On 26 June, an important event took place in the lives of the students of Digital Campus Bordeaux: the presentation of the "flagship projects, 2013 edition".
A grand gathering that brought to a close a year of intense work, across all levels, on projects entrusted to the students by local companies. A highlight of this programme is the "micro-agency" model, which is set up at the same time as the teams. A deep dive into the heart of the professional world. A meaningful journey: from taking the brief to presenting the projects. The spotlight is on the projects that made our students of the Web Project Manager Bachelor's programme - three years of higher education tick… and the heart of an entire school beat, because at Digital Campus, the internet school of Bordeaux, team spirit is undeniably present.
Flagship projects, or the transformation of students into professionals
Understanding the client, meeting their expectations, respecting deadlines and budgets, being heeded for your know-how and expertise, having a broad knowledge of the field and being innovative: this requires rubbing shoulders with the best and being fully immersed at all times. Only a teaching approach based on the delivery of real projects brought by real clients can make this acceleration of training possible. This is what the flagship projects are all about.
A schedule worthy of the big agencies
June 2012 to September 2012: Digital Campus Bordeaux receives and analyses a number of projects submitted by companies, institutions and associations.
End of September 2012: Selection of the projects by the management.
