Internet Access

Swansea University has a campus-wide wireless network which can be accessed via Eduroam.

Note that support for Eduroam should be provided by your home institution's IT staff.

If you do not have access to Eduroam: The University's Library Information Services are pleased to offer delegates access to the campus WIFI (wireless) network or use of a networked computer during your stay - collect a form from the Conference Registration/Abstracts Desk.

About Swansea University

Founded in 1920, the University stands in parkland overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula, Britain's first 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. As Wales' second city, Swansea enjoys a full range of social, cultural and sporting amenities and excellent transport links. From the campus you can travel along the sea front to the Marina and the city centre, or to the vibrant old fishing village of Mumbles. Situated between the lively modern city of Swansea and the unspoiled beaches of the Gower Peninsula the location is unparalleled. The Gower ends at the spectacular three-mile beach of Rhossili, which is a mecca for surfers. The south coast also attracts walkers, wind surfers, rock-climbers and hang-gliding enthusiasts.
