The School of Computer Science and Engineering invited student prize winners and their families to the annual Outstanding Student Awards on 8 May 2025, to recognise their outstanding performances from 2024. Many of our generous prize sponsors attended the ceremony to present the prizes in person and speak to the students about career opportunities.

Professor Julien Epps, Dean of Engineering, congratulated all the prize winners and highlighted the impressiveness of their achievements, particularly given the size of the School of Computer Science and Engineering and the high standard of its students.
