Warwick IFP - Computer Science - Academic Taster Session

Date Tue, 04 Jun
Location Online - MS Teams

Prospective students can experience what it is like being a student on the Warwick International Foundation Programme through one of our Academic taster sessions. The live webinars will be delivered by tutors who teach on the programme, and there will also be an opportunity to ask questions about Warwick, the IFP courses and modules in general.

Hear from Dr. Joe Alcantara, on the topic: "Recall is always watching: is AI a helpful assistant or an Orwellian Nightmare?" Microsoft Recall is a feature that ‘keeps track of everything you see and do on your computer and, in return, gives you the ability to search and retrieve anything you’ve done on the device’. Where is the line between helpful and harmful with this new technology? As technology becomes an increasing part of our every day lives, it is crucial that we evaluate risks of this and other software. In this talk, we discuss the Microsoft Recall feature and its pros and cons, as well as think about other areas of computer science where ethics need to be considered. Dr. Alcantara will also provide more information about the course and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. It is relevant for those interested in the IFP Computer Science or Physics and Engineering courses.

Hear from Dr. Lucy Ryland on the topic: Understanding Society and Politics

Have you ever thought about what is fair when it comes to distributing resources in society? Should everyone receive equal, or is there a fairer way? Theories of justice help us to consider the answers to these questions. Politics, philosophy and economics combine in this interactive taster session. It is also an opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding the teaching on the Warwick International Foundation Programme. It is relevant for those interested in the IFP Social Sciences or Law courses.

What is a live chat?

The School of Engineering hosts live chat sessions throughout the academic year that are managed by staff and student ambassadors from our department. These sessions are open to all and enables prospective students from the UK, EU and internationally to enquire or ask questions relating to the Engineering courses we offer.
Who am I messaging?

Each Undergraduate live chat is administered by a member of staff, often an Engineering academic or a an administrative member of staff responsible for recruitment or marketing. Postgraduate live chats are normally administered by a member of our Postgraduate administrative team. There may also be Engineering student ambassadors available to chat. At the beginning of the live chat session, they will introduce themselves to make you aware who they are.
