Description Voluntary student-led projects provide many benefits to students including improved on-campus experience and the expansion of peer, academic and professional networks alongside extra-curricular opportunities for skills development. Students working on these projects will develop their professional skills to match the expectations of partners, stakeholders, and team-mates who they are working alongside. This subject will support the development of professional skills among students who have demonstrated a significant commitment to a recognised student-led project which will contribute to their career development.
