About Us

Welcome to the Swansea Women in Engineering Society, also known as Swansea WES!

Our society is open to all students, regardless of gender or background, who are passionate about or interested in engineering and promoting gender diversity in STEM.

Our Aims:

1.  Promote Women in Engineering: We aim to empower and highlight the contributions of women in engineering while encouraging more female students to pursue careers in engineering through events, workshops, and outreach activities.
2.  Foster a Supportive Community: Our goal is to create an inclusive and welcoming space where members can connect, support each other, and share experiences. We offer networking opportunities to help members succeed both academically and professionally.
3.  Encourage Professional Development: We are committed to helping our members build the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the engineering field. We aim to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world through collaborations with industry professionals, guest talks, and career workshops.

Our Events and Activities:

Our society hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including:

-  Industry Talks and Networking Events: We invite successful women in engineering and STEM fields to share their experiences and insights, providing inspiration and guidance to our members.
-  Workshops and Skill-Building Sessions: From this new academic year, we are planning to run skills workshops, from CV workshops to coding workshops, we aim to equip our members with practical skills that are valuable in the engineering industry.
-  Socials and Well-being Events: Building a community is one of our key focuses. We host social events such as game nights, and informal gatherings where members can relax, have fun, and connect with like-minded peers.
-  Outreach Programs: We engage with local schools to promote STEM education among young girls and raise awareness about the importance of diversity in engineering.
