Innovating Digital and Technology Education with the University of Portsmouth

Together, we’ve achieved several key milestones – from co-designing new programmes with industry partners to reviewing and refining curricula to ensure alignment with evolving market needs. One of our proudest achievements has been the introduction of real-life case studies, presented by global CEOs, as an alternative to the traditional MSc thesis. This innovative approach provides students with practical, workforce-ready experiences that accelerate their understanding of digital transformation and enhance their employability – while also reducing the need for extensive training once they enter the job market.
