Every Master’s student undertakes a self-directed project as part of their Degree. At the conference, students will present a plan for their research project to be completed over the summer term. As scholars that are beyond a first degree, Master’s Students are expected to become leaders in knowledge acquisition and research. There is a saying in scientific disciplines that we have the privilege of standing on the shoulders of greatness we learn from the world’s most extraordinary thinkers, Turing, Lovelace, Babbage the list goes on … A master’s degree is a place where students are expected to start your journey in becoming thought leaders in industry, academia and society.

A Master’s project is an opportunity for students to shape their own work and to demonstrate their personal contribution to the mastery of computer science. The conference aims to provide students:

• with an opportunity to listen to their learned peers about other topics of computer science which they will study in-depth,
• a chance to present the area of computer science that you are passionate about and highlight your plan for your Masters’s project.
• a professional networking environment to respect, support and encourage each other, be curious and ask questions about each other’s work.
• an opportunity to meet local industry and employers, and develop your employability through skills and knowledge provided in the employability zone.
