Careers in Computing Day

About the day

The Careers in Computing Day is an exciting and interactive experience giving students the chance to get hands-on with the world of computing and discover the pathways it can open up. Through subject sessions in areas such as Games Programming, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence, students will experience university-style learning while developing new skills and exploring their interests.

Alongside these workshops, they’ll hear from our expert staff about the future of the digital sector and leave with fresh ideas and inspiration for their next steps in computing.

Students will also have the opportunity to work in our specialist computing labs and facilities, giving them a real feel for the environment and resources available at university.

Please note that this event will also be running on Thursday 5 March 2026.
