Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS)

Here at Swansea University, we are proud to be leading the way in supporting talented athletes in education in Wales. We were the first Welsh University to be accredited by the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) and have been awarded TASS Dual Career Accreditation, which recognises our commitment to supporting student athletes to excel in both academia and sport while studying at Swansea.
