Rhossili Bay’s gorgeous views and expansive sands made quite an impression on our current 1st year cohort.

Students were delighted to finally have the opportunity to relax together and socialise at one of Gower’s most popular beaches. Rain looked likely, but fortunately, the weather stayed dry and mild during our group visit.

 “It’s one of the best views I’ve ever seen, and Worms Head Island reminds me of my favourite beach at home,” said Nick, who is originally from Cambodia.

Roedd myfyrwyr Rhyngwladol yr ail flwyddyn wedi dathlu eu Graddio U2 yn ddiweddar yn Ysgol Fusnes Plas Sgeti. 

Second year International students recently celebrated their A2 Graduation at our Sketty Hall Business School.

The Class of ‘21 are certainly to be commended on completion of their studies this year. The cohort consists of students from China, Italy, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan who commenced their A Level programmes in September 2019.

Gower College Swansea has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Prometheus School in Noida, India.

Prometheus School is CAIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education) accredited and was attracted to Gower College Swansea by our experience and success in the A Level programme. This exciting partnership will collaborate on a number of areas including summer and winter schools, online tutorials, and the Oxbridge Preparation Programme.

Gower College Swansea joins forces with WorldSkills UK to demonstrate world-class skills.

Students at Gower College Swansea demonstrated their world-class electronic engineering skills when they took part in a virtual training event with students from across China. 

The event was the first of its kind to be held in Wales, and was organised by WorldSkills UK, the education and skills charity, supporting its programme to exchange best practice in skills development with countries around the world.

A very unique and special signing ceremony was held on Wednesday 1 July between Gower College Swansea and Huashang Foreign Language Experimental School, Guangdong Province, China.

Huashang Foreign Language Experimental School is an international school with primary, junior and high school education, on a campus which occupies circa 60,000 square metres.

Internationalisation is a priority for Gower College Swansea, and it welcomes students from China each year to study a range of programmes, including our A Levels.

Thanks to the wonders of digital technology, our international students had a very different graduation ceremony to previous years.

On the 29 June, our A Level students attended an online event, which had various messages from staff across the College, including Principal, Mark Jones.

Students enjoyed a slideshow of their social programme followed by a presentation of the certificates by Terry Summerfield, International Tutor.

Mae Jarrett Zhang yn dathlu ar ôl cael ysgoloriaeth £180,000 gan gwmni mwyngloddio Rio Tinto i astudio Daeareg yng Ngholeg Imperial Llundain.

Bydd Jarrett, a gafodd dwy radd A* ac un A yn ei arholiadau Safon Uwch yn ddiweddar, yn derbyn £45,000 y flwyddyn dros gyfnod o bedair blynedd, i dalu am ffioedd dysgu a chostau byw. Cafodd ysgoloriaeth Rio Tinto ei roi i ddau fyfyriwr yn unig yn 2019 ac felly mae hyn yn gyflawniad gwych.

Roedd Jarrett hefyd wedi dathlu llwyddiant chwaraeon eleni pan enillodd bencampwriaethau tennis bwrdd Colegau Cymru 2019.
