- Communication
- Project Management
- Leadership
- Innovation
- Research
Recognition for taking part
Upon successful completion of the project there will be recognition for all, even if your group doesn’t win a prize:
- Enhanced transcript
- Digital certificate
- Personal Skills Award (PSA) – 70 points
- Prizes (one winning group per Theme will be selected by our judging panels to win a prize)
N.B. Participants must attend the full programme to be eligible for recognition and a prize. PSA points can only be claimed by students completing The Birmingham Project from 2017/18 onwards.
