Postgraduate Taught Degrees.
  Postgraduate taught degrees are academically more demanding than undergraduate programmes. They require a higher level of self-directed learning and are awarded to students who demonstrate advanced understanding of a particular subject. Master's degrees are delivered through a combination of taught modules and assessed coursework, and there is an expectation that students will complete an in-depth research project or dissertation.
  Taught master's degrees are generally modular in structure, meaning that students follow a series of modules worth a total of 180 credits. 120 credits are gained from taught modules, and 60 credits from the dissertation.
  Taught master's programmes often include research and methodology skills courses and specific departmental training courses, which are essential for students at master's level and those wishing to go onto higher degrees. Additional specialised training courses are also available during the academic year.
  To qualify for a Postgraduate Diploma, students must pursue 120 credits, or 60 credits for a Postgraduate Certificate. (Specific regulations apply - please note that not all programmes offer these exit qualifications.)
Choosing a Programme.
  The University offers a range of postgraduate taught degrees, including the MA, MSc, and LLM. You can pursue a postgraduate course in the same subject as your undergraduate degree or, in many cases, outside it.
[Photograph of a person holding a marker pen and standing in front of a class, with a whiteboard nearby.]

[page 17]

Conversion Courses.
  If you want to change the direction of your studies or career path, you have the option as a postgraduate student to move away from the area you studied at undergraduate level by studying a conversion course. These courses allow graduates of any subject area to study a postgraduate master's course without any previous relevant qualifications.
  We have a diverse selection of conversion courses available in finance, science, engineering, health science, medicine, law, business management and arts and humanities.
Can I Study Part-Time?
  Master's, Postgraduate Diplomas and Postgraduate Certificates can normally be studied on a full-time or part-time basis in a wide variety of subject areas. You are encouraged to contact the academic department in question before applying. Look out for the PT symbol on the course pages.
Assessment Through the Medium of Welsh.
  You may present research work in the Welsh language if your supervisors are able to oversee work through the medium of Welsh.

  Yes, if you want to:
•	Enhance your career prospects.
•	Acquire new and specialised skills.
•	Prepare for a research degree.
•	Develop your subject knowledge of your first degree subject.
•	Study an entirely new subject.

Postgraduate Research Degrees.
  91% of our research environment produces world-leading or internationally excellent research (Research Excellence Framework REF 2021).
  Research degrees are academically rigorous programmes that require in-depth study of a topic for a sustained period of time. The award of a doctorate or other research degree recognises the commitment of successful candidates, the high-level skills they have gained, and their ability to present original research that furthers understanding of the subject matter.
  As a research student, you will normally undertake some training in research methods before embarking on your programme of research. You will have an academic supervisor who will advise and support the direction of your research for the duration of the degree, and a co-supervisor will provide additional support as required.
[Four photographs showing students in different settings: a workshop, a laboratory, in a classroom, in informal conversation in the Singleton Abbey gardens.]

[page 19]

Choosing a Research Topic.
  Research degrees, especially at MPhil and PhD level, are very different from undergraduate and taught master's programmes as there is no defined list of courses to choose from. MPhil and PhD degrees can be pursued on any academic topic, as long as the faculty you are applying to has the expertise to guide and supervise your study.
  Even if you have a more developed research proposal in mind, we recommend that you approach the relevant Admissions Tutor for advice.
  Applicants are partnered with potential supervisors at an early stage. This is vital to ensure:
•	That you receive the advice and guidance you need to decide whether or not a research degree at Swansea University is right for you.
•	That the supervisor is enthused and motivated by the topic.
•	That you move smoothly into an appropriate research group (where applicable).
•	That you complete and write up your research within the required timeframe.

