Student consultancy projects

Bring fresh ideas, expertise and new perspectives to your organisation by working with our talented students on a real-world consultancy project.

How student consultancy works

Host an undergraduate or postgraduate student, or a small group of students, to work with your organisation on a strategic or business challenge. You’ll gain fresh thinking and access to emerging talent, while students build valuable experience by applying their knowledge to real-world challenges.

Your organisation gains:

  • Fresh perspectives and new ideas from talented undergraduate and postgraduate students.
  • Access to emerging talent and specialist knowledge across areas including business, creative technologies, architecture and cyber security.
  • A fresh approach to a strategic or business challenge, with students bringing their academic knowledge and different perspectives to your organisation.
  • A valuable partnership with UWE Bristol, connecting your organisation with the university and its future talent.

Students gain:

  • Real-world experience working with a local organisation on a genuine strategic or business challenge.
  • The opportunity to apply their academic knowledge in a professional environment.
  • Valuable professional skills, including communication, collaboration, problem-solving and project management.
  • The chance to make a positive contribution to an organisation and the local community.
