Computing and Digital Technologies, BSc (Hons)

Swansea UniversityBay Campus, United Kingdom

Course overview

Why is Computing and Digital Technology designed the way it is? Who designs it and for whom? At Swansea, you’ll learn how to code and much more.

We’ll empower you to create and innovate to solve real-world problems. From day one, you’ll be building software, exploring new technologies, and developing the skills that employers are looking for. You’ll dive into high-demand areas like artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, data science, software engineering, and mobile app development.

We don’t list specific tools and languages here, because we constantly update our curriculum to match what industry needs when you graduate, not what it needed when you started. Our curriculum is shaped by industry input and delivered by experts who work at the cutting edge. From BAFTA-nominated game developers to world-leading cyber security experts and researchers collaborating with Airbus, Microsoft, HSBC, and Siemens – your lecturers excel in theory and make a difference in practice.

You’ll learn in state-of-the-art labs, collaborate with your peers, and showcase your work to employers at our annual Project Fair. Whether you're interested in building cloud-based systems, designing accessible apps, exploring Internet of Things (IoT) technologies or developing technologies that haven’t even been invented yet, you’ll graduate with a portfolio that demonstrates your skills - and gives you the confidence to use them.