Have Any Questions?
  The Postgraduate Admissions Office is happy to advise you on whether your qualifications are suitable for entry to the course you would like to study. For further information please email:
pgradmissions@swansea.ac.uk
Which Research Degree?
  The University offers a number of research degrees, including:
PhD:
  PhD students undertake supervised research over three to four years full-time or six to seven years part-time. Research is then presented in the form of a thesis of not more than 100,000 words. The thesis must demonstrate the student's capacity to pursue original research and should represent a distinct and significant contribution to the subject. The first year of registration for a PhD is a period of official probation, requiring departmental assessment before the candidate is allowed to proceed.
MPhil:
  May be completed in two to three years' full-time study (four to five years part-time). Candidates are required to submit a thesis of up to 60,000 words and assessment is in the form of an oral examination (viva). Subject to academic requirement, there may be opportunities for students to upgrade from MPhil to PhD during the course of their studies.
MA/MSc by Research:
  Typically one year full-time, two to three years part-time. This is an individual research project written up into a thesis of 30,000 words.
MRes:
  The aim of the MRes (Master of Research) is to provide relevant training to acquire the knowledge, techniques and understanding needed for a professional career, or for progression to higher academic studies, normally a PhD. The MRes is achieved through a combination of taught modules (worth 60 credits) and a research thesis which presents the outcome of a significant research project (worth 120 credits).
DBA:
  The Professional Doctorate in Management (DBA) typically is a four year, part-time programme, consisting of six modules, plus a thesis. Each module is structured around a three-day intensive teaching block, plus a variety of online support from the teaching teams and doctoral supervisors. (For course information - see page 107).
EdD:
  The Professional Doctorate in Education (EdD) offers students the opportunity to approach issues in education in a professional and critical manner at doctoral level. (For course information - see page 91).
EngD:
  The Engineering Doctorate provides graduates with the skills and experience to become industry and academic leaders and is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The four year doctorate research programme consists of an industry led research project that is complimented with taught technical, research and professional skills-based modules that are assessed by a mixture of coursework assignments and examinations. 'Research Engineers' conduct their research in collaboration with an industrial partner and Swansea University, and the project is written up into a thesis of not more than 100,000 words and assessed via an oral (viva voce) examination.

[page 21]

MD:
  In addition to the PhD, the Medical School offers the postgraduate degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) through supervised research within individual research groups.
DProf:
  Typically four years full-time, six years part-time, a Professional Doctorate is a research degree structured around a particular area of professional practice. You will follow a programme of directed study, including periods of approved professional/industrial practice and training, together with a programme of research. Assessment includes a thesis of 80,000 or more words.
  The degree ensures that the candidate's profession and workplace interconnect throughout the whole programme, so that research conducted is relevant to their own practice and workplace.
Can I Study Part-Time?
  Part-time study is possible for UK and international students* [asterisk], but you are encouraged to contact the academic department in question before applying.

•	Having already studied with us, you’ll know all the best places to live, study, eat or relax!
•	You’ll still be able to access the extensive range of services offered by departments such as the Swansea Employability Academy, Centre for Academic Success and MyUniHub.
•	You may already know several of your postgraduate coursemates, and you may even be able to continue living with former flatmates.
•	Swansea’s range of conversion courses allow you to study for your postgraduate degree in a completely new subject area.
•	If you choose to study in the same subject area, you can continue to build on your working relationship with academic lecturers and mentors, further developing your specialist knowledge.
•	As a current Swansea student, you’ll complete a much shorter application form for your chosen master’s* [asterisk] course via Fast-track.
* [asterisk] Course restrictions apply.
  Some of our current students share their experiences of transitioning from undergraduate to postgraduate study:
Becky Greenway, MA International Journalism student.
[Photograph of Becky Greenway.]
  “I chose to complete my master’s degree at Swansea University because of the wonderful experience I had studying my undergrad degree here. Also, an important factor to me when deciding where to do my postgraduate course was employability, and Swansea is known for its dedication to student employability. The biggest difference between my undergraduate and postgraduate experiences would be the level of difficulty at the higher level. However, at Swansea there is always help available to you from your lecturers, supervisors, library staff, and others who help you feel supported throughout your studies.
  My advice for undergraduates currently studying at Swansea, who are thinking about staying on for their postgraduate, would be to attend a postgraduate open day to find out more about courses and opportunities available to Swansea postgraduate students”.

