2-Semester Pathway - Pre-Master's in Computer Science - Continue to Master of Science - Advanced Software Technology

Advanced software technology is critical to the functioning of modern society. Computing systems can be found in science and engineering, medicine design and manufacturing, commerce and public service. Software technology dictates how these systems operate and how they are used. The MSc Advanced Software Technology is suitable if students are a Computer Science or Software Engineering graduate or if they have relevant experience from a first degree. It may also be suitable if students have substantial experience of working in a related environment and wish to develop their knowledge.

Swansea's brand new £32.5m Computational Foundry lies at the heart of this course. Sophisticated teaching and research equipment include a Vision and Biometric Lab, a Maker Lab, a Theory Lab, a Cyber Security/Networking Lab, a User Lab and a Visualisation Suite. Students will choose modules from a diverse range of computer science subjects. These include artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and operation systems, big data, and network security. Broad learning in the first part of the course is followed by a substantial project module in the second part. This puts students in a strong position for seeking employment or undertaking further study.

Completing this MSc will considerably enhance students' software technology career prospects. Swansea's graduates often progress to rewarding employment with a respected employer. Below are a number of their recent destinations:
