The IT sector offers careers across a wide range of computing disciplines, including software engineering, data management, AI, networking, cyber security, user experience and web technologies. Studying this programme, you will develop a broad range of technical skills related to applied computing. The course includes opportunities to study technologies used across the computing sector. A significant emphasis is placed on data management and the implementation of applications for manipulating information, including database systems and web applications. Additionally, as a graduate of this programme, you will have learned skills to equip you to lead teams and manage projects. 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.