Hywel Evans, PhD Physics graduate.
[Photograph of Hywel Evans in a PhD graduation cap and gown.]
  “I finished my MPhys Physics integrated master’s degree and decided to stay in Swansea for a PhD working in an antimatter laboratory. I was successful in obtaining a bursary which funded my studies and worked as a Postgraduate Demonstrator for teaching experience, which also brought in additional funds. Being a postgraduate researcher is similar to being in employment and required more time commitment than my undergraduate studies and it’s good preparation for full-time employment.
  I have learnt a lot of practical skills, alongside presenting to specialists at conferences around the world (Belfast, Dundee, Geneva and Belgrade). This has improved my abilities and helped me to be successful at job interviews for when I’m finished.
  Swansea University had all the tools I needed to succeed academically and is so close to great parks and beaches - I didn’t want to study anywhere else”.
Hope Henry, Graduate Entry Medicine student.
[Photograph of Hope Henry.]
  “Following my undergraduate degree at Swansea in Applied Medical Sciences, staying to study Graduate Entry Medicine seemed like my natural next step.
  During my undergrad, Swansea had been incredible, with such a friendly community of staff and students and with access to a plethora of support services and social opportunities, including societies and volunteering.
  Swansea University also has such stunning surroundings with gorgeous beaches on our doorstep that really are second to none, especially with the close proximity to the Mumbles, Three Cliffs, Langland, Caswell and Bracelet Bay. Swansea sports a great student life, and encourages balancing academia with exploring its idyllic settings and excellent nightlife. This, coupled with the Medical School’s incredible reputation, had me sold for another four years.
  Staying at Swansea was a no brainer. I love it here and it feels like home so why would I want to go anywhere else?”

  “As a master’s student at Swansea University, I was keen on not only gaining academic experience, but also professional experience. I was able to get a job within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences as well as in other formal work sectors. Since graduating, the proudest moment for me has been founding the ‘Stand To End Rape Initiative’, experiencing the joy in the faces of the survivors we have worked with. There is an innate sense of accomplishment when the organisation removes a victim from an abusive situation. It feels great to have been honoured as a Commonwealth Young Person of the Year 2019 and an Obama Foundation Leader in Africa.”

  Public Health Campaigner.
www.swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/lanvell-blake
  “Public health and health promotion issues are never black and white. Interventions are rooted in a lot of social, political and economical factors. I appreciated that the programme allowed us to see public health through the lens of different countries. Individual students had the opportunity to speak about public health issues in their country and how those issues were being tackled. It also provided a space for reflection on one’s own country and for both comparison and contrast to be made.”

Top 3 favourite things about Swansea:
•	Teachers’ willingness to be surrounded by students and answer tons of questions after each class.
•	Challenging short coursework that must have been completed within 24 hours.
•	Rhossili Bay.
How did your degree prepare you for your career?
  It gave me core knowledge about English shipping law, ability to work under pressure and developed my legal writing skills.
What advice would you give to those who want to pursue your career?
  It was the right decision to come to the UK to study international shipping law, as it was heavily based on English shipping law. Swansea University is a very good place to learn about this field.
  If you want to be a hard-core shipping lawyer in the future, you are advised to learn more about ships, their structure, history, and technical knowledge. It would be great if you found some captain friends to tell you about their sea adventures too!

  Simon and Matthew undertook their masters in Mechanical Engineering and through their research project, they discovered that they could make an impact in the field.
   Air View Engineering is a direct air capture start-up aiming to provide smaller, more cost effective carbon capture solutions with the sole goal of greatly increasing their use throughout the world and tackling the climate crisis.
  Their goal is to make a meaningful impact to the levels of harmful gases present within the atmosphere, and their Co2 capture technology is the product of three-years worth of cutting edge innovation and development. Their technology aims to be scalable, modular and rapidly deployable to aid in the expansion of their product.
  Simon and Matthew have received consistent support from the Enterprise Team and they attribute the structured delivery and easy access to resources throughout their Mechanical Engineering course as a key factor in the development of their business.
  They have successfully been awarded over half a million pounds in grants, from funders including Innovate UK, which has allowed them to begin the development of their first pilot facility.
  They note that resilience in the first stages of your business is key to its success but, if you have a good idea, then nothing should stop you from achieving your goals.
  Air View Engineering demonstrate what can be achieved by applying knowledge and skills from your postgraduate degree and applying this to real-world problems.

