The group follows an ambitious and curiosity-driven programme to develop new algorithms and methods, as well as advanced software techniques and tools, for computer graphics, visualisation and interactive systems. Logic and Computation Group One of the largest groups of theoretical computer scientists in the UK, with a big research programme involving many international collaborators. Over the past forty years, Swansea theoreticians have made fascinating and pioneering discoveries in the theories of data, algorithms, processes, programming languages, specification languages, reasoning and system verification. Future Interaction Technology Group The Future Interaction Technology Laboratory (FIT Lab) is the College of Science’s Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) group. Our goal is to put people at the heart of technological innovation – to create platforms, devices and services that are not just functional, but usable, efficient and enjoyable. Opened in 2006, the FIT Lab has since grown to become internationally recognised as a world-leading centre for HCI research. Security Group Security in the context of Computer Science encompasses technical aspects such as the protection of our digital life from a variety of attacks through to guarantees towards social aspects such as privacy and use of policies. Computer scientists at Swansea have made and are making contributions to the field – eg, in the digital economy, on cryptocurrencies, on security and privacy of personal data, on cyber-terrorism and cyber-crime, and on mobile security, to name but a few.

Modules typically include: • Critical Systems
COMPUTING AND FUTURE INTERACTION TECHNOLOGIES MRes FT PT The MRes is taught by the Future Interaction Technology (FIT) Lab within Computer Science. The FIT Lab’s mission is to explore and apply Advanced Computer Science to make interaction technologies dependable, enjoyable and effective. Furthermore, we aim to work on grand challenges, like improving safety in health care, or developing technology to reach millions of people and help us live more effective and sustainable lives. Modules typically include: • Hardware and Devices • Human-Centred Visual Analytics • Human Computer Interaction • Interactive System Design Culminating in a final research project. LOGIC AND COMPUTATION MRes FT PT On the MRes in Logic and Computation you will learn about advanced techniques in logic and their applications. You will receive an elite education of direct relevance to research and development problems in contemporary information and communication technology (ICT). RESEARCH COURSES Entry Requirements Typically a 2:1 honours degree or a master's degree with merit in computer science or related subject. English Language Requirement IELTS 6.5 (minimum of 6.0 in each component) or Swansea University recognised equivalent.
• Logic in Computer Science • M odelling and Verification Techniques Culminating in a final research project. VISUAL COMPUTING MRes FT PT An MRes is ideal preparation for following a career of research or specialism within the area of study. In particular the MRes in Visual Computing seeks to prepare you for further research in the areas of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Medical Imaging, and Scientific Visualisation. Modules typically include: • Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition • Data Analytics • Data Visualisation • Graphics Processor Programming • Hardware and Devices Culminating in a final research project.
