The University of Wales, Swansea MSc in Computer Science is a conversion course for students with limited knowledge of the subject. It covers software concepts and software engineering principles, plus big data, web application development, and network security. You study compulsory modules including Computer System Concepts & Security, Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, Database Systems & Web Apps, Research Methods, Problem Solving & Software Efficiency, and Software Engineering Principles & Software Testing, supported by a substantial MSc Project.
Teaching combines practical and theory-based learning, delivered in person on campus. The programme includes a taught module block and a project module. The MSc Project runs from September to June and builds on the study you complete in earlier modules. Laboratory and teaching facilities are supported by the Computational Foundry on Bay Campus, including listed labs and a visualisation suite.
After completing the MSc, the programme lists recent graduate destinations in roles such as Software engineer, Software developer/engineer, Web developer & web support, Programmer, and Technical support consultant, with employers including Motorola Solutions, CGI Group, NS Technology, Irwin Mitchell, and OpenBet Technologies.
