Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of Stirling to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program are looking for projects that should increase their understanding of psychology in a work context. Because psychology graduates go into many different areas, it is very flexible.The undergraduate work placement program involves pairing an undergraduate placement student with a host organisation, under the supervision of a mentor from that organisation. Students are required to complete 50 hours of placement between October and April (when in that time the hours done are very flexible). Projects can be conducted in person or remotely, or a combination of the two. Projects can be completed by an individual student or a team of students.

Students from our Computing Science degrees undertake a summer placement in the third year of their degree. Student must undertake an 8-12 week placement at the end of their 3rd year, in which the student is asked to undertake a mini-project or job role within a company. Many students select placements where they will work on software engineering and development project involved with projects analysing, designing, implementing and/or evaluating solutions for a problem which the placement provider or one of its clients faces. Other placements such as in technical support and job roles are also feasible. Students will have gained skills across a varied curriculum in the first 3 years of their programme including Software Development, Systems Development, Developing Mobile Web Based Applications, Software Engineering, UX Design , Database Principles and Applications, Concurrent and Distributed Systems, Code Analysis and Performance, Computer Game Technologies and an introduction to Machine Learning.

The University of Stirling’s Consultancy Project offers a unique opportunity for employers to engage with business students who are eager to apply their academic knowledge to real-world business challenges. This course is an alternative to a traditional dissertation, focusing on independent study under expert supervision. Our 4th year Business Studies Undergraduate Students are equipped to handle complex problems, communicate across various stakeholders, and develop actionable recommendations. Students will have studied a varied business studies programme with topics including organisations, management, global and international business, sustainable business, entrepreneurship and strategic management.

This is a practical project that asks students to provide a digital strategy for an operational media enterprise or cultural organisation . Students are seeking out cultural organisations and creative and media companies that have started to adopt to the digital environment. In the majority of cases, digital plans will already in place. It is the job of the students to develop a strategy that differentiates from those in place and tell us what they can do better. This needs to be a plan utilising both strategic and theoretical frameworks discussed throughout the module as well as their own research into the organisation.
