Students are sometimes required to undertake an in-course project as part of their degree. These projects, which may be independent or as part of a group, provide students with the opportunity to work on a consultancy project for a business.
Past projects include:
- Market research
- Filling a skill shortage
- Supplying expertise
- Researching new products
- Reviewing existing systems
Students prepare a report and presentation for the business which they can then use for their own academic requirements.
Speak to your tutor about whether an in-course project is offered as part of your degree. It's also possible that any consultancy work could be used as part of your academic coursework requirements.
