Our students were recently joined by Phil Rees, CEO of SHIPMAX Ltd, for an ‘Industry Guest Lecture’ that focused on AI, e-commerce, innovation and what really matters in the world of industry. 💡🚀🌟

Phil’s talk was open and authentic, confidence‑building, less about perfection, more about honesty, refreshingly aligned with how modern digital work really gets done and very valuable to our students. 👏

One of our final year students ‘Kieran Brown’ recently visited the MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) Conference 2026 in Boston Massachusetts.

The Conference brought together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to engage with cutting‑edge developments emerging from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The conference also served as a forum for collaboration between academia and industry, supporting the translation of the latest research into practical, real‑world applications.

"Through a series of talks and lectures we explored emerging trends in artificial intelligence and gained exposure to practical tools and recommendations shaping the future of the field." - Kieran Brown
