Industry partnerships

Curriculum-embedded live projects connect external organisations with students and staff around meaningful creative briefs.

Partners gain access to new perspectives and specialist creative thinking, while students gain experience responding to real organisational challenges.

Work placements

Placements give students structured experience in professional settings while helping organisations benefit from new perspectives and skills.

We work with partners to shape a placement that is useful, supported and appropriate for both the student and the organisation.
