Posted on 6th July 2021 By Billy Langsworthy

Brunel University is looking to collaborate with toy firms on projects for its design students.

“Collaborative student projects add considerable value to a student’s education and companies can benefit from gaining fresh ideas,” said Brunel’s Dr Eujin Pei.

“We’re keen to work with companies for the new academic year. These could be a short design challenge lasting across a few days, to a more ambitious product-driven projects lasting across several weeks.”

Companies interested in working with design students at Brunel should email Eujin at eujin.pei@brunel.ac.uk.
