- computer science students developing an information system for clients such as London Zoo;
- journalism students producing a campus newspaper;
- architecture students working on a 'Space for Waste' project, which led to a flagship recycling initiative;
- art and design students producing publicity materials for a new gallery in Kingston; and
- business students setting up their own company (read their case study to find out more).

- authors Maggie Gee, Liz Jensen and Mike Gayle;
- business experts Patrick Harris, director of thoughtengine; and
