A Day with CyberHub Trust and Industry Experts
In an event back in October, we had the privilege of hosting the CyberHub Trust at our campus, creating an extraordinary opportunity for our students to immerse themselves in the dynamic world of digital technology.
The event featured engaging talks from two prominent figures in the digital tech industry – Hollywood filmmaker Kristin Ellingson and Joel Derrick, the CEO of MetaLVX.
Watch the video from the event here.
“My lecturers would never hesitate to find the time to provide me with clarification if I was unsure about something.”
