Teaching and Student Pathways

The ‘Of the Practice’ roles provide an unrivalled opportunity for highly experienced industry and government practitioners to create and develop the career pathways of the next generation of computing graduates. Bring your wealth of experience to training and guiding our students into fulfilling and rewarding careers.
