Main Navigation
The School of Physical Sciences is a partnership between Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics. The three Departments have a common academic ethos, strong mathematical and computational interests, and are dedicated to curiosity-driven research at the highest international levels. What we do, we do very well. The Departments are research intensive and internationally focused. Each of our three subjects received the highest ratings of 4* and 3* in RAE 2008. The Departments enjoy a large degree of autonomy with individual research, teaching and financial strategies reflecting their distinct scientific cultures. The University's Mission has three themes: research, teaching, enriching the region. All can be found in the core business of the School. In a crowded, educated and developed world, our subjects are vitally important for the future role and security of the United Kingdom. Swansea computer scientists, mathematicians, and physicists have made distinguished contributions to their fields. The School is highly motivated to make a serious and substantial contribution to the knowledge and skills of the current and next generation. Partnerships The School is also involved in a wide range of activities supporting the work of societies and communities, in partnership with:
- British Association for the Advancement of Science
- Institute of Physics
- British Computer Society
- Institution of Engineers and Technologists
- Mathematical Association
- Institute of Welsh Affairs
