Guided student consultancy

Have you ever asked a group of international university students to help you solve your business challenge? Guided student consultancy (Business research & consultancy) offers your company a unique opportunity to use the fresh perspectives and innovative thinking of our talented economics and business students. By presenting a specific challenge or project to our students, you will receive tailored, actionable solutions, delivered in just 10 to 15 weeks.

This is not an internship or graduation project, but a thorough consultancy project designed to add real value to your business.The research is conducted independently within the university. The students are supervised by academics and by experts in the field and maintaining regular contact with your company to ensure the solutions align with your needs.

We ask for a company contribution to cover the costs of this labor-intensive consultancy service. Your company may be eligible for grants, such as the SME grant, to help offset these expenses.
