Thanks to the skills and experience that many of the four-year BA (Hons) Computer Science graduates have picked up during their studies and placements, the cohort of new employees have been able to make an immediate industry impact.
Having a fruitful partnership with 亚博体育官网 has helped the company have access to the many talented graduates from the School of Computing, providing a huge boost for Fennex and those looking to move into the digital sector after graduation.

Nearly six years later, he is part of the Fennex story and agreed that what he learned at 亚博体育官网 provided a solid foundation to develop his personal and professional skills within the workplace.
Sean Bissett, a more recent 亚博体育官网 graduate, joined Fennex nine months ago and cites the workplace environment where staff are actively encouraged to suggest new ideas and challenge industry knowledge as key to the firms鈥 success, especially considering the fast-paced and ever-changing sector landscape.
