The Career Lab: Student Consultancy Programme offers our valued partners the opportunity to explore a live challenge faced by your organisation whilst providing meaningful work experience to a small group of students. Students spend a combined 100 hours on a project brief set by you (the client) and provide a business-style presentation to showcase their findings.There is no financial obligation, the research can be carried out remotely, and the time commitment is very low. Priority will be given to projects that work towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.Further information, including testimonials, project ideas and template briefs, is available at: Student Consultancy Programme - Information for Organisations 2023. The Summer programme takes place from 5 - 16 June 2023.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from MSc Management at the University of Sussex Business School to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. The Consultancy Project is an optional module offered only on the course MSc Management. It aims to provide students who are interested in undertaking a different type of dissertation with the opportunity of being involved in addressing a request raised by a real business/ organisation. From this perspective, the Consultancy Project is similar to a project prepared by consultants when addressing a client request. Students will work on one main project over three months, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students will work in teams under close supervision.
