The Consumer Data Research Centre has run the Masters Dissertation Scheme for over ten years. The programme offers an exciting opportunity to link students on Masters courses and their university supervisors with leading retail companies, via projects which are important to the retail industry.
The scheme provides the chance for students to work directly with industrial partners, and to link students’ research to important retail and ‘open data’ sources. The project titles are devised by the partners, and are open to students from a wide range of disciplines.
How to Apply
The next round of projects will be listed on this webpage from January 2024. If you are interested in applying for a project, please complete the application form, and send it as an attachment to projects@cdrc.ac.uk, along with a copy of your CV. Both documents should be in PDF format. Applications will be forwarded to the industry partners for consideration until all the projects are filled successfully. Any questions about the process or the Scheme can be sent to Richard Arnold.
