Student Voices

This platform is the one thing that gave me real-life experience and the valuable experience I’ve gained in this process is just amazing.

Nika MManchester Met. University, MSc Digital Marketing

It was also beneficial in building my consultancy skills and learning how to communicate in a professional manner.

Abigail DUniversity of Manchester, MSc Management

It became a meaningful addition to my CV. I was able to apply what I had learned in class to practical work and deepen my understanding of the role while working on the project. Most importantly, it was a meaningful experience as it provided an opportunity that is not easily accessible to students.

Chaeyoung PUniversity of Leeds, UG Business Management

Was very excited to work with a company and apply the knowledge I had learnt, and that’s exactly what happened, the process was smooth well-managed and got the chance to use our knowledge to apply for a real world company.

Chirag GUniversity of Manchester, MSc Management

This collab with [the company] was really great for me as it allowed me to do it in a very consulting style
