“I chose to study Computer Science in Swansea University because
of its international reputation of high quality computer science research.
My MRes in Human Computer Interaction was particularly stimulating
and exposed me to great opportunities to collaborate with some world
leading researchers in the field of computer science, psychology and
health care. I am now in the second year of my PhD, researching ways
of designing user friendly and safe interactive medical devices. Apart
from my research, I enjoy the vibrant and affordable student life as well
as walking on the beach on my way into the university.

PhD Computer Science
For a full list of modules please contact the
Admissions Tutor.
approximately one-third of these degrees
is delivered through taught modules, with
the balance achieved through a large,
research-style project. The MRes project
requires a very substantial research
component that is contributing to the field
in an explicit way rather than merely
applying existing knowledge.
