Accenture Workshop

Our students recently enjoyed an interactive session with Accenture, exploring what effective teamwork looks like in a modern tech environment. They learned how diverse roles—such as web development, mobile apps, backend engineering and SQL—come together to deliver high‑quality products and services. The event also offered valuable guidance on entering the job market and discovering opportunities within Accenture.

MongoDB session

This year we were delighted to welcome Luce Carter from MongoDB for an engaging, practical workshop on CRUD operations. This hands-on experience gave our students a real insight into core database concepts and modern development practices.

Hackathons

Legal technology is a growing field, and events such as Hackathons allow our students to network, hear from industry experts, and gain valuable hands-on experience.

Back in October we welcomed Hippo Digital to our Leeds City Campus for a Sustainability Hackathon. The day explored key graduate attributes and skills which are transferable to the workplace, including effective communication, professionalism and entrepreneurship.