Student Experiences.
Ulrike Leonhard.
[Photograph of Ulrike Leonhard.]
  As part of the Extended MA in Translation and Interpreting, Ulrike spent a semester at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and a semester at Université Catholique de Louvain, both located in Belgium.
  “My year abroad in Belgium was a great experience. I made new friends from all over the world and was able to travel throughout Belgium. The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France are all within close distance so there are no limits when it comes to exploring! My student experience at both universities could not have been better.”
Natalie Pittman.

  Natalie Pittman studied an Extended Master's in International Relations and spent a semester abroad in The Bush School at Texas A&M University. 
  “What a great opportunity it was to take the Extended Master's which has enabled me to study abroad at the Bush School Texas A&M. It was an incredible experience as the Bush School boasts one of the best International Relations courses in American public schools. Not only has this opportunity furthered my career opportunities but it has allowed me to study my course from a different perspective. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my course and I am so glad I chose to further my study at Swansea University.”

  “I have grown so much as a person throughout my undergrad at Swansea and now my postgrad as well and I feel so much more confident in myself. I have come to realise just how much I love learning compared to when I was at school because I have chosen to study something that is so much more enjoyable than GCSE or A level where I felt like I wasn't able to learn what I wanted.
  I have been involved with societies for the past 4 years and they have made my time at uni better than I could ever have dreamed. There is such a range on offer and it's incredibly easy to start your own if there isn't something that takes your fancy. From being on a committee I have improved my leadership and organisational skills and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
  The academic feedback is very good, work is marked promptly and there is usually a lot of very useful comments and suggestions that are helpful for the future. I have used the University Advice Centre a couple of times and they have been incredible. I was able to see someone within a couple of days and I got some really useful advice and support.”

  “I felt it was imperative that I gain a more thorough education to help me prepare for a career in accounting. My course provided me with the necessary knowledge to enhance and develop my capabilities.
  The course content is structured around professional accountancy exams and with the preparation provided through the relevant modules, I have already passed three external ACCA exams.

Great Minds – Professor Amy Brown.
  “Our research seeks to inform policy and we work closely with organisations such as the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative, Public health organisations and infant feeding charities.”
[Photograph of Professor Amy Brown.]
  The UK has some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world. This damages our population's health, our economy, and most importantly can leave women devastated; up to 90% of mothers who stop breastfeeding in the first six weeks are not ready to do so. Some women experience physiological issues preventing them from breastfeeding, while others encounter a lack of support leading to increased complications and a need to stop before they are ready.
  Many strategies to support breastfeeding focus on providing practical support for women at an individual level. Whilst this is important, Professor Amy Brown’s research has explored wider psycho-social-cultural influences that damage breastfeeding, particularly poor societal level understanding of how breastfeeding works and normal baby behaviour. Her work highlighted that rather than focussing on individual women, change was needed at the societal level to create an environment that understood and supported breastfeeding.
  To tackle this, Amy set up the ‘Breastfeeding Uncovered’ campaign turning her research findings into formats that were accessible to parents, health professionals, and policymakers. Promoting her research through news, social media, blogging, books, animations, podcasts, and presentations has meant that her work would reach the people who mattered.
  Recognised by the ESRC as having ‘outstanding impact’ Amy’s work has reached over 25 million people via news and social media around the world. She continues to reach over 1 million people per month across her social media channels. Her work is used in public health campaigns and training by health boards, breastfeeding organisations, and the World Health Organisation. Amy has been invited to present her research over 200 times to governments, committees and infant feeding organisations in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Canada and the USA.
  Amy’s research now underpins policy and has led to the development of new breastfeeding strategies around the world. Her work is recognised by Public Health England as having ‘supported more parents to breastfeed and to breastfeed for longer’, something that is echoed by breastfeeding charities, health professionals working with parents and most importantly parents themselves. As one parent noted ‘this book has saved me from giving up breastfeeding my 3-week-old’ which crystalises the ethos of the campaign: to create a better future for new families.

