Our Students
Hear from our students and graduates
Each year we hold an annual School of Computing Sciences Careers events which all students from the school are invited to. The event is a great opportunity for students to gain insight into what others who were previously in their shoes have done with their degrees since entering the world of work. At our event in March 2023, we invited three alumni students who shared their experiences in their careers so far, and answered questions from the audience. The speakers in 2023 were:
- Alex Rattigan, IT Graduate at Lotus Cars
- Sarah Hanna, Senior User Researcher at Methods
- Will Vickers, Software Engineer at Alfa Financial Software

In addition, to support employability, we send a weekly vacancy email (which has summer internships, work experience, student jobs, volunteering, Placement year and graduate opportunities.
We also send a monthly careers bulletin with events/extracurricular ideas and opportunities and initiatives to get involved in.
