Unlike other classes of supernovae (SNe), Type IIn's are very bright in the UV and can be used in z>2 optical surveys (Cooke et al. 2009). Their intrinsic brightness and long-lived emission also aid in spectroscopically confirming these SNe in such surveys (Cooke 2008). Since they are associated with massive stars and because of their intrinsic UV brightness, Type IIn's are potentially strong probes of star formation out to relatively large redshifts (z>2). Here we present the UV properties of nearby Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope observed Type IIn SNe from early epochs. The data are then compared against rest frame UV observations of high-z counterparts in order to test for evolution.
