From the moment we wake up to the point we fall asleep, Computer Science impacts almost every aspect of modern life. The digital revolution has had a profound influence across the world and continues to redefine how we live, learn and work.

A Computer Science degree from Swansea University can help you find your place in an ever-shifting technological landscape.

This four-year degree prepares you for highly specialised and dynamic careers. These might include software engineering, big data and data science, security analysis or emerging technologies.

A range of transferable skills including team-working, communication, presentation and problem-solving will prove vital when it comes to securing employment.

The MSci builds on the BSc Computer Science, offering greater depth in the major topic areas. It will distinguish you as a committed and knowledgeable Computer Scientist.

If you don’t have the necessary entry requirements to enter on to the first year of a degree, you may be offered a place on a degree course with an integrated foundation year.
