Looking to elevate your organization and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of Aberdeen to be your student-consultants, problem-solvers, data analysts and solution providers in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Our students are participants in a work-based placement elective, which offers a professional placement with a civic, government, industrial, public, research or voluntary health and/or development sector organisation. They will undertake a ten-week placement with the host organisation, either within the organization, remotely from Aberdeen, or using a combination of both.

This experience has been incredible. The commitment to the depth, passion and detail of the work produced by the researchers has been truly wonderful. I set some challenging skills based tasks and all of them were more than achieved. In my research about mental health influencers and a global map of world approaches to mental health support an extraordinary conversation and level of insight emerged around the concept of sustainable humans and how cultures create a dependency dynamic versus and empowerment dynamic of wellbeing. This project has developed a tremendously useful body of resources and seeds for further inquiry for my business. I'm very thankful for the team and their openness to the research and their commitment to acting as a focus group themselves with my work. Their feedback has been hugely important from a diversity standpoint. A truly worthwhile exercise that enriched all of our understanding about how to support our own mental health.
