Start a business project with a master's student dissertation

Test out an idea or explore something that your business lacks the time or resource to look into. Pose a problem for one of our master's students to work on for a dissertation project.

Our students have delivered projects to:

• select the best machine learning model to identify credit risk
• optimise fluid management for intensive care patients in hospital
• understand the cost of aerospace parts design and procurement
• develop a piece of software to optimise the scheduling of coach drivers

Dissertation projects can often lead to larger pieces of work or form the basis of a PhD. Click here for further examples of MSC projects.
