Project collaboration is a collaboration between one or more students and your company. Together you outline a problem on which your company would like a report and in an area where the student possesses relevant knowledge and tools. This translates into useful knowledge – directly accessible by your company.

The collaboration will normally involve information gathering, where the student, e.g., conducts interviews or reviews documents and other information from you company. This information is then analysed and utilised in relation to the problem statement.
A collaboration can also involve closer interaction with the company, where the student carries out activities together with the company's employees.

The scope of the collaboration can vary from simple interviews to various types of joint activities and reporting. The duration of a project can vary from a single day to a six-month thesis project.

If you need advice on collaborating with a student, please contact the the Career Centre. We would be more than happy to talk to you about your needs.

You can advertise for students in connection with a specific problem in the project section of the AU Job and Project Bank.
