Formal teaching for these courses will be delivered at Parkgate Road in Chester from April 2021. The university will still own the Thornton site which will be used for research purposes. The close links that currently exist between the University and the companies based at Thornton will continue.
Why Study?
Alongside our dedicated staff, guest lecturers, industrial experts and mentors contribute to teaching, including at our annual conference. Our courses have a strong focus on employability, merging academic disciplines with practical, technical skills. We work closely with industry to ensure we equip our students with the skills employers are seeking.
Learning Site
You will be based within the Department of Computer Science, Electronics and Electrical Engineering. You will have access to high-specification computer facilities featuring industry-standard engineering, design and development software, Windows and Mac computer suites, and virtualisation facilities.
Research Active Staff
Our research work focuses on visualisation, interaction and graphics; medical graphics; cybersecurity; and discrete optimisation, and our staff actively contribute to the development and understanding of information technology. Staff also provide consultancy and guidance to employers on ICT-related issues, particularly via the Informatics Centre – the Department’s own software development centre.
