Media Technology Project Exhibition 2019

It’s the season when our third year students are frantically building, testing and researching for their major projects. During their third year, Media Technology students conduct a self-managed project of significant scale and complexity, in which they create an artefact that provides a solution to an identified technical problem or challenge. The output of the projects usually take the form of a piece of hardware or software or the practical implementation of a new technique or dataset.

The students then produce a 10,000 word dissertation based on their project and demonstrate the output in a conference style exhibition.

We warmly welcome graduates, industry contacts, friends of the programme and anyone interested in media technologies to attend this year’s exhibition. Come and see what our students have been up to and discuss their projects and aspirations.

Date: Thursday 23 May
