Here at Swansea we do things differently, making sure that from the moment students start their journey with us, they have all careers advice and employment opportunities under one roof. The Swansea Employability Academy (SEA) is affiliated with AGCAS and ensures that learning and experience exist in tandem, leading to a successful graduate career. Students will have the opportunity to engage with industry and take on placement opportunities and work experience, so that they are fully equipped for the world of work when they graduate.

SEA want students to make the most of their university experience, and currently offer a £100 grant to those wanting to host networking events for a society or club. Professional careers advice is available online, and the Employment Zone’s digital jobs board is regularly updated.

There are also a range of internship programmes available at Swansea, including:
• Swansea Paid Internship Network (SPIN) – 4 week graduate level internships supported by SEA specialists, with grants available for employers to support salaries.
• Santander Universities Placement Programme – Paid work experience for students and recent graduates within local SMEs and third sector organisations. Santander also offers flexible grants to these employers.
• Week of Work (WoW) - 1 week, unpaid ‘tester’ placements for shorter projects within a wide range of organisations, occasionally extended to 2 weeks. Bursaries are available to support student expenses.

Certain courses offer sandwich degrees with a year in industry, for which students take advantage of Swansea’s employer links with BBC, Airbus, Microsoft, GSK, Fujitsu, Pfizer, Unilever and Sky to name a few. Alternatively, our Go Global team support those wanting to take a year abroad to study, work or volunteer in another country.

Entrepreneurship is also heavily supported at Swansea University. Our Student Enterprise team hold competitions for student entrepreneurs, such as the Big Pitch, where this year £22,000 was awarded to 10 start-up companies. Recent successes include an aviation simulation business, the sustainable GoGo Coffee Co, and graduate-run Easily Eco.
