Information for Industry Partners - MSc Projects The School of Mathematics runs MSc programmes in the areas of Statistics and Data Science, Financial Mathematics, Operational Research and Computational Applied Mathematics. A full list of programmes can be found here. A major part of each of these programmes is a dissertation based on students working full-time on a research project for between 10 and 12 weeks, commencing late May or early June. We are enthusiastic to offer our students the opportunity to work on their project with external partners. This gives companies access to talented MSc students and, because each project is under the joint supervision with a member of our School, this can provide a simple mechanism for organisations to start interacting with academia on research issues. During the event we will cover: General project information Benefits for your organisation and our students Project timeline and activities Responsibilities of supervisors and expectation of time commitment Specific project topic information MSc Programme Overviews Project examples including past projects Q&A and next steps Please register if you would like to attend: Registration Form Before the Session - How to Prepare You will need: Your link to the session. please note the link will not be live until 15 minutes prior to the session beginning.
