At Swansea we have created a stimulating and supportive environment. Through learning, our students are encouraged to grow and mature in a self-contained and compact campus with a friendly community atmosphere. Swansea University is well respected internationally and is research-led, which means that the latest thinking, up to date knowledge and advances feed into teaching, provide exciting challenges in postgraduate study, enable staff to continue to explore their specialist subjects and, through links with business and industry, help to develop the Welsh economy. Ninety two per cent of our academic staff is active in research and the quality of work is reflected in the latest Research Assessment Exercise with nearly a third of areas graded the top 5 or 5*. Research in the engineering disciplines is of the highest standard as it is across the physical sciences and languages.

It is a young subject 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. Information processing technology allows many people to use computing systems to create, store and communicate written, aural and visual information.Today, Computer Science is the discipline that underlies and leads the long tradition of mechanisation in our world. The influence and achievements of Computer Science are destined to grow for decades. An education in Computer Science will provide you with the competence to participate in a long revolution. The knowledge will enable you to understand and foresee the great changes and challenges that Computer Science presents to the world, now and in the future.
