Join us to watch the final presentations from the Department of War Studies’ ‘Hacking Defence Problems’ module.

Hacking Defence Problems is an interdisciplinary and entrepreneurial module that provides students the opportunity to work with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to better address the nation’s emerging threats and security challenges.

Through the collaborative effort between Common Mission Project and the Ministry of Defence, this module gives student teams the opportunity to work alongside a MOD Problem Sponsor and Industry Mentor to apply the Lean Start-up methodology to their real-world problem. Students will present their team's efforts to gain an in-depth understanding of the problem and to develop and validate a solution.

You can attend either in person or online. If joining us in person, please be sure to reserve your place as soon as possible as places are limited. Please also arrive 15 minutes early to get checked in and be seated for 18:30. For those joining online, there will be a MS Teams link in the invite.
