The PrintCity Blog

Our students are the lifeblood of our MSc Industrial Digitalisation course and PrintCity. Their varied backgrounds bring a rich, diverse mix of perspectives to the work that we do.

In the PrintCity blog, we strongly promote and support engagement with the ‘real world’ of business. Our blog posts capture their experiences in an informal way, including social outings, which strengthen their working relationship by undertaking activities that require teamwork.
