Students work in small groups to undertake a 16-week research project under the supervision of a University tutor and an industry sponsor. The goal of the project is to solve or advance solutions for real-world scientific and business problems. Typically, the problem will be set by a sponsor from industry, social enterprise or other who may also input to update meetings and the final assessment. An academic from the department will act as an advisor and will be responsible for assessment and overseeing the project. Project will be based off-campus depending on the nature of project and sponsor.
Restricted Entry: Third year grades, a written statement of interest and an interview may be used to allocate a limited number of Sandbox projects. Biology department will oversee allocation. Places available for students from Business or other departments are allocated subject to the approval of the Head of the appropriate Department (eg Business).
