Innovation

Research and innovation activities are a key component of our departmental activities and involve the transfer of our knowledge and expertise into the commercial world.

Innovation is a key part of the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ experience, and the opportunities available across campus bring benefits to all that are associated with º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ.

Within the Department of Computer Sciences we have four key areas of focus for innovation:

  • Student opportunities: Extra-curricular activities offer students the opportunity to enhance their skills and learning and improve their employability.
  • Working with industry: Organisations can partner us through student and graduate recruitment, consultancy, collaborative research, licensing, and premises on the University’s Science and Enterprise Parks.
  • Research with impact: The partnerships we build through enterprise strengthen our research and ensure that it has a route to impact for social, cultural or economic benefit.
