Host a Student Industry Project
Student Industry Projects are created in collaboration with industry supervisors and an academic supervisor from the University. Organisations can work with an individual student or a small group, for either one or two academic semesters, depending on the project.
Your organisation is able to oversee the project, and when complete, you can apply the design and research to your organisation. Projects can take place on-site at your location, at the University with your regular input, or a combination of both. Projects will be showcased in October at the Endeavour Exhibition.
