“The first week is an entrepreneurship and innovation course and this covers design thinking, business planning and testing. It is a brilliant curriculum for those who don’t know much about business but would like to learn, and it’s taught really interactively and visually so suited to all kinds of learning/backgrounds, and not just business students! It has benefited me greatly, especially as I want to start my own business with (hopefully) my own product after final year”.  (Loughborough Product Design student)
