Postgraduate student consultancy projects
In brief26 January 2010
Whether you are a WBS student or member of staff, or someone from outside the University of Warwick altogether, you may be currently working for or know of a business that needs help with a specific project, or a short-term job that needs completing over the summer. If so, read on!
Postgraduate student projects are of great benefit to businesses. For the organisation providing the project they can be a way of helping to solve a particular problem, carrying out specific research, or dealing with a short-term project. They can also result in finding the ideal new recruit.
The next Project Sponsor's Evening at Warwick Business School is on Wednesday 3rd February. It provides an opportunity to find out how WBS Specialist Masters and MBA students can make a difference to an organisation through a WBS consultancy project.
Examples of how projects can help include:
- Finding solutions to challenges facing an organisation which doesn't have time to tackle the problem
- Providing access to a specialist set of skills without having to pay consultant level fees
- Finding out about the latest theories and practices which could benefit the organisation
- Getting a fresh perspective on the aspects and issues around the business.
Every year, WBS postgraduate students undertake targeted project work to deliver practical, professional solutions to organisations all over the world.
The evening event on 3rd February, from 5pm onwards, gives the opportunity for businesses from all sectors to talk with previous project sponsors and ask questions, and to meet the programme teams and leading academics, while networking with fellow attendees over a buffet supper.
Registration for this free event is through this link.
