Individual Project

The aim of the individual project is to apply the insights you´ve gained throughout the Masters programme to your working environment. You will deliver your final project as a dissertation.

Taking this course has been a personal learning journey. I now approach my work with more confidence and look at the world with fresh eyes. The interdisciplinary nature of the course provides a lively and creative climate for study, useful frameworks and novel connections. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to bring about change - in whatever form that takes.
