You will learn key employability skills including communication, creative problem-solving and collaborative work practice. You’ll also learn to be mindful of environmental impact and sustainability by anticipating different scenarios and predicting the consequences of current actions.
The content of this course has been overseen by an advisory board made up of renowned industry practitioners. This approach ensures that you’ll graduate aligned with industry aspirations.
You’ll complete at least 80 hours of relevant work experience before graduating.
