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 9]

[Two photographs: a person holding a marker pen and standing in front of a class, with a whiteboard nearby; a student working on a laptop.]
Fast-Track.
  If you are a current Swansea University student in your final year of undergraduate study you can apply to study on an eligible master’s course via fast-track. It’s quick and easy, and you’ll receive a decision within 48 working hours!
Conversion Courses.
  If you want to change 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 following course pages.
Is a Postgraduate Taught Degree Programme Right for Me?
  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.
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.

[page 10]

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 of students. The first is of a student working with a machine, the second is of two students working on laptops, the third is of a student in a lab coat and googles, holding a volumetric flask with amber liquid in it, the fourth image is of a student working on a PC.]
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.

[page 12]

Is a Research Degree right for me?
  Yes, if you want to:
•	Pursue a career in academia or research.
•	Explore an individual topic in depth.
•	Acquire extensive and specialised research skills.
•	Enhance your career prospects.

https://www.swansea.ac.uk/research/research-with-us/postgraduate-research/
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 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.
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 85).
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, the project is written up into a thesis of not more than 100,000 words and assessed via an oral (viva voce) examination.

[page 13]

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 up to 80,000 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. [* [asterisk] Please visit our website for conditions.]

Undergrad to Postgrad.
  Many members of our four thousand-strong postgraduate community are former undergraduate students who enjoyed their time in Swansea so much, they chose to stay!
  There’s lots of benefits to staying with us in Swansea to study your postgraduate degree:
1.	You’ll already be familiar with the University, its campuses and surrounding areas.
2.	Having already studied with us, you’ll know all the best places to live, study, eat or relax!
3.	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.
4.	You may already know several of your postgraduate course-mates, and you may even be able to continue living with former flatmates.
5.	Swansea’s range of conversion courses allow you to study for your postgraduate degree in a completely new subject area.
6.	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.
7.	As a current Swansea student, you’ll complete a much shorter application form for your chosen postgraduate course via FastTrack.
  Some of our current students share their experiences of transitioning from undergraduate to postgraduate study:
[Photograph of the student smiling next to each quotation.]
Becky Greenway, MA International Journalism student.
  “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”.

[page 19]

Hywel Evans, MPhys Physics graduate.
  “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, Applied Medical Sciences graduate.
  “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 has 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 Bay, Langland, Caswell and Bracelet Bay. Swansea sports, a great student life, encouraging balancing academia with exploring its idyllic settings and excellent nightlife, which 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?”

Join our Outstanding Alumni.
[Photograph of the student next to each alumnus. Kate McMurdo is holding 2 children in the photograph.]
  At Swansea University we are extremely proud of our graduates. When you study with us, you’ll join the thousands of alumni who have used their experiences at Swansea to make their mark on the world. Many have gone on to achieve great success in their careers, becoming business leaders, sporting champions, undertaking ground-breaking research, or finding their place in the limelight. Here we share some of their inspirational stories.
Kate McMurdo; LLM Legal Practice and Advanced Drafting, Class of 2019; Disability rights campaigner, Education activist, Supermum.
  “I realised that if I wanted to change things and really challenge the system, I needed to understand the law and be a part of the change that I wanted to see. I thought that if I trained to become a barrister, perhaps I could advocate for families facing injustice and discrimination”.
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/kate-mcmurdo
Rawan Taha; MSc Public Health and Health Promotion, Class of 2018; Eira Francis Davies scholar, Humanitarian Affairs fellow. Climate Change combatant.
  “As a young scholarly African woman, I was looking for a university that provided opportunities for young leaders like myself.
  My advice to current students is to use university time to become beyond your degree, beyond your thesis and beyond your transcripts. Only then will you be able to get a job and live a life that is beyond your expectations”.
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/rawan-taha

[page 25]

