Keep Computing Year Zero Open

We, the undersigned, call on the University to reverse the decision to suspend the Computing Year Zero programme.

We understand that it is necessary to reduce the number of students and close some programmes for next year. However, Computing Year Zero is not simply another undergraduate programme. John, Dawn, Ann and Bharti have taught, supported, counselled, consoled and given a huge boost in confidence to their students and enabled us to be where we want to be.

Keep Computing Year Zero Open!
