An innovative facility on campus - the iForge - is giving students the opportunity to collaborate, create and 'make' outside of their academic studies. Believed to the first of its kind in a UK university, the Forge is run by a team of ambitious Engineering students. Together, the iForge Reps train and supervise other student users, as well as procuring and maintaining equipment, developing links with alumni and industry, and running special events.

Since opening in the University's flagship Diamond building in November 2017, the iForge has proved to be so much more than an open-access workshop. Watch to see how it's become a hub for innovators and makers from across the University, and provided the student Reps with vital skills and experience which have helped them to achieve their career ambitions.
