The Department of Physics at the University of Liverpool's Faculty of Science & Engineering are seeking proposals of authentic, research-based industrial projects for final-year students to complete over a six-week period during the first semester of the 2021-22 academic year.

Students will each be expected to contribute approximately 18 hours of time to their projects, whilst collaborating in groups of five students. Projects should be suitable for students to both draw upon & develop transferrable and professional skills. Ideally, project proposals will be from organisations operating in - or with an interest in - chemistry/science, but the projects themselves will not be chemistry/science projects.

As an initiative taking place within the students' academic curriculum, these projects will be a key priority for the students - students who are likely to be particularly engaged, with many having missed out on recent experiential opportunities due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

All students at the University of Liverpool are encouraged to make connections & build networks, with a view to enhancing their employability and ultimately getting hired by their graduate recruiters of choice. Engagement with an experiential curricular activity such as this Department of Chemistry group-projects initiative gives you be opportunity to be one of those connections within students' & graduates' networks, to raise profile of your organisation & opportunities, and to access an ambitious, diverse, & enthusiastic talent pool of final-year students.
