Projects
From ideas to outcomes
A selection of projects where the team has delivered solutions, explored new ideas, and trialled emerging technologies to solve real problems
HR Application Screening
The Innovation team developed an experimental system that extracts requirements from job descriptions and related documentation to generate a scoring rubric, against which applications can be assessed in a similar way to rubric‑based essay marking.
Module Evaluation
The Innovation team designed and delivered an interim module evaluation service within a two‑week period, enabling students to complete evaluations for their registered modules using centrally managed data.
nebulaOne
We partnered with US-based, AI frontier firm Cloudforce to develop a web interface for building, deploying, and interacting with LLM models and agents. Without writing a line of code, users can create teams of agents that connect to disparate University datasets and complete complex tasks autonomously.
Personalised Learner Profile
Integrating multiple University data sources to process millions of rows of data daily, we helped to build the initial pilot version of PLP – a web application that provides students and their tutors with an up-to-date, single pane of glass overview of who they are and how they are engaging with their studies.
Student Academic Engagement
Collaborating with colleagues across various professional and academic departments, we built a centralised report that integrates multiple complex datasets and reports on student attendance at various grains to meet business needs.
Survey Analytics
Through collaboration with the External Relations Market Insight Team, we developed a web application that allows users to upload a spreadsheet containing free text survey comments, choose specific topics to explore, and automatically generate LLM-powered sentiment analysis – as well as compare the results of different surveys side-by-side.