David Smith; MEng Aerospace Engineering, Class of 2014; Paralympian.
  “I wanted to study Aerospace Engineering and the staff around the course, the general atmosphere and the beach were the main draw. Some of my favourite memories include the study trips that involved flying like the flying lab at Cranfield or flying around the Gower.”
  Receiving his first Paralympic gold just before fresher’s week, World and Paralympic Champion, David aims to dominate in the sport of Boccia and won his fifth Paralympic medal at Tokyo 2021.
https://www.swansea.ac.uk/alumni/alumni-profiles/david-smith
Alex Ruddy; Graduate Entry Medicine, Class of 2019; Stepped up to work as a frontline medic during the Covid-19 pandemic.
  “The prospect of beginning my career as a doctor a few months early filled me with a sense of nervous duty. We have trained for this moment for the past four years - and have been working towards it for much longer - and above the sense of personal fear or anxiety I think we are all eager to apply ourselves to this crisis and help our NHS at this time of immense need”.

Get to know Swansea.
[Two photographs. One of two people carrying surfboards on a Gower beach and one of two people wearing sunglasses and summer clothes near Mumbles Pier.]
On your doorstep.
  On the Gower Peninsula you can unwind in the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, relax on award-winning beaches and explore unspoilt countryside, with the Brecon Beacons National Park just a 30 minute drive away. The region has some of the UK’s best locations for coastal path walks, surfing, cycling, watersports, rock climbing and golf; for the adventure sport enthusiast to the lazy walk on the beach, there’s something for everyone.
Mumbles.
  Birthplace of Catherine Zeta Jones, the quaint village of Mumbles is host to a great variety of shops, cafés, wine bars, pubs and restaurants. Take a stroll and enjoy an ice cream at one of the many parlours dotted along the promenade or grab a bite to eat at one of the seafront cafés or restaurants overlooking Swansea Bay.
Shopping.
  Shop big high street names as well as independent boutiques, specialist shops and traditional arcades. You can visit designer boutiques in Mumbles, shop vintage outlets in Uplands or pick up a bargain in Wales’ largest indoor market in the heart of the city.

[page 27]

Explore.
[Photograph of a waterfall with a person wearing protective clothing and helmet jumping into the pool of water beneath. The caption reads: Brecon Beacons, Wales.]
Culture.
Arts.
  Swansea is a vibrant centre for art and The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is widely recognised as the city’s premier venue for art exhibitions. All national museums and art galleries in Wales are free to enter, so you can soak up our history and join one of the many trips organised by Swansea University’s Students’ Union.
The Taliesin Arts Centre.
  The Taliesin Arts Centre sits at the heart of the Singleton Park Campus and hosts regular productions, mainstream and alternative cinema screenings, a restaurant, bar, and the award-winning Egypt Centre, home to a collection of over 5,000 Egyptian antiquities.
Entertainment: Music & Festivals.
  Wales is famed as the ‘land of song’ and as a student at Swansea University you won’t be disappointed by the range of music on offer across the city! Swansea boasts a huge variety of music venues and plays host to a number of music festivals and events throughout the year.
  The new 3,500 capacity Swansea Arena opened in March 2022 and is set to host a range of performance across music, comedy, theatre and e-sports.
[Photograph of the outside of the new Swansea arena.]
Joanna Wolton, PhD student.
  “I do like a good market, and I am lucky that where I live in the Uplands, we have a monthly market where local growers, producers, farmers and caterers sell their wares. This is a cute little market, so if like me you love food and trinkets give it a visit!”
Home of Dylan Thomas.
  Swansea’s most famous son, Dylan Thomas said: “Swansea is still the best” and the poet’s legacy is found throughout the city from cafés to pubs and parks.

Vincent Zhang, LLM International Maritime Law.
[Photograph of Vincent Zhang smiling.]
  How would you describe your time at the university in one sentence?
•	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. It granted me freedom and flexibility to apply public health disciplines to issues that I am passionate about.
  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!
Tanya Marie Trott, MSc Environmental Dynamics and Climate Change.
[Photograph of Tanya Marie Trott smiling.]
  Top 3 favourite things about Swansea:

  Why did you choose to study your degree at Swansea?

