We’re really proud of our work environment; undergraduates, postgraduates, and research students work together alongside academic and support staff.

• The world’s largest PlayStation development lab.
• Cyber security labs with the latest forensic equipment.
• Being part of the largest user of Microsoft Azure Lab services in the UK, bringing with it access to a wealth of cloud-based teaching resources.

You’ll also have some unique colleagues, in the shape of our humanoid robots Nao and Pepper and our pet robot dog MiRo.
