Q: What will I be doing day-to-day?
Each week will include a masterclass focused on specific skills development around the digital design process, some time for self-directed work as you apply your learnings to your project, and a playback session where you will get feedback on your work.
You will be collaborating with the rest of the cohort to respond to an industry brief set by a real-life client, working towards a showcase in the final week where you will present your digital product.
Q: What will I learn?
The curriculum is divided into three phases of the digital design process:
1. The Problem Phase:
- How do I understand the people I am designing for?
- How do I turn insights into product ideas?
- How do I know which product concept will be most valuable? (for users and businesses)
2. The Product Phase:
- How do I keep developing a truly user-centred product?
- How do I make my product concepts real?
- How do I assess if my product Is working?
3. The Pitch Phase:
- How do I understand the audience for the pitch?
- How do I make my product proposition as impactful as possible?
- How do I assess if my presentation Is working?
Q: How do I know this is for me?
There are a few requirements that you have to meet to be considered - please read through the eligibility section on the main opportunity page. Other than that, we are looking for creative problem solvers with a proven interest in the digital sector, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and get stuck in.
Q: Will the course take place online or in real life?
We are currently planning for a blended approach to delivery with a combination of real-life sessions hosted by digital agencies in London and online sessions. Your £500 bursary is intended to cover any travel costs you'll have.
