Seminars are free and open to all postgraduate students
in the Department of Computing and the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics. No booking is necessary and
biscuits, tea and coffee are provided. Seminars are as
informal as the speaker desires. If you are not a postgraduate
student and wish to attend a seminar you may only do so with
the express permission of the relevant speaker(s).
If you are interested in giving a presentation in this
seminar series, or to make suggestions for speakers, please
