Swansea’s research-led growth to create 500 new jobs

Five hundred new jobs are expected to be created at Swansea University over three years due to its receipt of more than _30 million in new research funding.

This growth is planned in the face of fierce national and international competition for research funding.
Swansea University pro vice-chancellor (research) Professor Nigel Weatherill said: “This is a reflection of the quality of staff at Swansea. They have extensive knowledge of their fields of interest and are able to put forward proposals for research projects that meet the requirements of funding agencies, such as the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).”

Research funding has been obtained from the UK Research Councils, Government departments, the Welsh Assembly Government, the European Union, and the numerous commercial and industrial partners whose collaborative work with the university leads to innovative solutions and new products.

Swansea University vice-chancellor Professor Richard B Davies said the university had ambitious plans to help transform Swansea into a modern science city. “These 500 new jobs are an impressive start but we will not be resting on our laurels.”

The university’s planned growth follows hot on the heels of its success winning the Best Student Experience award in 2005. Over 10,000 undergraduates assessed their universities in the Times Higher Education Supplement survey and Swansea emerged the overall winner with high ratings for its facilities, prospects and social life. Swansea University was again one of The Sunday Times University Guide's Top 20 academic institutions in the UK for the quality of its teaching. The university was rated 16th for 'Teaching Satisfaction' in the 2005 Guide.
