This module provides the opportunity for those from various subject disciplines to work collaboratively. You work together in multidisciplinary teams throughout the module to address the requirements of short project briefs, taking on leadership and supportive roles within your groups as required. You explore and develop your skills in relation to project management, pitching, team working, negotiation, time management, collective and individual decision making, and communication. While it is likely that you will bring subject discipline-specific skills to deploy within this module, you are also expected to examine and apply wider skill sets to help their group realise the short project outcomes. Projects will be aligned with industry partners and will explore topics such as sustainability, supporting the community, and inclusion, with each project set in the context of real-world outcomes and expectations.
