Industry-sponsored Group Project
The third-year group projects in Bioengineering are sponsored by industry partners.
In these projects, students will form groups of 5 to 7 members to work on ideas presented by the industry partners. We would provide project-relevant academic advisors, access to the laboratory, and technician support.
This is an ideal point for industry to engage with our students. Year 3 students are imminently entering the job market. We have had students enter internships the summer immediately following the project and obtain offers of full-time positions a year later.
This is also an excellent way to engage with our world-leading academics. Each project will be supervised by an academic from our department and will have access to their laboratory. Many of these projects have led to follow-on student projects and larger research contracts and centres of excellence.
We have had projects sponsored by Meta, P&G, Convatec, and more.
