Computing is about data, algorithms, programs and computers. It is a young academic discipline and is rich in applications, since computing systems are everywhere: in science and engineering, medicine, design and manufacture, commerce and public service, defence, transportation, arts and the media, and the home. The Specialist pathway in Software Technology has been running since 2003 and is for you if you are a Computer Science graduate or have gained some experience of computing and basic programming in your first degree. This programme will also be of interest to you If you have substantial relevant experience gained from working in a computer related environment for some time and are looking to update or broaden your knowledge.

All Computer Science courses will provide you the transferable skills and knowledge to help you take advantage of the excellent employment and career development prospects in an ever growing and changing computing and ICT industry. 90% of Swansea’s Computer Science graduates are in full-time employment or further study within six months of graduating (HESA June 2011).
