Student Projects | University of Strathclyde

Our student projects can address company challenges and can range from just a few days in length to months of student effort. Shorter projects are typically class assignments while the longer projects usually involve student dissertations. Co-designing a project allows us to align the organisational need and the educational outcomes of the student programme of study.

Our students can help organisations find solutions to a specific problem or can help support an ongoing project. Benefits for an organisation include:

Accessing skills and knowledge from emerging talent supported by academic staff
Engaging with potential future employees
Fresh perspectives and new ideas

A project can be undertaken by our undergraduate and postgraduate students with interests and knowledge in general business and management, such as the MBA & General Management and the Management Development Programme, as well as with specialist knowledge in our areas of scholarship:

Projects our students have engaged in with business have included:

A company looking for strategic options to leverage its debt and provide strategic direction for the future to retain its marketing position
Exploration of a restructuring strategy for a new collaborative partnership
A luxury chain of hotels exploring options for entry into Asian markets
The impact of technology on the customer experience across varied customer journeys
A small business looking to identify market opportunities
Tools to map systems change in mental health and wellbeing
Benchmarking and performance frameworks in police systems
