Collaborative Project
A key feature of many of our programmes is the Collaborative Project module, where students address a brief provided by a real business or organisation.
About the Collaborative Project
Students from across the University form cross-disciplinary teams and use their individual experiences and expertise to solve a real business problem, provided by one of our partners organisations. The team work together for the duration of the module (3 weeks) to explore innovative and creative solutions to their brief, before presenting their findings to their partner organisation.
This exciting module enables students to develop their knowledge through experiential learning, by working with one another and in partnership with a real business or organisation. Each student is able to develop their problem-solving skills, and can experience real-life strategic planning, commercial awareness, communication and team working.

Working with everyone involved throughout the duration of this project has been an absolute pleasure. From the outset, both the students and staff were fully engaged with the agreed brief, remained constantly committed to researching and understanding the subject, and we're actively involved in the regular seminars we held. This admirable level of commitment was reflected in the quality of the suggestions included in their final reports, with some of them even being sent to our product management team for further investigation. I would highly recommend this experience to any other organisation!
