Description
We are delighted to invite you to join us on campus for our Annual Computing in Business (CiB) Exhibition on 15 May 2026 and meet the next generation of computing professionals.
This year, all first-year students from across our undergraduate Computing & Informatics degrees will once again take part in CiB, an integrated, authentic assessment that challenges them to design a system solution for a real client brief. For 2026. This year, the hypothetical business challenge has been set by our industry partner, JP Morgan.
Working in groups, students will develop a proposed system design to solve the client’s problem. The exhibition is the culminating showcase of this work, providing students with the opportunity to present their designs to their client, industry guests, academics, and peers. Each year we are incredibly proud of the creativity, professionalism, and technical skill demonstrated by our students, and we are excited to share this year’s projects with you.
