Facts and Figures: What You'll Find At The University

  1. In the Research Excellence Framework of 2014, Swansea University achieved its ambition to become a UK top 30 research institution.Our REF ranking of 26th was the “biggest leap among research-intensive institutions”, according to Times Higher Education. Now, as the university is in its centenary year in 2020, we have new goals. They are to:
    • Continue our ambitious expansion plans
    • Extend our global reach; and
    • Move closer to becoming one of the world’s top 200 universities.

    In REF 2014* the quality of Swansea’s research was put on a par with or out-performed six Russell Group universities. We were also ranked 22nd for the impact of that research.

    To achieve this we had doubled our world-leading academic researchers over the previous six years, something that has proved central to the stimulating and enriching teaching and student experience provided at Swansea. But it does not stop there.
