Student projects

Tap into the energy and fresh perspectives of our students by working with us on a student project with a brief designed around your needs.

Focusing on your particular issue or area that needs attention, our students can deliver a new resource, insight and recommendations for practical action. This can be in anything from strategy and business planning to marketing analytics, opportunities in new technologies and project management. Our students range from current undergraduates to experienced MBA participants, each with unique benefits to offer your organisation.

Each year, we run more than 200 projects in collaboration with a range of local enterprises, charities, community interest organisations, and national and global brands.

If you have an idea for a project or would like further information, email us at studentprojects@lancaster.ac.uk or fill in our online enquiry form.
