to unexpected events or tasks.

We offer extensive support to those who need it and ‘stretch’ activities for those who want to be challenged further.
