AI is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and businesses are looking for graduates with the skills to help shape what's next.

From machine learning and robotics to software engineering and data science, an Artificial Intelligence degree can open the door to careers across almost every industry.

If you're looking for a degree that's preparing for the future, this could be it.

🚀 Explore Artificial Intelligence through Clearing.

🌍 Recently at the 11th International Digital Public Health Conference (DPH 2026) in Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸 (24–26 June), CSEE’s Dr Sefki Kolozali delivered a keynote on Internet of Things for Healthcare and Accessibility at the 2nd International Workshop on Architecture-Based IoT and Artificial Intelligence to Support Public Health.

Sefki also took part in an expert panel on digital health technologies and presented the paper, 'Safety-Prioritised Multimodal Navigation for Edge Smart Glasses with Constrained On-Device Language Models'

The paper was co-authored with CSEE's Professor Klaus McDonald-Maier, Dr Vishwanathan Mohan, and former MSc students Alireza Kalantarhormozi, Abdullah Ahmad, Ali Radwan, Ahmed Jafer, Soran Ghaderi, and Mustafa Mustafa. This research began as part of the students’ CE903 MSc project under Sefki’s supervision and was subsequently developed into a peer-reviewed conference publication!

Congratulations to everyone involved on this fantastic achievement! 🎉

And that's a wrap on Graduation 2026!🎓

We want to extend one final congratulations to all our graduates, we are incredibly proud of you and can't wait to see what you accomplish next! 🌟

Unfortunately, not all our prize winners could attend the graduation ceremony last week, so we wanted to take a moment to recognise and congratulate Cesar Vargas Urdaneta who won the The Project Presentation Prize, which is awarded for the best presentation on a final year project! 🏆

Remember, If you'd like any of the pictures shared over the last week, please email us at [email protected] 📷

Congratulations to Devon Fry who was awarded The Barrie Chaplain Innovation Award for achieving the highest overall CE301 mark!

Devon’s award-winning project was an intelligent IoT-based vibration monitoring system that uses affordable computing and machine learning to detect potential machinery faults in real time. Built using a Raspberry Pi and vibration sensors, the system continuously monitors equipment health, identifies abnormal behaviour, and can even diagnose likely fault types through a live dashboard. By combining advanced AI techniques with low-cost hardware, the project demonstrates a practical and scalable approach to condition monitoring that could help industries reduce maintenance costs and prevent equipment failures!

The Barrie Chaplin Innovation Award is named in honour of Emeritus Professor Barrie Chaplin, founder of the University of Essex’s Department of Electrical Engineering Science and a pioneer behind several world-first technological innovations. The award celebrates students who demonstrate innovation that benefits society while inspiring others to achieve excellence in their own lives and careers!

We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Andrew Chaplin, Barrie’s son, and Sarah Blake for joining us to present this fantastic award💙

Congratulations to Htet Hlaing and Mohamed Boussoura on winning The Creative Science Foundation Prize!
