Working with Industry

Industrial Advisory Boards

We have several Industrial Advisory Boards (IABs). They inform the content and delivery of School of Computing degree programmes by consultation.

The boards comprise:

• senior executives from digital and tech businesses based in this region, nationally and internationally
• representative Computing Science alumni of the School now working in industry

The IABs meet either two or three times per year. They are consulted principally about:

• emerging priorities from industry
• skills, knowledge and attributes businesses require in their workforce 
• mutually interesting themes for research collaboration
