Student Profiles

Our students are the lifeblood of the University and PrintCity. They come from a wide range of academic disciplines, including animation, business, dental technology, engineering, fashion, product design and textiles. Every week, they are actively involved in and lead ‘round-table’ discussions in which they examine aspects of Industry 4.0 to stay up-to-date with this rapidly changing area.

The profiles below are written by a mixture of current and previous cohorts and detail each of their experiences, practice and future career aspirations.
