Don’t just take our word for it:
"From day one, my lecturers were passionate, encouraging, and enthusiastic and I enjoyed every second of it. After attending several career days at Swansea and doing some work experience, I decided I wanted to be a solicitor. Given that many of the lecturers had been or still were lawyers themselves, they supported me through the entire process.
I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support I received at Swansea. I was given some amazing opportunities, lots of which I still speak about in job interviews today (doing work experience in Botswana will always be a highlight). My lecturers believed in me and gave me the push I needed to start my career and I will always be grateful for that."
