Outreach in the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Helping students explore the options available to pursue a career in science or engineering
Science and Technology Showcase
Here at the Â鶹´«Ã½ we are enthusiastic about informing the next generation of mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists and navigators about the study of these subjects at degree level and the rewarding careers that they lead on to. In particular, we would like to offer your school an online talk or activity and soon hope to be able to visit you or invite you and your students to one of our on-campus events.
