A key priority for Dr Wilde and her team is to ensure that students gain meaningful, hands-on experience by working on real industry challenges alongside their academic studies. The team is committed to strengthening partnerships with businesses and enhancing the student experience by creating high-quality opportunities for engagement and collaboration.

Building on this commitment, Dr Wilde has partnered with Tata Global Internships (TGI), to design two bespoke Industry Impact Projects (IIPs) exclusively for WMG students on the International Trade, Strategy and Operations (ITSO)Link opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window and Supply Chain and Logistics ManagementLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window (SCLM) Master’s programmes.

The ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ has been named Motorsport Valley's first STEM Racing Centre of Excellence in a new partnership with , Maaden and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Teamâ„¢, announced at the Aston Martin Technology Campus (AMRTC) on 1 July.

Opening in the upcoming academic year, the Centre of Excellence will serve as an open-access engineering hub, providing neighbouring schools and students with opportunities to develop practical skills in computer-aided design (CAD), CNC machining and aerodynamic testing using industry-standard equipment.

It has been another exciting month at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ, marked by international visitors from India, Azerbaijan and the United States, alongside key strategic visits to India and China.
