Because many of our programmes require students to complete a major project or research study, we are always interested in receiving project titles from employers. In the past, we have received submissions from employers that have informed student projects and research studies. This initiative has proved extremely beneficial to the employer and student. The employer benefits by gaining insight into an topic of interest with little or no charge incurred and the student gains by getting access to a live research topic.
To find out more about submitting student project titles, please select the relevant discipline from the list below:
- Civil Engineering & Construction
- Computing & Creative Practices
- Mechanical & Electronic Engineering
- Business Studies
- Marketing, Tourism & Sport
- Life Sciences
