Andrew Southam

Biography

I am a Lecturer in Computing at the University of Cumbria, based at the Lancaster campus. My background includes teaching and leading on a range of digital and computing programmes, from T-Levels through to higher education. I am particularly interested in designing curricula that blend academic knowledge with practical, hands-on experience, ensuring students are equipped with the skills and confidence needed for the digital sector. I enjoy using interactive labs, simulations, and industry-linked projects to bring learning to life and make complex concepts more accessible.
