Computer Science with Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence (Top Up)

The BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence (Top-Up) is an intensive one-year programme designed for students who have completed a relevant Level 5 qualification and wish to graduate with an honours degree.

Through a carefully-structured and broad curriculum that balances theory and practical application, you will build an advanced understanding of modern computer science, spanning secure and critical computing, software development and user-centred design.

You will explore the principles that underpin secure and dependable systems, the algorithms driving modern AI, and the techniques required to design, build and evaluate high-quality software across multiple platforms. This structured approach ensures that you develop the depth, breadth and intellectual independence expected of an honours-level computer scientist.

Graduates of the programme will hold a comprehensive, contemporary and professionally relevant Computer Science degree, ready to contribute to industry, or to progress confidently to advanced study. The emphasis on security and software quality provide a strong foundation for roles in sectors where reliability and trust are essential, including finance, healthcare, defence, and large-scale digital infrastructure.

Based in the £32.5million Computational Foundry at Swansea’s Bay campus, you will benefit from world-class facilities and the integration of cutting-edge computing and security content, as well as strong links with industry partners including the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT) and the National Cyber Security Centre.
