Global Swansea

Our research-led university is continually exploring, analysing, and solving global challenges through an interdisciplinary approach. We are a top 30 UK university (REF14) and have expertise in many areas including steel, sustainable energy including solar, and health.

We believe that issues affecting many, cannot be solved by one; this is why we work with organisations, educational establishments, research centres, and academics internationally to pioneer advancements and make changes to improve the planet and people's lives. Our work is not only looking at the world as a whole, but at individual communities; locally in Wales and further afield, focusing on deprived communities in India, and digital communities online; our research works with real people to make real changes.

Our vision for research is simple; to use our knowledge and our people to help improve our world, looking at the past to inspire future innovation, and making changes to improve people's lives globally.
