Many thanks to PSA Singapore for hosting 140 ICT Software Engineering and Information Security students for the visit today to their Innovation Center and Control Center. Great to meet up with staff from the PSA IT department (some of them are our ex-students from the UofG Computing Science Programme and ICT Software Engineering Programme!) who took their time to brief and interact with our students.
