Budding designers at Bradford College are gaining invaluable industry experience as they respond to a live brief set by a leading international employer, challenging them to develop real-world product concepts that meet global market needs.
The exciting collaboration is part of the College’s ongoing commitment to providing hands-on learning that prepares students for dynamic careers in design and innovation.

I look forward to collaborating with the college on many more projects in the future.”- Shazad Talib, CEO of Zanco
