EASy MSc

Industry Involvement

To ensure that the relevant aspects of the course address the needs of industry, we have an Industrial Steering Committee. There are currently 10 companies represented on the Board ranging from large multi-nationals to local SMEs. The Industrial board provides input on course development; offers collaboration on students projects and participates in an annual programme of industrial-academic liaison activities.

The annual programme of industrial liaison activity includes guest lectures from industry and commerce; visits to companies, company presentations; and an MSc project poster presentation event. All these events are open to all members of the EASy group.

The companies represented are:

• Naturalmotion
• BT Laboratories
• debis IT UK
• Infermed
• Logica
• Momentum Healthcare
• Motorola UK Labs
• Quietstars
• Ricardo Consulting Engineers
• SearchSpace
• Victoria Real
