Scholarships, Bursaries and Prizes Competition

Undergraduate

The Computer Science Department offers a range of scholarships, bursaries and prizes for first year students from the UK and the rest of the European Union.

• University Excellence Bursaries. Swansea University awards Excellence Bursaries to all Computer Science students who gain three grade A A-levels and make Swansea their first choice. Excellence Bursaries are worth £1500 for the first year, and £1500 for the second year.
• Other Undergraduate Scholarships. The Department is also offers a range of smaller scholarships. The precise details vary from year to year but there are usually about three with a value of about £400-£500

We automatically consider all applicants for these awards, so there is no need to make a separate application.

PhD Studentships

Four PhD studentships are available in Computer Science at Swansea University.

Overseas and EU candidates ARE eligible for two of the studentships!
