MSc Student Projects with Industry Partners

Student Projects: Astrazeneca MSc Project Profile

The MSc project is a vital component of all MSc programmes here at Manchester. Each year we have a number of projects that are sourced from industry partners who work in partnership with academic supervisors to support MSc students in the completion of their project. Such partnerships represent a unique opportunity for companies to raise their profile with the next generation of computer scientists whilst securing resource for business critical projects.

If you are interested in providing MSc project proposals we would be delighted to discuss things with you in further detail.

The linked pdf outlines some general information about our process and expectations.

Whilst projects are completed to the timescales set our below, we are keen to hear from companies at all times of year.
