Our students have done exceptionally well at the national Unicode challenge by Showcode. In the Unicode 20/21 final --where only the top students of the top 30 Universities are left to compete-- Leicester students claimed place 11.

It is great to see that Leicester students have contributed to the gender diversity of the participants far above average: Leicester had 20.7% female students compared to 7.4% female student participation nationally.
When looking at the raw data of the whole challenge we can see that Leicester did exceptionally well throughout the contest that went on over a few months. In terms of points earned Leicester is on place 4 of 73 close behind Warwick (overall champion), Leeds (4th in final), and Imperial (3rd in final).
