Specific Projects

Front end for the UG Admissions Database

The School operates a Microsoft Access database for managing the UG student Admissions. It needs ‘customising’ for each new Academic session. An interface is needed to permit this process to be accomplished by Administrative staff. An interface to permit the several dozen queries to be searched is also required. There is also a requirement to develop the interface so that the database can be used by other schools.

Towards automatic generation of a Reference

Academic staff are frequently asked to provide a reference for a student. This project is to investigate the extent to which this process can be automated.
