Relevant Research - November 2016

This month we bring you again a mix of research stories from our talented staff and students. The students have finished and presented this year's projects. We are impressed by the quality of their work and how effective they are at meeting their clients' needs. You will read more of their stories here over the coming months.

We have been encouraged by the variety not just of the students' work but also of the businesses which they have worked with. Thank you for providing our students with real world experience for their projects. We hope that these stories will inspire you with ideas of how you might be able to work with our students and our staff in future. If you would like to employ a student intern over the summer, or need a graduate to join your team, or you have an idea for a 2017 project which might suit students or staff, please get in touch with us. 

Our next newsletter will be in late January 2017. I hope you have the opportunity for a restful break over the summer and wish you a Merry Christmas.
