Design Thinking | BA Government 3rd year student
This module was an unexpected gem - I really learned a lot. I now know how to approach working on a design thinking project. I enjoyed breaking out of my sector and working with students from different disciplines. I was amazed with the ideas we all came up with.
Idea to Impact | Biomedical Engineering PhD Student
It was engaging, concise, and well-paced, with each day feeling productive rather than stretched out. The hands-on prototype building was especially valuable and added a practical, interactive element that made the experience even more enjoyable.
