Collaboration on MSc projects has long been a key channel of interaction between Imperial College and Anglian Water. Working together allows students to achieve their MSc programme requirements for their final projects while working on finding novel solutions for current business challenges. This gives students exposure to a real work environment, the opportunity to work on exciting projects that will have an impact, while giving them the crucial first business experience setting them apart when it comes to finding their first job.

Below is a list of past projects undertaken by students across Imperial College including the Anglian Water Placement students.
