Level 6 Professional Project
Our Level 6 students have reached a significant milestone in their academic journey through the Professional Project module. It has been fantastic to hear students speak so passionately about their areas of interest and how their ideas could help address real, people-focused and industry-specific challenges. Their projects reflect creativity, critical thinking and a strong connection to professional practice.

Careers, Employment and Success Hub
This month we celebrated the opening of the newly refurbished Careers, Employment and Success Hub – a collaborative space to share ideas, explore opportunities and meet employability experts.
Did you know that careers support is not just for current students? Graduates and alumni benefit from lifetime careers guidance.
