Overview

You will study a broad range of historic cultures and societies and have opportunities to explore life in the past from the medieval world to the modern day.

Small-group seminar teaching, supported by lectures and workshops, facilitates student discussion and debate.

Key facts

Group work is a core component of teaching and learning in innovation. You will come together with students from other innovation disciplines, such as theatre, finance and electrical and electronic engineering. Each subject contributes a different perspective on a challenge as you identify needs and develop ideas. By drawing on your unique ideas and views on the world, you will learn from your subject and other students to develop innovative solutions together. You will also develop personal skills with opportunities for individual development and pursuit of topics and projects driven by your own interests and values.

By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of products and services and how to sustain new endeavours including through financing. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you through your studies.
