UWEcyber host a weekly seminar series every Wednesdays at 12pm, on campus, at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). It is an opportunity to hear from invited speakers from industry, academia and government on all things related to cyber security, to expand your knowledge and understand across the broad spectrum of cyber security. All are welcome to attend our seminars, specifically all postgraduate and undergraduate students studying cyber security at UWE. We encourage you to attend, listen, discuss and debate - speakers are quite often keen to talk about job opportunities - so another excellent reason to join and take part in the discussions!
