ENliststudents collaborting

Are you an alumnus of ENU looking to expand your business, enter new markets, or innovate and develop but need extra resources to do so? Edinburgh Napier’s students can help!

Submit a project brief and a group of third year Business School students will find a solution to your business challenge while gaining vital work experience in the process. At the end of the project the students will present their findings and recommendations to you.

The deadline for project proposals is Friday, 13 December 2024. The final report will be presented in April 2025.

Requirements


The project should be:
• real-world based
• a challenge to be addressed or,
• a problem you need to solve or,
• a business opportunity you are evaluating

How it will be done

The project will be carried out for you on a consultancy basis by a team of third-year undergraduate students from our Business, Marketing, Hospitality, Tourism and Festival and Events Management degree programmes. They work from the University, not within your business, and will present their findings and recommendations through a comprehensive report presented at a virtual meeting. In certain projects, we can also engage with Masters students, who may work autonomously. 

Your rolestudents collaborating

With the support of a designated contact at The Business School, you will discuss your project requirements, and formalise details to match students appropriately.

You will collaborate with your group of students for the duration of the project to ensure the objectives, aim and rationale are met.

You will be expected to attend the students' presentation and to provide formal feedback on the students’ submission.

Projects timeline

  • Project submissions should be received by 31 October
  • Students will be allocated projects mid January and meet with business partner shortly after
  • Projects will run from mid January to end April
  • Reports will be presented end April

How we help

Our team will advertise your opportunity to students and will liaise with you on all aspects of the team selection and process, before and during the project as required. 

Our students are intelligent, highly motivated, enthusiastic and are eager to develop their skills and knowledge. They will bring innovative new ideas to your organisation to meet the needs of your business. So, benefit your business and bring work-related learning to help our students succeed beyond university.
