Projects will require students to clarify the scope of work with you, gather and analyse relevant information, develop, test and refine possible solutions and present their findings and recommendations back to you.

Clients and students experience the most success when a project meets the following criteria:

  • There is no planned solution to address the problem
  • Fits within the 1 to 10-week timeframe
  • Equates to project working hours per group (average 400-650 hours (MBA), 300-360 hours (MiM & MAM), or up to 48 hours (MFA) per group)
  • The client provides access to key data, stakeholders and information at the beginning of the project
  • Is cross-functional and has sufficient scope to allow the project team to apply a range of programme learnings and professional experience.
