About the Festival

Following the success of last year’s award-winning Digital Skills Festival, we’re delighted to announce that the Digital Skills Festival will return for a second year between Monday 30th May and Friday 3rd June 2022.

Free to attend to University students and staff, the festival will include a number of interactive events, presentations, workshops and courses, delivered by speakers from within and outside of the University.
