Our Exam Travel Top Tips
- Plan ahead and get to know your exam venue. Instead of catching the last bus before your exam, give yourself plenty of time! There are a number of earlier services that will get you to your exams in time, and with our student spaces and catering outlets open from 08.00am, you can grab a coffee and breakfast from Harbwr or Swansea Social Hideaway.
- Use the First Bus journey planner or the App to help you plan.
- Get to know the First Bus network maps for all connecting services in Swansea and the surrounding area if you are travelling from further afield.
- Use Tap on Tap Off if you don’t have a bus pass. It is capped at £4 for all day travel across the student network.
- If you have any queries or concerns about using the bus to travel to your exams, email us at: travel@swansea.ac.uk.
How about walking or cycling to your exam?
If it’s practical, why not walk or cycle to your exam venue and benefit from some gentle, pre-exam exercise to reduce stress and help you focus?
- If you already have a bike, there are plenty of facilities at each exam location to securely lock your bike. If you haven’t got winter lights, a D lock, or your bike marked and registered, visit us at one of our reception desks with your bike to pick up free lights and a lock. We’ll be bike marking again in December, full details here.
- You could try using one of our Swansea University Cycles which are located at or near to your exam locations. Our cycling hubs are at Singleton and Bay Campus, Fabian Way Park and Ride, The Mumbles, Swansea Guildhall and Swansea Central Bus
