Looking to elevate your organization and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of Aberdeen to be your student-consultants, problem-solvers, data analysts and solution providers in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Our students are participants in a work-based placement elective, which offers a professional placement with a civic, government, industrial, public, research or voluntary health and/or development sector organisation. They will undertake a ten-week placement with the host organisation, either within the organization, remotely from Aberdeen, or using a combination of both.
