Postgraduate business applied projects: industry partner information

Provide students with a real-life business case and share an issue your industry is facing through our postgraduate applied business projects.

These projects are at the core of our applied postgraduate programmes, and our students are excited and motivated to collaborate with industry professionals on real-life business challenges. You could work with students in management, marketing and supply chain management, and draw on their strategy development, project management, communication and consulting skills.

How it works

1. Participating businesses present a specific problem or challenge to the students
2. Students work individually to address the identified issue, employing appropriate methods to analyse the problem and develop recommendations
3. Each student produces a comprehensive report, highlighting their findings, insights, and actionable recommendations

What you can expect

• Foundation meeting: We meet with you to discuss the project's learning outcomes, students' capabilities, and the required information and resources
• Initial class appearance: Present to the students, sharing key aspects of your business/industry, as well as the challenges, problems and opportunities you face
• Second class appearance: A Q&A session may be scheduled depending on the project. Students can submit questions in advance, and you can provide live answers or prepare responses beforehand
• Final class appearance: After internal evaluation, the top-performing students present their findings and recommendations to you in a class forum

Time commitment required

As a business professional, your time commitment is approximately 4 to 5 hours, including class visits across a 12-week timeframe.
