OPTIONAL GUIDED PROJECTS

Practise a skill. Produce work you can discuss.

Projects complement mentoring. Most take 5–10 hours and produce a meaningful output, with a manageable brief and feedback from an alumni mentor.

A challenge worth exploring

Practice Briefs use public information. Live Industry Briefs address current sector questions. Company Projects bring an organisation’s authorised challenge.

AI assistance. Mentor judgement.

AI suggests ideas and drafts briefs around the student’s goals and mentor’s expertise. Mentors edit the tasks, output and scope before sharing.

Experience students can explain

Use a presentation, analysis or prototype in CVs, portfolios and interviews. Explain your contribution with mentor feedback.

OPTIONAL INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

A clear brief. Useful feedback.

  1. Practice Brief

    Explore a realistic professional challenge using public information. For example, analyse fintech customer reviews and recommend product opportunities.

  2. Live Industry Brief

    Investigate a current industry question guided by a mentor’s expertise. It is not automatically sponsored by the mentor’s employer.

  3. Company Project

    Work on an organisation’s authorised challenge. The mentor must confirm permission; otherwise they can reshape the idea into an industry or practice brief.

  4. Support for creating a good brief

    AI helps mentors suggest ideas and structure editable briefs. Mentors check scope, learning value, data use and suitability before sharing.

  5. Complete and submit

    Use a task checklist and submit a file, link or written output in your mentoring workspace. Projects focus on research, analysis, concepts and recommendations rather than replacing operational work.

  6. Receive professional feedback

    Your mentor reviews the deliverable, records demonstrated skills and confirms completion. Use the experience in your CV, portfolio or interviews without overstating company endorsement.
