The GO! Programme

Social Activities, Events and Volunteering Opportunities

International@CampusLife's GO! Programme of events, activities and trips gives students the opportunity to make the most of their student experience. We'd love to see you get involved in as many activities as possible throughout the year.

Be sure to visit our Arrival, Enrolment and Social Activities page and our event listings on Native to learn about all things that are happening, both online and in-person, to welcome you to Swansea University this year!

We run a wide variety of GO! Trips, GO! Socials, GO! Eat and other GO! Events throughout the year - we'd love you to be part of them. Not everyone can attend in-person events right now, so we also have virtual events to help you discover and learn about some places that we run in-person trips to. Be sure to check them out!

Getting involved as much as possible is a great way to meet people, feel part of the university community and settle into your new home. Our activities are always advertised on our social media pages, so give us a follow to make sure you don't miss anything. You can find our social media sites, where you can see some of the stuff we have done in the past and what's coming up in the future, by heading to:

We also recommend joining our Facebook Group: Official Swansea University International Students' Group

GO! Trips

GO! Trips give students the opportunity to discover places, in Wales and beyond, that they might not usually get to see!

We regularly arrange day trips to places of interest and beauty, history and culture, as well as shopping and fun, throughout the year. Mostly these are in Wales, giving you the chance to learn about and discover this small but beautiful country – although we do offer trips across the border to England too (and we are always looking for new and interesting locations!).

GO! Trips are designed to give those attending an introduction to their new area, an opportunity to make memories and see things they might not see otherwise. They are also an absolutely fantastic way to build friendships and grow our community.

If you’re not currently here in Swansea, we’ve also designed some interactive Virtual GO! Trips which you can find here

For information and announcements on upcoming trips, be sure to follow our social media channels on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter - search @CampusLifeSU. You can also sign up with our Campus Life ticketing website to secure your place and buy tickets for future events.

Some of our previous and upcoming GO! Trips include:

• A tour of the Gower Peninsula – the beautiful countryside and beaches just minutes from our campuses
• Cardiff City Centre – the Capital of Wales has amazing culture, shopping, and history
• Tour of Castles – Wales has more castles per person than almost anywhere else
• Tenby – a beautiful traditional welsh seaside town with loads to do including sea-life spotting boat trips
• Manor Wildlife Park – Wales’s walk-through zoo and safari, with animals as diverse as meerkats and tigers
• Bristol – home of amazing street art and our closest English neighbour, it’s an awesome city
• And many more

GO! Eat

Always a fun night, each month we pay a visit to an independent, Swansea based restaurant with a different cuisine to share a meal together.

GO! Eat gives students the chance to enjoy with new friends in a relaxed and fun environment while trying a new cuisine - often something they may not have tried before! We usually arrange a set meal for just £10 per person, so the night is also affordable. For details on future GO! Eat evenings check our ticket buying website Campus Life (swansea.su).

GO! Team Volunteers

Our packed GO! Social Programme would not be able to run without the assistance of our fantastic volunteers, the GO! Team

The GO! Team are a special group of student volunteers from all over the world who help us deliver our social programme throughout the year by giving up their time to run trips and activities. We work hard to ensure our GO! Team's volunteer hours are correctly logged and recognised with a special award, celebrating their achievement, which they can take forward to future employers.

Discover more about our GO! Team and how you can get involved here

We encourage all our students to involve themselves with a volunteer project if they are able. Swansea University's resident volunteer programme, DiscoverySVS, offer a wide range of volunteer projects to suit all tastes.
