We are looking forward to welcoming you to your upcoming graduation at our stunning Bay Campus. More information will follow later this week regarding where you need to go on the day and what you can expect, but here are some quick travel tips ahead of your visit!
We suggest allowing yourself plenty of time to arrive and familiarise yourself with your surroundings. On the day of your graduation congregation students are advised to arrive approximately 1.5 hours before your congregation.
Have a question or query? Please consult our web pages for more information or you can reach out to our Graduation Team who will be happy to assist you.
Travelling by car
Car parking will be available at Fabian Way Park and Ride, a £1 charge will be payable on arrival into the car park, and luxury coaches and accessible buses will then take you to and from our Bay Campus.
Simply enter ‘Fabian Way Park and Ride’ into your navigation App or SA1 8LD into your sat nav.
Coaches will run continuously throughout the day, the journey time is roughly 10 minutes (depending on traffic). You can view the timetable here.
The first return coach back to Fabian Way Park and Ride will depart once the first ceremony of the day has finished, at approximately 10:45AM.
Please note, there is no car parking available at our Bay Campus, this is normal for both students and staff.
Uber now operates in Swansea; this renowned on-demand service is ready when you are, alongside your usual local approved taxi providers.
Travelling by train or bus
Our Bay Campus is roughly a 15-minute car journey from both Swansea’s train and bus stations.
Swansea has well-connected train and bus stations home to multiple routes around Swansea, Wales, The Marches, Manchester and The South of England.