Student Profile – Chloe Robinson.
  Msc Environmental Biology, PhD Biological Sciences.
  “The Postgraduate Seminar Series allowed me to develop my skills and get over my worries in a safe, non-judgemental space.”
[Photograph of Chloe Robinson outdoors, holding a lobster.]
  “What ultimately helped me get where I am today were the opportunities provided by Swansea University to present to fellow students and lecturers at seminars, such as the Postgraduate Seminar Series which allowed me to develop my skills and get over my worries in a safe, non-judgemental space.
  If someone had told me that I would be assigned ‘Schools Outreach Representative’ whilst at university I would never have believed them.
  Throughout my undergraduate degree at Swansea University I was terrified at presenting and talking in front of people and avoided it as much as I could. However, I received some fantastic training from lecturers within the Biosciences Department at the end of my BSc degree and during my MSc which began to really help me tackle my fears and start to build my confidence.”

The facilities within both the Singleton and the Bay campus have been wonderful for supporting my research, and I am excited for the work I will be able to continue throughout the rest of my PhD.
  With Chemistry being a relatively young Department at Swansea, it has been exciting to feel part of a community of researchers who are all striving to make a difference and add to their respective fields. As a newly starting PhD student, Swansea’s strong basis in collaborative research really shone through, and I have felt very supported in being taught on new facilities or research disciplines.
  This collaborative spirit is not only within the department but across the faculties, with my own research spreading to the Sêr SAM groups in Physics and SPECIFIC within the department of Engineering - all who have been incredibly welcoming and have made my time at Swansea so enjoyable and rewarding.
  I feel it is this entire research environment that has helped me throughout my PhD. With their support, I recently was selected as a finalist in the STEM for Britain 2022 Awards. I had the opportunity to present my research at Parliament to politicians and explain the impact of the work which we carry out at Swansea University.

Student Profile – Aidan Fyans.
  MSc Computer Science.
  R&D Engineer, Vortex IoT.
  “These skills helped me to secure a job in developing embedded systems and working around the growing world of IoT systems.”
[Photograph of Aidan Fyans.]
  “I currently work for Vortex IoT as an R&D Engineer where we design and develop innovative products and IoT systems for harsh environments. Our current work is in developing air quality monitoring systems and railway intrusion and obstruction detection systems. These systems are designed and built in-house from the ground up by the R&D and Software team. As well as hardware, we design web interfaces and data management and analysis systems to gain further insight into what our sensor networks are detecting. This is done through our machine learning and AI systems which are all developed in-house.
  During my master’s I focused on ‘Hardware and Devices’ and ‘Embedded Systems’ modules which gave me an opportunity to work at the boundary of where the physical meets the digital. This led me to conduct my research for my dissertation in mesh networking. These skills helped me to secure a job in developing embedded systems and working around the growing world of IoT systems.
  What I enjoyed about the MSc course and study environment at Swansea University was the free thinking environment where we were encouraged by the lecturers to face new problems and approach them from any angle.
  The Computer Science Department is full of very knowledgeable people with contacts and interests in many areas. As a student of the department you have access to this vast pool of knowledge. I would encourage students to take advantage of this. Talk to your peers and lecturers about more than computer science, and use the time you have to explore interests that make you a more rounded individual. Your degree/qualifications will get you an interview, but your surrounding knowledge and interests will secure you the job.”

