What gets built

Every project, with what it is assessed on

20 briefs from the two published syllabi: 5 capstones and 15 module projects. These are the actual assignments, with the deliverables each one is marked against. Not examples of the kind of thing you might build.

The briefs

The four tracks whose syllabi are still being written have no projects here yet, because they have not been set. When a syllabus is published its projects appear on this page automatically.
