About this course

Computer science is the discipline that underlies the digital world, encompassing the theory and practice of computation, software development, data structures, algorithms, and the systems through which computing power is directed at practical problems. It is a subject that trains you to think analytically about problems, to design and implement solutions in code, and to understand the mathematical and conceptual foundations that make software and hardware possible. The field is one of the most dynamic in higher education, with new areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and cloud computing continuing to grow in significance. At Swansea University, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, providing a structured entry point for students who are working towards degree-level computer science. The foundation year builds the mathematical, log
