🏫 We've welcomed our first visitors to our newly renovated campus!

It was a pleasure to welcome back former students Eden and Hank, who visited the team and shared updates on their impressive academic journeys.

Eden went on to study BSc Economics at the University of Manchester, where he graduated in the top 0.5% of the Faculty of Humanities, before progressing to the London School of Economics (LSE) to study MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics. Following his studies, Eden is hoping to pursue a research position at the University of Cambridge.

Hank studied BA Politics, Philosophy and Economics, before continuing his academic journey at Imperial College London, completing an MSt in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management. In fact, he finished his final exams just two days ago!

We're incredibly proud of all they have achieved and were delighted to welcome them back to campus ⭐

Students experienced A Level classes at our Gorseinon Campus, taking part in Science, Art and Humanities taster sessions, and visited Tycoch and Sketty Hall for forensic science, organ dissection, and English language classes 🔬💡
