Best wishes to our students as they head out to their training placements around the globe! We look forward to hearing from the Class of 2026 throughout the year in our Student Blog series, and again when they return to Winterthur for their final presentations. We will also catch up with the Class of 2027’s activities during their Student Summer Work Project talks this autumn.
