Project Showcase

Celebrate the culmination of our students' hard work at the Department of Computing's Project Showcase! Join us on Friday, June 26, 2026, to witness final-year project presentations delivered to an audience of academics, fellow students, and industry professionals.

Expect an exceptionally high caliber of presentations, featuring prize-winning projects.  

The showcase will feature approximately six project presentations, each including demos and a Q&A session. The diverse range of topics promises to be captivating, with past projects exploring Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Graphics, Visualization, Software Engineering, Programming Languages, Security, Computer Systems, Finance, and Formal Methods.

Several of this year's projects are already attracting major international interest and some of these are highly likely to feature.  Attendees will be asked to vote on the "Best Presentation Award" and the "People's Choice Award."
