COMPUTER SCIENCE BAY CAMPUS

Computer Science impacts almost every aspect of modern life and we are at the heart of technological innovation that is redefining the way we live, learn and work. Our degrees will educate you ready for entry into a wide range of highly specialised careers involving software engineering, big data/data science, security analysis, mobile and emerging technologies.

A Computer Science degree from Swansea University can help you find your place in an ever-shifting technological landscape. Over the course of the degree you will learn to identify the correct solutions to problems and measure their efficiency. You will be taught in our new £32.5 million world-class Computational Foundry, which provides state-of-the-art teaching facilities and specialist laboratories including a vision and biometric lab, maker lab, techhealth lab, theory lab, cyber security lab and visualisation suite. It will also feature world-leading experimental set-ups, equipment, devices and prototypes to accelerate innovation, which you can learn about and work with. Many of our students who take the Year in Industry option gain invaluable work experience and develop both their computational skills and commercial awareness in a work environment.