Great Minds – Professor Siwan Davies.
  “My work on microscopic ash particles is exciting but also challenging and I love it. It’s also a thrill to lead and inspire a team of researchers towards our scientific goals.”
[Photograph of Professor Siwan Davies in outdoor clothing.]
  Professor Siwan Davies is a Professor in Geography and uses volcanic ash to help improve our understanding of when our climate changed abruptly in the past. She is an inspiring scientist and recipient of the Philip Leverhulme Prize (2011) and Lyell Fund (2013). She is a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.
  Originally from Newport, Pembrokeshire, after graduating from the University of Oxford in Geography, Siwan completed a master's and PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London in 2002. Following post-doctoral appointments at Stockholm University and the University of Copenhagen, she joined Swansea University as a Lecturer in 2004 and quickly climbed the academic career ladder to be awarded a Personal Chair in 2012.
  Siwan's research has secured funding from NERC, The Leverhulme Trust and the European Research Council (ERC) and she now leads a team of post-doctoral researchers and PhD students.
  The ERC-funded research project, TRACE, aims to use volcanic ash layers present in the Greenland ice-cores and North Atlantic marine records to assess whether the atmosphere or the oceans drove Northern hemisphere climate change in the past. Professor Davies said:
  “This is a big question in climate science and my work on microscopic ash particles can provide the answers. The work is exciting but also challenging and I love it. It’s also a thrill to lead and inspire a team of researchers towards our scientific goals.”
  Siwan also takes her work to the public and is the presenter of a hugely successful TV documentary series on climate change “Her yr Hinsawdd” for S4C. Siwan has travelled all over the world to see the impact of climate change on people today and continues her journey in the second series.
  Siwan contributes to Welsh-medium teaching at Swansea and across Wales and is actively engaged with the work of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

  “There’s something special about Swansea, which my friends studying at other institutions were envious of. Deciding to complete a master’s in a subject which was totally different to my undergraduate degree was a welcome challenge and I loved every minute of it. The University has a great reputation for postgraduate study and I really experienced it at its best. The lecturers were incredible and went above and beyond to support me in their free time; with their support I feel as though my confidence has grown ten-fold.
  The modules for my master's really excited me too - they all lent themselves well to a career in HR on a practical level and I could clearly see how each module would apply itself to the world of work.

One lecturer in particular sparked an idea of returning to Swansea to complete my master's. I stayed in touch with the University throughout the application process and the team were so helpful.
  Studying a postgraduate course means that you can build even stronger relationships with lecturers which is great. I loved the modules I could select from, which included digital marketing and marketing in society.
  I’ve met so many students from across the world and I now have friends who are from Mongolia and China. Settling in wasn’t difficult; Swansea is a safe city with a friendly community and it is great being so close to a beautiful beach.”

