Offer a project
If your organisation has a business problem or challenge, offering a project to a student or graduate can be a great way to find a solution. You can harness fresh ideas and enthusiasm and benefit from discipline-specific knowledge and expertise that might not otherwise be available to you.
You can employ a student or graduate to work on your project for anything from a few days to a year or more. Students can also undertake projects as part of their course, guided by the University, at certain times of the year.
Projects can be aimed at undergraduate or postgraduate students and those with subject-specific knowledge, if appropriate.
We can advise you on the most suitable solution, depending on your needs, ensuring that your project is pitched at the right level.
If you have a project in mind, submit a brief outline using our Project Proposal Form.
