Swansea University’s MSc in Cyber Security addresses a wide range of pressing technology challenges, including the security and privacy of personal data, cyberterrorism, cybercrime, and mobile security. This pioneering program is the first in Wales to receive full certification from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), offering students an unparalleled level of expertise and recognition.

The course, part of Swansea’s renowned Computer Science department, adopts a holistic, interdisciplinary approach. It integrates diverse modules such as penetration testing, formal modelling, information security management, cryptography, and artificial intelligence, ensuring students are equipped with the latest skills and knowledge to tackle the evolving threats in cyber security.

Completing this MSc will boost careers in computer science. Graduates who have landed roles in giant names in the industry like Motorola Solutions, VSI-thinking, BMJ Publishing Group, and more. As part of this MSc, students get to work in the Computational Foundry, a 32.5 million pounds research facility that is the heart of this course. The Foundry is home to equipment including a Vision and Biometric Lab, a Maker Lab, a Theory Lab, a Cyber Security/Networking Lab, a User Lab, and a Visualisation Suite.

At the Department of Computer Science, ranked top 198 in the world, you get to learn from some of the best minds in the field. These passionate educators are working towards the United Nations Sustainable Goals focusing on crypto currencies, data security, cyberterrorism and Future interaction technologies.

This MSc is ideal for those seeking to advance into roles such as broadcast engineer, IT consultant, multimedia programmer or any other professional related to electronics, then this MSc is perfect for you. Home to globally renowned research in power electronics, telecommunications, nanotechnology, and biometrics, this is where theoretical and practical skills will be tested and enhanced using industry-standard equipment such as a scanning tunnelling microscope for atomic scale probing and the hp4124 parameter analyser for power devices.

Modules cover various subjects including power semiconductor devices, advanced power systems, optical fibre communications, and nanoscale structures and devices. However, there is an opportunity to do an additional year for an industry placement where students work on-site in a company or focus on a project with one or several industrial partners. This not only improves technical skills in a professional setting but also serves as a headstart to roles like network engineer, systems analyst, multimedia programmer, and more.

Ranked among the top 100 engineering programmes in the world, this MSc covers mechanical engineering tools, problem-solving techniques, formulation of experimental data, and many other real-world applications. These equip students with the ability to make informed judgements about different mechanical engineering problems.

There is 24-hour access to the university's library, advanced laboratories, and dedicated postgraduate work rooms for students to work in. The programme also takes learning beyond campus, via an industry placement or project with some of the leading mechanical engineering companies here. Since the programme has close ties with Tata Steel and Ford and has worked with AstraZeneca, British Aerospace, QinretiQ, GKN, Rolls-Royce, SKF, Freeport-McMoRan, ONESTEEL, and Barrick Gold Corporation, students have plenty of choices and assistance for their industry placement or project.