Great Minds - Professor Shareen Doak.
DNA Damage and the Safety of Nanomaterials.
  “Nanotechnology promises significant societal and economic benefits. Cutting-edge science is therefore pivotal to ensure the translation of nanotechnology into safe applications, which in turn will support sustainable development opportunities and industrial growth.”
[Photograph of Professor Shareen Doak.]
  How do we assess the safety of nanomaterials? DNA damage in particular is a concern as it can lead to cancer development and so, assessing the DNA damaging capacity of a substance we are exposed to is a vital aspect of safety assessment. Although regulatory safety tests for chemicals are well defined, they are not always appropriate for nanomaterials. This has been a substantial barrier to nanotechnology innovation worldwide.
  Shareen Doak is professor of Genotoxicology and Cancer and a leading figure in the field of nanotoxicology globally. She is a UK and EUROTOX Registered Toxicologist, an invited Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (FRSB) and an elected Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales (FLSW).
  Her research focuses on the genotoxic profiles of engineered nanomaterials, the mechanisms underlying their DNA damaging potential and subsequent consequences upon human health. She is co-lead of the In Vitro Toxicology Group whose research has been pivotal in developing standardised safety tests to facilitate nanomaterial risk assessment for human health.
  Professor Doak’s work looks at how we can create regulatory tests and tools for nanotechnology as they proliferate in our societies. The tests she and her team have been developing are creating better and more reliable ways of testing products with the potential to make animal testing redundant.
  “This research is underpinned by international inter-disciplinary collaboration, to provide innovative solutions supporting the sustainable development of nanotechnology”.
  As a result of the dedicated research conducted by Professor Doak and her team, their improved safety testing tools are now being utilised in international nano-regulatory frameworks. Various international policy makers and regulators have already adapted DNA damage testing to make it appropriate for evaluating nanomaterials. These include the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Student Profile – Valeria Italia.
PhD Physics - Joint Degree with Université Grenoble Alpes.
  Applied Physics and Materials Research Group.
  “The Department of Physics provides a dynamic, stimulating and multicultural working environment and gives students the opportunity to develop new skills and leadership abilities.”
[Photograph of Valeria Italia.]
  I am a PhD student in the Department of Physics and the student representative in the Swansea-Grenoble Co-tutelle programme. I am undertaking a joint degree with Université Grenoble Alpes which involves spending 18 months in Swansea and 18 months in Grenoble.
  The focus of my research is to understand a novel biocompatible protein-based material, called Ubx, which can be used in implanted devices for tissue regeneration. In other words, this material can be used to regenerate damaged tissues, such as the heart following a heart attack.
  Amazingly, some years ago, my scientific mentor discovered this protein by accident: material formed when a column wasn’t cleaned up until the next day. Sometimes accidents can bring significant discoveries.
  Actually, there are only two laboratories in the world that can produce the proteins involved in this material formation efficiently and in large quantities, and one of these laboratories is in the Department of Physics at Swansea University.
  I am really proud and excited to be part of this team, to contribute to new discoveries and to develop the potential of this interesting material. The Department of Physics provides a dynamic, stimulating and multicultural working environment and gives students the opportunity to develop new skills and leadership abilities and I am really happy that I chose to come here for my PhD.

Great Minds – Dr Krijn Peters.
“I strongly believe that university education should be based as much as possible on real-life research.”
[Photograph of Dr Krijn Peters.]
  Krijn Peters is a rural development sociologist who has specialised in armed conflict and post-war reconstruction in non-Western countries. Educated at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, he learned to appreciate the importance of rigorous fieldwork.
  As an undergraduate, he spent 6 months in war-torn Sierra Leone to interview recently demobilised child soldiers and then went to Cambodia to study the reintegration process of Khmer Rouge fighters. Following his graduation, he worked for Save the Children evaluating their demobilisation and reintegration programmes for ex-child soldiers in Liberia. For his PhD he returned to Sierra Leone to study the infamous RUF rebel movement, resulting in the monograph ‘War and the Crisis of Youth in Sierra Leone’ (2012, Cambridge University Press). His current research - funded by ESRC/DFID - looks into the role of rural road construction and its impact on poverty alleviation in post-war rural Liberia. Many of the ex-combatants Krijn interviewed have become part of West Africa’s booming motorbike taxi sector, but aid donors and governments remain reluctant - without hard data - to invest in what has become the most common means of rural (and urban) motorised transport. Krijn strongly believes that university education should be based as much as possible on real-life research.
  The above mentioned study and a number of other research projects on youth and technology, in which Krijn is involved, form the bedrock of a new and exciting MSc degree at Swansea University, in collaboration with the Prince’s Foundation, entitled ‘Sustainable Engineering for International Development’.

Student Profile – Tennessee Randall.
PhD Psychology.
  “Fast forward two years and I have become a world title holding kickboxer, completed my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Mental Health and received an offer to study a PhD at Swansea University.”
[Photograph of Tennessee Randall holding a trophy.]
  When I graduated with my undergraduate degree, I had no idea what the future held for me. I had been supported throughout my studies by the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS), which allowed me to carve a dual career at Swansea University, achieving a BSc in Psychology while also continuing my training in kickboxing.
  Fast forward two years and I have become a world title holding kickboxer, completed my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Mental Health and received an offer to study a PhD at Swansea University under a research scholarship with the ESRC.
  The ESRC only awarded two psychology students in Wales, and I was lucky enough to be one of them. I am so excited to continue my next educational chapter at Swansea, where I am on the path to becoming Dr Randall.

