Congratulations to the Masters Class of 2011, and our PhD students, who graduated today. Students were invited to a reception in the school to celebrate their achievement with staff, friends and family. Our graduates have moved on to a wide variety of interesting and challenging employment opportunities, and we wish them all well with their future careers.
How did you mark the palindromic moment? Did it involve chocolate fingers and giant chocolate buttons?
Events across the UK also marked Armistice Day with a two-minute silence.
Why has there been so much activity and excitement around the fish tank this week?
Baby Cichlids have been spotted hiding amongst the rocks. Let’s hope they grow large enough, not be eaten, when they make a bid for freedom.
Photographing the camera shy proved rather tricky. Masih finally succeeded this morning.
November 2002, and plans were unveiled in the university news, for a new Computer Science Building. Stages of the build were photographed for posterity.
Another successful and well-attended Wednesday visiting day took place yesterday. Prospective undergraduates had the opportunity to meet staff, current students, eat cake and view the School facilities.
The familiar but extremely useful events are organised by Tristan, Adam and Saleem with help from volunteer students.
Isabel, Jesal, Anastasia and Thomas were the student volunteers undertaking yesterday’s tour and answering general questions.
Life in the Comp Sci Labs
The MSc lab in the John Honey building was busy with IT students holding initial group work meetings, for their next assignment. The advanced network students were networking, in a virtual sense, using WI-FI island.
Yemliha and Umer looked occupied in the HCI lab. A number of 3rd and 4th year students were busy with Project work in The Honours lab. Alas Davie and Jim were busy elsewhere.
Attendance in the 1st and 2nd year sub-honours lab, in the Jack Cole building, could be indicative of an imminent deadline. Modelling of various persuasions appeared to be the focus.
Junior and Senior Honours were provided with milk based food products, nibbles and fermented fruit juice during their reception.
Various attempts to look studious were captured for posterity.
