Finally, you will move on to software testing, design patterns and generic programming, and you will complete a practical project, involving building a software system.Teaching is informed by our world class research, and our team of leading academics includes Professor Matt Jones, Wolfson Research Merit fellow, whose passion is empowering rural digital communities in the developing world and in the UK; and Professor Harold Thimbleby, who designs dependable systems to accommodate human error, especially in healthcare. The Software Engineering degree is also offered as a four-year course, with a year in industry (G60A) or with a year abroad (G60B). “My studies at Swansea have made me well-prepared for my job at 4C Consulting London which is a leading Platinum Sales Force Partner that specialises in building cloud applications. I believe that I would not have landed this job if not for the experience I have gained from my time in Swansea. More specifically, the degree content related fairly closely with the concepts that I practise now.”- Genalyn Estrada, Developer, 4C Consulting, London
