| Not a means of mass publicity, but one
or two or a group of students working on a project for you will soon get
around on the grapevine and help you to get to know our academic staff
better. The benefits to the company of supporting project work include
value for money, profile raising amongst and assessment of potential employees,
access to and assessment of our expertise etc. For the student the
main benefit is increased marketability through the experience of addressing
a real problem. The elements of support common to all kinds of projects
are provision of a specification and any essential equipment that we do
not have in house. Beyond that, the need for allocation of a budget,
second supervisor, for example, depends on the type of project .
As a general guide, specifications must be submitted about two months before
the project is due to start. All projects culminate in reports, which
are presented to the supporting company and staff, and other students as
appropriate.
