Design a web or mobile app

Got an idea for a web or mobile app that could improve the student experience? Enter the Student Led Innovation competition and turn your idea into reality!

The winning team will be awarded £5000 to turn their idea into a prototype this summer. We'll sort out office space for your team, and you'll be given plenty of freedom to work away. Student Systems and Information Systems will provide support, but ultimately it's your project.

This is a great opportunity to develop new skills, work on real-life problems, and provide a valuable application for your fellow students.
