Making Ideas Happen (MIH), our 20-credit taught module, is open to undergraduate students at Levels 2 (USE201) and 3 (USE301), from any subject discipline.
Whatever your degree subject, and whatever career path you choose to walk, you will find yourself in a situation where you will have to generate ideas and see them through to fruition. MIH will allow you to develop entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial skills while working in interdisciplinary project teams to generate social enterprise solutions to ‘real-world’ problems.
When you enter a job – or become self-employed – you won’t just be working with others from the same background as you. This module gives you the opportunity to set yourself apart from those around you who have yet to gain such experience. MIH students from 2010-11 have applied their learning and skills from the module to their own discipline in many different ways – examples include reduced performance anxiety among Music students after having taking part in the elevator pitch exercise, and the use of tools and techniques from the business world applied to the analysis of literary or philosophical texts.
If you know that this is the module for you and you have 20 credits available for unrestricted modules, add it as one your module choices. USE201 and USE 301 can be found in the University’s Directory of Modules, and are both available in either the Autumn or Spring semesters.

Students wishing to take MIH this coming academic year can sign up using online module choice in the normal way. You can choose to take the module in either the Autumn or Spring semester, giving you the flexibility to fit MIH in with the rest of your degree programme.
Once Online Module Choice has finished, you can still register for MIH during the Add/Drop period each semester, by “adding” either USE 201 or USE301 and “dropping” another module.
