Take part in GradEX

GradEX is an annual exhibition of final-year project work by students from across our engineering, computing, digital technologies, policing and science courses. Hundreds of visitors usually attend the event each year, including industry partners and prospective employers who are introduced to our talented students.

GradEX offers students the opportunity to present their work to prospective employers and plays an important role in their ongoing development. Each year, the interactions that take place between our students and key industry figures result in job offers and career opportunities for our future graduates.

Our students

One of the keys things about the course was the diversity. It was really tailored towards the digital age and I spent a lot of hands-on time with CAD systems. The lecturers were also critical in my personal development and professional career.
