Collaborating with industry

As part of tackling ‘live’ projects, you’ll learn from experienced industry experts who will work with our tutors to help you develop the skills and experience you need to succeed in the workplace.

Regular industry interaction

You’ll be engaging with industry experts in a professional capacity from the very start of your programme. Meeting them during projects and masterclasses, rather than relying solely on internships or placements, will give you the opportunity to build your professional network and find out more about sectors you may want to work in when you graduate.
Build a project portfolio

Build a project portfolio

Many of your projects will involve working in small teams to deliver a concept solution to a real client partner. Together, you’ll be responsible for managing the project from end-to-end, including research, identifying a problem, and presenting your solution.

This allows you to build a portfolio of project experience and delivery, to present, reference and discuss at job interviews – helping you to stand out in the job market.

The industry is changing fast, and having the ability to adapt to change is crucial, and our degree will help you prepare for this.

Additional development opportunities

Professional student membership: For our engineering degrees, we’re an affiliate organisation of the Institute of Engineering & Technology (IET) and the Institute of Engineering Designers (IED) which gives ASU London students membership and access to their related events and wider resources.

We’re working towards accreditations for our business and computing degrees.

You’ll be regularly signposted to internship opportunities and every student is given free access to ‘Handshake’, a career development platform which allows students and graduates to discover employers and job opportunities, submit applications, and attend careers events.
