Teaching & Curriculum
University modules in computer science and data science, combining technical rigour with real-world industry application.
Approach
Industry-Embedded Projects
Employer-designed briefs that bring real-world constraints and ambiguity into the classroom — preparing students for professional complexity.
Research-Informed Teaching
Bringing active research into the curriculum — students engage with live geospatial AI methods, datasets, and tools from ongoing projects.
Interdisciplinary Programme Design
Co-developing programmes at the intersection of Computer Science and Business — contributing to a 60% increase in applications and 90% increase in offer acceptance rates at Birmingham Newman University.
