Southampton University holds electronics summer school
74 A-Level students from across the UK and beyond are taking part in the University of Southampton’s Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) annual summer school next week, with students coming from Dublin, Romania and Greece as well as the local area.
The summer school includes lectures covering varied aspects of ECS, from electronic and electrical engineering to computer science and software engineering.
Participants will be given the opportunity to tour the University of Southampton’s specialist facilities, such as the Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory and the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre.
Sponsored by Imagination Technologies and JP Morgan, the summer school’s links with industry are intended to give participants an understanding of career options for graduates.
The course includes a day trip to sponsors so students can see how specialised electronics and computer science skills are applied and valued in business and industry.
Dr Geoff Merrett, Senior Admissions Tutor for ECS, says:
“We hope that by taking part in the summer school we have engaged the students in the subjects, inspired them to apply for a university place and opened their eyes to the exciting breadth of careers a degree in ECS can lead to”.
This year’s residential course, organised by Dr Geoff Merrett and Dr Reena Pau, is continuing the success of last year, with a series of talks from leading Southampton academics.