  What is your favourite thing about your course?
Welcoming department, course content and lecturers.
  What are you planning/hoping to do after you graduate?

  What are you planning/hoping to do after you graduate?

Eric Wen, PhD Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
[Photograph of Eric Wen smiling.]
  Why did you decide to study MSc Electronic and Electrical Engineering?
  Electrical and electronic engineers work at the forefront of practical technology, improving the devices and systems we use every day. I know that this degree will stand me in good stead for my future, whatever career path I decide to take.
  Why did you choose to study your degree at Swansea?
  My favourite thing is that I was taught by experts in their fields. A variety of teaching methods such as lectures, lab sessions, and independent study create an optimum learning environment for me. I like the modules Swansea University set for the course. Moreover, there are modules related to the power system, power electronics, semiconductor and nanotechnology, which means students could find out which path is their favourite.
  What are you planning/hoping to do after doing your Postgraduate Research?
  I look forward to an opportunity to begin my career in real-life power system engineering and give full play to my professional expertise.

Lowri Wilkie, PhD in Psychology.
[Photograph of Lowri Wilkie smiling.]
  Lowri has her own wellbeing business and brand, where she conducts workshops, guided meditation sessions, hosts retreats and offers consultations and training on all things wellbeing.
  She is currently studying a PhD in Psychology with a focus on wellbeing interventions and programmes.
  She has found studying and having her own business brilliant. The support from the University and the Enterprise Team has been super helpful whilst getting set up and making contacts.
The University has been a great platform for marketing her business and having the opportunity to meet others who have their own businesses too. It has allowed her to also disseminate some of her PhD research in a more practical sense, by implementing it into her business models and what she practices.
  Sometimes it can be difficult to manage both! But effective time-management and planning go a long way when running your own business.
  What inspired Lowri to start her business was that ultimately, she loves all things wellbeing and self-development - it’s a passion of hers! Her own journey into reading and learning about wellbeing and how to use this to feel fulfilled and happy inspired her to want to cascade this to others, and really encourage the importance of it all.
  Knowing that the University has services that are dedicated to supporting student businesses has been great. There is always someone on hand to talk things through, even if it is something small.

Student Experiences.
[Photograph of each student by their quotation.]
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 has been 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 has been 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 here at Swansea University."

Caroline (Swansea University postgraduate student, WhatUni review 5-stars).
  “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 learning 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 in 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.
  My favourite modules are Corporate Reporting and Advanced Performance Management; the lecturer is very good and helped me to really understand the topic.

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.]
  “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.”

  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 SêrSAM 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.”

Following this ethos, in collaboration industrial partners, she is currently enabling the commercialisation of next-generation sustainable batteries.
  Professor Margadonna said: “The performance requirements for batteries are increasingly demanding and research in new materials, processes and designs are necessary to achieve substantial step-change improvements that will support the net-zero transition.”
  Her research approach has produced a number of significant advances that have attracted peer-recognition as shown by a number of high-impact publications, citations and international awards. She was recently elected as a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales and has been named as one of the 2022’s Top 50 Women in Engineering: Inventors and Innovators by the Women’s Engineering Society.
  Professor Margadonna’s current research focuses on next-generation energy storage solutions. Her vision is to give a contribution towards a green economy by developing batteries that utilise abundant and widely available materials and designed to be recycled. She is currently collaborating with a range of industries to fast track the commercialisation of her innovative devices.
  Serena is committed to providing an excellent teaching and training experience. She said: "Throughout my career, I have always strongly believed that knowledge transfer and high quality education is the key for improving the standard of life for future generations."

Great Minds – Professor Siwan Davies.
  Head of the School of Biosciences, Geography and Physics.
  “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.]
  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.

