Design Enterprise Studio

Creative technology student consultancies for local organisations

Creative and technical solutions for digital engagement

The Design Enterprise Studio is a student consultancy project that offers local organisations free consultancy in exchange for connecting with a final year undergraduate student or student project team.

Client organisations benefit from free consultancy in one of the following areas: user experience (UX) design, web design/development, visual branding, social media strategies, mobile application design, data visualization or digital media design.

For students, the Design Enterprise Studio provides an opportunity to contribute to real-life projects, and to apply developmental and design processes to a practical scenario and in near-professional capacity.

Further details

The Design Enterprise Studio can engage with small or large organisations.

  • Students work on consultancy projects for up to a day per week between late October and March.
  • We welcome a wide range of projects in the creative technologies.
  • We can discuss and scale the length of each project appropriately.
  • Only a small number of projects can be run per academic year, so a selection process is involved.
