030 | CASE STUDY
Charles Dobson Senior Lecturer—Computing
I am a Cumbrian by birth, brought up in the Eden valley. After graduating in 1993 I joined British Steel in Teesside. In 1997 an opportunity arose to join a college near my home town in Cumbria to manage the IT provision: the college was Newton Rigg.
The courses I teach on generally have small groups of students which gives me the opportunity to really get to know my students over the duration of their studies. I take great pleasure in seeing students develop and grow and ultimately land their first job on graduation.
We have a strong reputation locally for producing technically competent graduates with real-world experience. A high proportion of our graduates get an IT-related job in their first year after graduation. Our practice of bringing in external organisations to work alongside our final-year students provides fantastic opportunities to gain experience and graduate employment. The mix of academic and practical experience that we provide at the University of Cumbria gives students a head start in a competitive employment market.
I love Cumbria and all that it offers. The chance to live and work in what I consider to be one of the most beautiful parts of the country is worth a great deal to me.
