Course overview
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 straight 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 evolve to match what industry needs when you graduate. The 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 at the Computer Science colloquium and 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 in a real world setting.
