Dr Llyr Ap Cenydd from Bangor University speaks:

"The age of AI is upon us, and industries have been revolutionised with more exciting opportunities than ever before.

At Bangor University, our courses will prepare you for an exciting and future proofed career in the technology sector.

So at Bangor, we practice research led teaching. Computer science is no different.

So the people that are lecturing you are experts in their field. 

So I teach game design, game development, AI, and these are very much things I do for research and also for development as well."

Catty langfornd speaks:

"My undergraduate degree at Bangor University showed me my love of computer science.

We got to cover so many different aspects of the fields, which showed me what I loved the most and led to my PhD in operational research,

where I'm looking at electric vehicle rooting for middle mile deliveries."

Steph Parry speaks:

"The thing I enjoy most about Bangor University that I think sets it apart from other universities is the community,

the lecturers, they're very passionate and the support is great.

Like, I walk down the corridor and every lecturer will say, hi."

Catty Langford speaks:

"Bangor's open so many doors to me.

Soon I'll be travelling to Montreal, Canada to work with Professor Michelle Gendreau, who is the top researcher in the field that I'm studying.

It's such an exciting opportunity and I can't wait to go."

Steph Parry speaks:

"This semester we are going to spark, and we get to work with local businesses and do a project based on their proposals."

Dr Mosab Bazargani speaks:

"In this school, we base your final year project based on our industrial collaboration with global companies such as Airbus and Air France-KLM.

This will give you a hands on industrial experience on real world problems.

I'm working with the biggest tech companies in the world. I'm really working right on cutting edge and pioneering over it.

Sometimes, unless the kind of thing you can do as a student here as well."

Dr Llyr ap Cennydd speaks:

"For your third year project, for example, you can be teamed up with somebody like me.

If you have interest in virtual reality or game design and development, you can start that process for yourself and work on something that's really passionate to you."

Catty Langford speaks:

"My advice for anyone who's thinking of coming to Bangor would be to immerse yourself in the amazing community we have here.

Everyone is so welcoming, the lecturers are so supportive and you'll make friends straight away."

Watch - Computer Science and Engineering EXPO 2025

Student, Catty Langford, holding a microphone reporting from the EXPO
Video: Computer Science and Engineering Expo 2025

Welcome to the 2025 Computer Science and Engineering Expo.

I love the expo. It's that time of year. We can see the lights at the end of the tunnel.

This is a showcase of what students have been working on for their final year projects, so we can actually see the results in public.

They can show their friends, show colleagues, show academics, and also show businesses.

There's also businesses here today giving short talks, and often they will have jobs available.

Or they might want to interview a few of the students.

And there's no better way of making a first impression than the poster showing probably the biggest project they've worked on so far.

My name is Pranav Rookie SPG. I'm a third year Electronic Engineering student here at Bangor.

my project is on making biodegradable electronics, specifically our tree cellulose.

So at the moment most of the electronics that we have goes well until the end of life cycles made out of petroleum based things.

It's really toxic to the environment. So this essentially out there, the end of life cycle can go and be turned into compost.

So the whole thing is biodegradable. When you make electronics, your body produces like 100,000 skin cells every second.

So even one of those can contaminate a sample. So I work in a clean room, which basically covers my whole body.

So I have to work in a room where 81,000 particles exist any second.

We've got some companies here today. There's talks going on throughout the day as well.

Some of the students have got some CVS with them,

so it's an opportunity for them to see not just what's out there but what's out there locally as well.

So all the companies that with us today are local. My name is Brad Newman and I work for the TV and aerial filming specialist company Aerial Works,

where we specialise in aerial footage for television and film, and we also do R&D as well.

So we wanted to see what the latest and greatest minds coming out of Bangor University are.

And what they could potentially offer us in terms of the R&D side of things.

Plus it also gives them a little bit of an insight into seeing what sort of industries that are to offer,

you know, not just the stereotypical sort of industries. There's always people looking for stuff in the drone world as well.

My project is exploring VR interaction for history education.

So basically you're set in the Roman times.

and you've got a table in front of you with artefacts where the player picks them up and interacts with them.

The support from the lecturers is really good. Um, they have an open door policy where you can go in and ask them anything.

So they've worked with me very well. with the community.

It's just a lovely place to be here. Over the last three years I've had a variety of different modules.

I've had app focussed modules, UI focussed modules, game focussed modules,

and I wanted to combine them into one final project which was creating a UI that people could use to track their progress.

and all my lectures that I've had have also helped me.

I've spoken to them individually about the projects as well, so I've had a lot of help from them.

Can you tell me why this expo is such a good opportunity for students like yourself?

Yeah. Well, first of all, hence the name, um, Expo is a good way to expose my products to other people.

Also, it's a good opportunity to see other people what they'd be working on at.

It's it's great just to come together, isn't it, to share everything really.

Well, that's the end of 2025 Expo for Computer Science.

I've really enjoyed looking around today, seeing what the students should be doing, and good luck to everybody in the future.

Do you have a question about life as a Bangor University student? Our ambassadors will be happy to help you find the answer.

They can tell you more about studying here, about the amazing Clubs and Societies we have, and how they made friends and settled in to life at university as a Computer Science student. 

 

If you have any questions about the course, our lecturers are on hand to help. Below are some examples of frequently asked questions. Can you think of any more?
