Computer Science plays a key role in virtually every aspect of modern life, and this degree will give you the knowledge, experience and expertise for a wide range of careers in this exciting and rapidly developing field. On this degree you will learn how to identify solutions to problems and measure their efficiency, analyse and assess systems and design new ones. You will be able to learn about computer graphics, modelling computer systems, software engineering, writing mobile apps, data visualisation and some of the more advanced theoretical aspects of Computer Science. The foundation year covers the key scientific, mathematical and engineering concepts to prepare you for the BSc in Computer Science, as well as giving you experience of other science subjects. You will be able to develop your programming skills (in C and Java), and tackle advanced tasks, both individually and in groups, helping you to gain and develop valuable transferable skills, including team working, communication, presentation and problem-solving. **Why Swansea?** - 5th for satisfaction with your course by the Guardian University Guide 2021. - UK TOP 12 for Graduate Prospects by the Complete University Guide 2022. - We are ranked Top 20 in the UK for Research Excellence [Research Excellence Framework 2014-2021]. - World-ranked [QS World University Rankings]. - We're 5th in the UK for Overall Satisfaction (NSS 2021) **Computer Science Facilities** You will be taught in our new £32.5m Computational Foundry, a world class centre with state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, as well as networking and meeting spaces, which bring students, academics and industry together.

In Year 0, the Foundation year, you will study a range of content to prepare you for the BSc. Your first semester will cover programming, the mathematics relevant to Computer Science, key skills and topics from environmental science and physics. In your second semester, you will study more advanced concepts in Computer Science, and you will learn how to analyse and present data, as well as studying topics from bioscience and geography. In Year 1 you will learn how to program (in Java), study how computers work, be introduced to software engineering, and learn about the fundamental mathematics and theory of Computer Science. Year 1 is common for our Single Honours degree schemes. In Year 2 you will learn about operating systems and networking, computer graphics, databases, compilers, advanced and specialised programming, specification, and some of the more advanced theoretical aspects of Computer Science. You will develop your programming skills (in C and Java) and have the opportunity to attempt advanced tasks. In Year 3 you will undertake a large project, accounting for 25% of the credit for the year, and study a selection of our advanced option modules. These vary, but currently include graphics, advanced programming, human-computer interaction, the internet, artificial intelligence, concurrent systems, hardware and theory.
