Project X

MED2002
Project X provides the opportunity for a student to complete an internship with an industry partner, spend a semester studying abroad at a partner university or engage in an interdisciplinary project within the university.

The Project X course is designed to expose the student to the dynamics of the industry or the wider academic community. Each student will be supported by a designated mentor from the academic team here in Nord. Project X provides the opportunity for a student to spend a semester studying abroad at a partner university, develop their own work in a specialised subject area, or engage in an interdisciplinary project within the university.

Having the opportunity to engage with the wider international community, rich with cultural diversity, is a very valuable preparatory mechanism promoting interdisciplinarity, employability and transition into a future career. For those students who choose to remain on campus, there are many opportunities to get an ‘international from home’ experience through interdisciplinary research, student-led projects or in collaboration with our extended network of industry professionals.
