Additional Information

Visit us

We ecourage all students to visit us if they can by attending on of our Open Days or scheduling a Campus Tour. That said, we understand that it is quite a journey to visit us at Aberystwyth and are happy to answer any questions that you may have via email or video call.

If you enjoy the quaint sea village and a smaller university vibe, I think Aber would be the place for you. The classes are relatively intimate making it a more personal learning experience - especially for less popular courses like mine.
