Take part in a real world challenge with this four day programme.

Tuesday 27 - Friday 30 May 2025 (9:00am-4:30pm each day). NB: This is after exams.

Through this exciting four-day, full-time programme, students will gain a different type of work experience by providing a consultancy service to real clients and working on a real challenge that those clients face. You will work in a project team with other students from different disciplines and will be facilitated through a Design Thinking process to resolve the client’s problem.

This is a great first step for students with no/limited work experience to add to their CV and a precious opportunity to develop highly valued Design Thinking skills before undertaking a placement, internship or graduate job.

The programme provides practical experience for developing the following Future-Ready Skills: 

  • Interpersonal Skills,