Moreover, among research staff within the department, the areas of expertise include; core disciplines of probability theories and stochastic processes, and interdisciplinary areas of applied statistics and biomathematics. The department works closely with professional organisations, i.e. London Mathematical Society and Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.
  My supervisors provided excellent academic supervision and mentoring during my MRes in Stochastic Processes and my PhD in Mathematics, and members of staff were always available for consultations when required.
  The Department of Mathematics also supports training programmes, resources on research skills and professional development including scientific writing, project management and communication skills. Throughout my time in Swansea, I particularly enjoyed cycling or ambling to Mumbles along the beach, and the quick access among campus, beach and town.
  I am now holding a statistician post in the Research and Development division in Public Health Wales. I provide advice and leadership on the design and analysis of complex research and evaluation programmes supporting population health. Utilising routinely collected electronic health records and applying mathematical and statistical modelling on big data in health, to help improve understanding of the impact and effectiveness of public health policies and interventions, and eventually save lives.”

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).

[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.

Great Minds – Kelly Mackintosh.
  Chair in Physical Activity and Health and Exercise, Medicine and Health Research Group Lead.
  “Postgraduate education is fundamental to creating your own professional pathway; undergraduate studies is like passing your driving test - it provides the key foundations and sparks an interest in a specific area... but it isn’t until you delve deeper you really start to learn your own driving style and route you want to take.”
[Photograph of Kelly Mackintosh.]
  Novel ways to measure and promote physical activity across the age span and health continuum.
  Professor Mackintosh's interdisciplinary and international collaborations has led to a high volume of peer-reviewed research, competitive grant income and international awards. Most recently, Professor Mackintosh was ranked in the top 1% of published authors in her research area over the last ten years. To date, as the Exercise, Medicine and Health Research Group Lead, Professor Mackintosh has published over 100 internationally peer-reviewed scientific papers focusing on the use of novel approaches to both measure and promote physical activity and decrease sedentary behaviour, across the lifespan and disease status, on a population level.
  Kelly is passionate about ensuring excellent leadership to early career researchers, providing solid foundations to developing future research leaders and those who can make a real difference to the health of our nation. Together with Professor Melitta McNarry, Professor Mackintosh has driven the Welsh Institute of Physical Activity Health and Sport (WIPAHS), a partnership with Sport Wales and all Higher Education Institutes across Wales. WIPAHS brings together academics, those facilitating physical activity, policymakers, and the public, to address fundamental questions surrounding the nations' health and well-being, whilst simultaneously providing development and leadership opportunities for early career researchers.
  Professor Mackintosh said: "I truly value opportunities to develop early career researchers, as it allows me to contribute to, and shape, their career trajectory as well as the promotion of physical activity and health, in the UK, Europe and further afield.”
  Kelly was on the Chief Medical Officer's (CMO's) expert working group to update the Children and Young People's United Kingdom Physical Activity Guidelines, as well as the CMO's expert committee for surveillance, and currently sits on the World Health Organization's (WHO) Health Enhancing Physical Activity Strategic Management Board.

Taught Master’s.
Application Timeline.
  Whether your course starts in September or January, it’s good to start thinking about postgraduate study options at least six months before the course starts.
[Transcriber’s note: The remaining text on pages 134 and 135 follows a numbered timeline. Each number on the timeline is accompanied by a checkbox. End of note.]
01. Start Planning.
  Are you thinking about continuing with your current subject or studying something completely different? You may also want to think about whether a taught course or a research programme is right for you. It’s a good idea to contact your referees and prepare a personal statement before starting your application.
  Our postgraduate open evenings give you the opportunity to explore all of your options at our beach side campuses.

02. Apply and Receive Offer.
  You can apply directly to Swansea University for most of our postgraduate courses (with some exceptions). You can also find out if you have been offered a place to study on your chosen course usually within 9 working days.
  You can apply by the end of July (for September entry) and end of November (for January entry) at the latest but don’t leave it too late as you may miss scholarship opportunities.

[page 136]
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.
[Photograph of a female student standing in a corridor next to a noticeboard.]
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.

[page 137]

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: 
https://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!
