Summer projects

What's Special About Our Courses?

CORMSIS Master’s degrees give you an invaluable opportunity to show off your talents at a leading company or organisation in the UK or overseas.

A key feature of the degree is the three month summer placement . You will solve a real-world application or tackle an issue and write up your work as a dissertation.

CORMSIS has links up with many top companies and organisations to offer a wide range of challenging and rewarding projects. You might be devising future models of health and social care , analysing credit risks , developing new information and communication systems or coming up with new transport pricing schemes .

Our academics and Industrial Liaison Officers will support you in finding the right placement, making contacts and agreeing a programme of work. You will gather data, work on the issues and write up your findings over the summer.

There are no guarantees – but many of our former students impressed their companies and organisations so much during their projects – they are now members of staff!

The project was a real launch pad for my career. I learned a lot of skills that I was able to apply directly and had a head start over the other graduate entrants that joined the company.
