Junior Apprentice

We are pleased to advise that we are rolling out a project aimed at schools and colleges for Year 9 upwards. Schools will be sent a pack containing all information, and the activity takes place within the school/college. Teams of up to 6 will be given a creative brief, asking them to design and market a new product (details will be given in pack). The finished project, with accompanying report will be sent back, and judged by University academics and local experts, with the winning teams invited back to the University to compete against each other in a final task. 

The inaugural year saw students being asked to design a new cereal brand, complete with design, marketing campaign and report. Please contact us if you would like to take part.
