Gower College Swansea has recently funded the painting of three telecom boxes near their campuses, two at Sketty Green and one at Tycoch.

The project, in partnership with local Councillors Mike Day and Cheryl Philpott, aims to improve the community feeling around the campuses. The work was carried out by Ffion Nolwenn, a past student of the College from local company, Fresh Creative Co.

It was all hands on deck at Gower College Swansea when Swans Ambassador Lee Trundle dropped by to lend his support to a brand new litter picking initiative at the Tycoch campus.

The initiative will see a different tutor group from Tycoch patrol the area around the campus every Thursday, covering four routes in Tycoch/Sketty using equipment kindly donated by City and Council of Swansea.  

Gower College Swansea was delighted to host a series of events last week at its Tycoch Campus in the run up to Radio 1’s Academy at the Swansea Grand Theatre in May.

On Friday 20 April students had the opportunity to take part in a Q&A workshop with BBC Radio 1’s DJ Matt Edmondson where they got the opportunity to explore how a live broadcast is put together and the tricks of the trade that go with it.

A brand new £4 million redevelopment project at Gower College Swansea has been officially opened by Eluned Morgan AM, Minister for Welsh Language and Lifelong Learning.

The redevelopment, which has transformed the front of the Tycoch campus into a modern learning and social space, saw an investment of £1.5 million from the Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools and Education Programme.

The ground floor boasts a new reception area, common room and retail coffee shop as well as student-centred offices such as admissions, funding and careers guidance.

Students and staff at Gower College Swansea have celebrated the official reopening of the library at the Tycoch campus.

The innovative learning space, which was opened by BBC Wales presenter and children’s author Lucy Owen, includes a collaborative area, an information learning technology studio, an acoustic pod and individual / group study spaces.

Please be aware that the free Park & Ride service that has run from Fforestfach to the Tycoch campus since November will STOP on Friday 7 April.

Additional parking spaces will become available at Tycoch over the coming weeks as a number of our temporary portacabins are removed from site.

Please can you ensure that you park in designated parking bays. Disabled bays can only be used when displaying an official blue disabled badge or a College disabled parking permit.

The redevelopment of the front of Gower College Swansea’s Tycoch campus is set to begin, with the old façade to be replaced with new and improved facilities that will benefit all students and staff.

Together with Welsh Government support, the College will be investing over £3.5million in the project which will see contractors TRJ create modern learning and social accommodation.

The ground floor will consist of a brand new reception, space for student support services & student funding, a coffee shop and common room area.

A group of Health and Social Care students from Gower College Swansea have been working hard to raise awareness of domestic abuse issues.

The Level 2 Diploma students were inspired to act following a recent tutorial session delivered by the local multi-agency domestic abuse ‘One Stop Shop.’

Following on from this tutorial, the students decided to support the White Ribbon Campaign, an initiative - devised by men – that is aimed at encouraging everyone to stand up to those who commit violence against women.
