COURSE OVERVIEW
Start dates: 1st October, 1st January, 1st April, 1st July.
Swansea University has been at the forefront of international research in the area of civil and computational engineering. Internationally renowned engineers at Swansea pioneered the development of numerical techniques, such as the finite element method, and associated computational procedures that have enabled the solution of many complex engineering problems.
Computer simulation is now an established discipline that has an important role to play in engineering, science and in newly emerging areas of interdisciplinary research.
The Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering at Swansea University has excellent computing facilities, including a state-of-the-art multi-processor super computer with virtual reality facilities and high-speed networking.
Research within Engineering at Swansea University is multidisciplinary in nature, incorporating our strengths in research areas across the Engineering disciplines.
Computational mechanics forms the basis for the majority of the MSc by Research projects within this engineering discipline.
How you are Supervised
Your supervisor will:
- Help you develop your research plan in the early stages
- Advise on research aims and objectives and suggest relevant training or skills courses
- Provide direction in terms of relevant literature and sources
- Give guidance on gathering, recording and analysing data
- Supervise your written work, providing constructive criticism and ensuring you keep to deadlines
- Support and advise you when it comes to presenting papers at conferences, publishing your work and attending your viva (the final oral examination of your thesis)

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
