Industry Sponsored Group Project

The third-year MEng group projects in Bioengineering are sponsored by our industry partners.

Each project is undertaken by a team of 5-7 bioengineering students working over nine months, contributing approximately 1,800-2,400 hours to a challenge defined by the sponsoring company and supported by an Imperial academic supervisor.

The scheme provides companies with a cost-effective way to explore new ideas, evaluate technologies, develop prototypes, generate data, or investigate longer-term opportunities that may sit outside core R&D priorities.

Sponsors also gain access to Imperial's specialist facilities, technical staff and academic expertise, while establishing relationships with talented engineers before they enter the graduate job market.

Recent industry partners have included Abbott, Convatec, Meta, P&G and Össur.
