Swansea University – Where Bright Futures Begin
Outstanding Facilities
As the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is multidisciplinary, it houses a vast array of cutting-edge facilities to cater to a diverse group of students that will not only foster classroom learning but hand-on learning as well.
Many of our laboratories and equipment closely emulate what one would see at industry level which is a huge advantage for students as they can experience using the technology first-hand and gain exposure to what they can expect to see in industry.
For example, Chemical Engineering students can have use of the 15 pilot-scale rigs in the Pilot Plant which was famously featured in an episode of BBC’s Dr Who.
Other departments such as Sports Science have the Exercise Physiology Lab and Biomechanics Lab.
Some other advanced equipment housed within the school include Transmission Electron Microscopes that can image things as small as a fingernail growing in a millisecond, 3D printing labs, sites for polymer and composite production and testing, a Cell/Tissue Engineering Lab, and so much more.
The school is also home to the Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI) which focuses on sustainable energy solutions, the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering and advanced computational modelling, and the Centre for Nanohealth which combines nanotechnology with medical science.
Students can feel confident that they will never be short of inspiration in their environment.
