Two computer science students working in the lab

Who are you? Clifford. What's your job title? Senior Lecturer.

Every subject area in computing would have elements in place where students can go on and get some hands-on experience because students tend to learn a bit better, you know, by seeing what's done in practice, hands -on, and then you can go back and read the theory.

I've seen the university evolve over the years, students are different now, they express themselves with different avenues, very vibrant culture, very active. The Middlesex you have got great people, you've got a great time, great culture, a great place to open yourself, actually explore yourself.

You know, getting the best grades, getting a first class, being able to sort of communicate in every second stance you find yourself and be confident about what you've learned. We've got partnerships with Cisco, we've got partnerships with Huawei, KPMG, and a few other big heaters out there in the city, and the great news about the placement is to get retained if they perform really well, so you might have a job waiting for you after graduation.

I would say the whole journey was fantastic, the university has been really supportive throughout my course and even after that. I've just started a new job, so for me it would be to give my best there, and that's my goal now.

The moment I went into a classroom and started to do some teaching, I realised that was my calling. Still enjoyed, still magical every time I walk into a classroom.
