From data analysis to a decision: what to check before taking action

20 October 2026

A data-driven decision uses analysed information to compare alternatives or justify a course of action, but does not in itself eliminate uncertainty. Having well-organised records, dashboards or numerical estimates does not guarantee that a course of action will solve the anticipated problem, nor that its costs will be outweighed by the expected benefits. Before turning a result into a recommendation, it is worth asking the following question: what makes a data analysis sufficiently reliable and relevant to justify a decision?

How to tell if a creative or tech career is right for you: take a look at the work that goes into it

30 September 2026

To find out whether a degree course is right for you, it is not enough simply to ask yourself whether you like the outcomes. It’s worth finding out which tasks recur during your studies and in your work, what difficulties are part of the process, what problems arise in the curriculum, and what projects you’ll need to learn to tackle. Making a better choice means replacing an idealised image of the profession with evidence that’s closer to how the work is actually done.

What goes on behind the scenes: software, data and artificial intelligence within a digital product

25 September 2026

A simple function within an app may depend on dozens of invisible components. The software receives an action and executes logic; the data reveals what is happening and what happened previously; and, when the problem requires predicting, classifying, recommending or generating a response, an artificial intelligence model may come into play. Understanding a digital product requires distinguishing between these layers and, above all, understanding how they depend on one another.

Learning by doing in design and technology: from the initial idea to a solution you can defend

4 September 2026

Learning by doing does not mean replacing theory with projects. In Design and Technology, it means turning an idea into something that can be observed and tested, gathering information about its shortcomings, revising decisions and explaining why changes have been made. Learning takes place within this cycle of action, evidence, feedback and iteration, not solely in the final outcome.

If you’re interested in both design and technology, you don’t need to choose between creativity and technique, but rather to identify the type of problem you want to tackle. Disciplines such as Fashion, Interior Design, Product Design and UX, Visual Communication, Animation, Video Games, and Data Science and AI apply varying degrees of both tools depending on whether they focus on the body, space, use, meaning, time or systems.

How to use AI to study without stopping yourself from thinking: five checks to carry out before accepting an answer

24 July 2026

Using artificial intelligence to study can help you understand, practise and revise, but first you must check whether it is permitted, make an initial effort yourself, decide what role it will play, verify its answers and retain ownership of the process. Citing the tool does not replace the need for permission, nor does it automatically make its content a reliable source.
