Award-winning student work

Students at all levels are encouraged to take part in competitions both at the University and on national and international platforms. There are few years where this hasn't resulted in a win for the quality of our student work.

Award-winning projects include:

  • Footlume - a rug that lights up when stepped on
  • AllSocket - a system which integrates electrical wiring into a skirting board or similar wall pane
  • The FitFlop™ - a collaborative project which created a flipflop that makes exercising more effective
  • Wall climbing robot - a team of students created a robot which could climb a wall from a starting position on the floor.

Employer links

We take the future employability of our students very seriously and a major asset towards this is the key professional links we constantly develop with businesses and employers. We ensure our courses offer the skills and knowledge required by the 21st century so that on graduation this has a real impact on our student's employability.
