The hospital adjoins the Singleton Park Campus of Swansea University where there is a nursing school and a school of medicine. The Maggie's Cancer Care Centre for South West Wales, which was designed by the Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, is located in the grounds of Singleton Hospital. The hospital benefits from its own Hospital Radio Station, Radio City 1386AM, which has been part of the hospital.
