What is an industry project?

An industry project gives your organisation the opportunity to present students with a real-world business problem or challenge.

Students in the second year of their degree will work on the project and provide a fresh perspective and solutions to the business problems you have presented them. Not only will your business benefit from these potential solutions, the project will also will give students invaluable experience.

Examples of previous projects include:

Rebranding a marketing agency and designing a new logo
PR campaign to help Kent Wildlife Trust change visitors' behaviour when visiting their woodlands with dogs
A research piece commissioned by Kent Vineyards to increase tourism to all Kentish vineyards

How Does it Work?

Propose a project – Share a challenge, activity, or business problem that fits your current needs. We accept projects all year round.
Define scope and outcomes – Agree on deliverables and timelines with our academic team.
Engage with students – Provide input and feedback as students work on solutions. Students will work on the project between January and May in their second year of study
Review project outputs – Students present their final deliverables and recommendations to you.