Great Minds - Professor Ann John.
Shaping mental health and wellbeing.
  “Being an academic allows for the freedom of independent scientific advice and the development of deep knowledge of an area. It’s a gift of a career.”
[Photograph of Professor Ann John.]
  Suicide is a leading cause of premature death with over 800,000 people dying by suicide globally each year. There is rarely a single reason why someone takes their own life. It is best understood through each individuals’ life circumstances, in a complex interplay of risk factors and adverse experiences. Nevertheless, suicide is potentially preventable using a public health approach across sectors such as schools and health, professionals and the public.
  Professor Ann John is a clinical epidemiologist with a background in public health and general practice. Her research focuses on suicide and self-harm prevention and the risks, protective factors and life course outcomes of children and young adults’ mental health. She leads the MQ funded Adolescent Mental Health Data Platform and the Suicide Information Database-Cymru. She is a Principal Investigator of the National Centre for Mental Health and the Wolfson Centre for Young People’s Mental Health.
  “There’s a theory in suicide prevention research to explain why people engage in suicidal behaviour which includes the concept of thwarted belongingness and not feeling accepted. I wonder if the experience of growing up in North London as the child of immigrants, of the otherness of the sitting between two worlds and not quite belonging in either gave me a small insight and a real acceptance of those feelings in others and an appetite to defend and advocate for the vulnerable."
  Ann leads a team of dedicated researchers interested in how anonymised 'Big Data' - such as school attendance records, medical appointments, social media and media reporting - can be used to identify behaviour patterns and indicators of potential risk and then uses these markers to inform policy and protocols developed to help inform and train professionals in contact with those who self-harm or are at risk of suicide.
  “It is the translation of that research into policy and practice that drives us – be that developing guidance for all schools in Wales on self-harm, advising on TV storylines like Coronation Street, or drafting strategy documents.”
  The information gathered and interpreted by Professor John and her team has been used to inform Government Policy Development and provide guidance for teachers, social workers and healthcare professionals responding to those with thoughts of suicide or who self-harm. She also co-led a global suicide study and the living systematic review during the COVID-19 pandemic that were pivotal to our understanding of the impact of the pandemic on suicide and suicidal behaviours globally.

Applying for a PhD?
  You can start your PhD at Swansea University in October, January, April or July. Give yourself 3 to 6 months to plan and research before submitting your application.
  At Swansea, we offer two main types of PhD project:
•	Those that are pre-designed by an academic (more common in science and engineering subjects).
•	Those that you design yourself.
Pre-designed project.
  A pre-designed project will often be part of wider research being undertaken by an academic or research group. These usually have a defined title, fixed aims and objectives, and you’ll normally be supervised by the academic that designed the project. Swansea University advertises a large number of these opportunities throughout the academic year in all subject areas.
Funding:
  Research scholarships at Swansea University usually provide funding for the duration of your studies.
  There are also PhD loans available through Student Finance England and Student Finance Wales.
Application:
  Applying is straightforward - you’ll just need to follow the instructions on the project advertisement.
  These will usually have a specific application deadline so allow yourself plenty of time to complete any paperwork and gather references if required.
[Photograph of smiling student in a library.]

[page 145]

Self-designed project.
  A self-designed PhD will take a little more effort and thought to get started, but you should ultimately end up with a project theme that truly excites and interests you.
Contact potential supervisors:
  After coming up with an initial idea for a project, you will need to identify and contact an appropriate academic supervisor.
  A good starting point is to find the University department with the areas of strength that are most relevant to your research. You can use Swansea University’s online directory of expertise, speak to your current supervisor, attend a study fair or a postgraduate open evening.
Funding:
  There are various ways to fund your PhD, including loans, available through Student Finance Wales and Student Finance England.
Find out more:
www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate/fees-and-funding/pg-loans
Application:
  Once you have identified a potential supervisor for your own research idea, you’ll need to contact them prior to submitting a formal application. Academics welcome informal approaches from prospective students and they will also be able to help shape your research proposal. Do your research before you submit and take your time preparing. Good luck!
