Industrial Advisory Board

We have a dedicated Industrial Advisory Board which meets annually and discusses issues relating to the curriculum, employment and research collaborations. The industrial members are extremely supportive of the department and its students. They are enthusiastic about the high quality of graduates that we produce, and particularly interested in the industrial projects carried out by students on our courses.
