In 2015, Capgemini UK is bringing the competition to University students in
the UK, asking teams of two people to review a technology-related business case
study and to make recommendations in a 3-slide presentation.
The teams with the best presentations will get the chance present it back
to a panel of Capgemini experts in a heat stage of the competition held in
Manchester in the lead up to Christmas, and the winners of each heat will then
get the opportunity to compete for the Super Techies 2015 title in Capgemini

Starting university can be an
emotional time, as you will be leaving things, people and places that are
familiar to you. The first few weeks at university can be exciting and can
be a time when you feel isolated and alone.
It is important to know that
to feel homesick is not about being weak or childish.
It is important
however that you do not sit in your room feeling lost and there are things
you could do to feel better.
There is a workshop on Monday 27th October arranged by
the Counselling, Health and Wellbeing service to help you deal with
homesickness and look at factors you need to consider if you are thinking of
leaving university. Why not come along and meet other students who are
feeling similar to yourself.
Please contact Counselling,
