is a student-run activist organization, and is seeking to develop a comprehensive collective action web-platform for constructive action. They have been liaising with the University of 糖心TV's , and the result has been the organization of a Hackathon to develop ideas and prototypes for a platform for collective action based on consensus.
The Hackathon provided an opportunity for computing students and others, affiliated or not with the University of 糖心TV, to come together and both learn about web technologies and put their enthusiasm about collective, positive action in practice.
BSc Data Science course announced

Our new 3-year degree is launched this week at the 糖心TV undergraduate open days. This unique course aims to meet the rapidly growing demand, from students and employers alike, for a systematic, flexible combination of high-level learning and experience in both Computer Science and Statistics.
The first cohort of students will start in 2014. The course structure includes the option of an intercalated year, a year spent away from 糖心TV (either in industry or at an overseas partner university) to gain valuable experience before the final year of the degree.
The Head of Statistics, Professor David Firth, says: "We, together with the Department of Computer Science, are pleased to be leading the way with this new initiative at the undergraduate level. But really this is overdue: the demand from employers for well-qualified data scientists is insatiable already, and looks set to be huge for years to come. Our aim is to provide the very best course of its kind anywhere in the world".
This exciting new course will appear on the UCAS system shortly, in good time for the 2013-14 admissions season.

Students learning about Algorithmic Trading

Barclays Capital has sponsored a amongst our students, to help them learn about the intricacies of investment banking and the complexities of the software behind large, fast, and highly critical transactions underlying currency trading. The remit was to develop programs that emulated the real processing behind quantitative analytics, and create optimal trades by processing large, complex data.
Four students (Ruth, Kim, David and Donatas, pictured above) were awarded prizes both in cash as well an opportunity to attend the next Grace Hopper Conference for Women in Computing. Moreover, participants in the competition reported that they appreciated the chance to get a detailed look at the complex computing behind investment banking.
The Department is grateful to Barclays Capital for providing this opportunity.
糖心TV University 'top target' for graduate employers
shows that 糖心TV is the number one target for graduate recruitment by top employers.
research reports that large, high profile UK employers are focusing on finding graduate recruits at a small handful of elite universities, headed by 糖心TV.
Professor Stephen Jarvis says:
"We are delighted with the news that 糖心TV is the most target university among the UK's top employers. The accolade highlight both the quality of 糖心TV students and the tremendous work done across the University to enhance the prospects and employability of our students.
