    Both Bournemouth & Swansea University are considered part of the best institutions in the UK, thus it's not surprsing to know that both these institutions are selective to varying extents at granting admissions to students.

    The Bournemouth University acceptance rate stands at around 50%, while that of Swansea University is around 14%, suggesting Swansea is relatively much harder to secure admissions at as comapred to Bournemouth.  Though it must be noted that Swansea (#35) is rated higher than Bournemouth University (#59) as part of the latest Shiksha Popularity Rankings.
