Group projects provided our researchers with the experience of working as a team of consultants to provide a solution to a client (typically one of our partners) for a real-world industry challenge.

All our researchers experienced two group projects during the first year of their studies. The 12-week projects were put forward by companies (large or SMEs) and our researchers gathered in teams to work as 'consultants' for that project, having to juggle client (the company), project and a budget.

The projects provided our researchers with experience in project management, team working, communication and having to manage competing priorities; the company proposing the project benefitted by gaining new ideas, a fresh perspective to a technical issue and expert support to tackle a problem within a defined timeframe.
