We recognise that students may not yet have identified an area of interest and instead wish to study a variety of subjects before focusing on a preferred theme. The Applied Computing programme on our Swansea campus has been developed to satisfy this need - with the programme offering an extensive selection of optional subjects underpinned by a foundation of core modules, experienced tutors will guide you in selecting modules related to your chosen specialism.

We also offer entry to all of our Swansea-based degree programmes via our Foundation Year as part of our Widening Access commitment. This is an entry route for students seeking a career change or for those needing to update their skills in order to meet the entry requirements.

Career Opportuniites

Our graduates have excellent employment prospects in the computing, teaching, lecturing and ICT industry, as well as in other areas of the economy. Recent statistics show that the vast majority are following their chosen career paths within six months of graduating.

Graduates would seek positions in application development, business systems analysis, database development and administration, information systems consultancy and management, etc.
