Students will each be expected to contribute approximately 18 hours of time to their projects, whilst collaborating in groups of five students. Projects should be suitable for students to both draw upon & develop transferrable and professional skills. Ideally, project proposals will be from organisations operating in - or with an interest in - chemistry/science, but the projects themselves will not be chemistry/science projects.
As an initiative taking place within the students' academic curriculum, these projects will be a key priority for the students - students who are likely to be particularly engaged, with many having missed out on recent experiential opportunities due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
All students at the University of Liverpool are encouraged to make connections & build networks, with a view to enhancing their employability and ultimately getting hired by their graduate recruiters of choice. Engagement with an experiential curricular activity such as this Department of Chemistry group-projects initiative gives you be opportunity to be one of those connections within students' & graduates' networks, to raise profile of your organisation & opportunities, and to access an ambitious, diverse, & enthusiastic talent pool of final-year students.

Project Examples
The question and focus of your project is up to you. All that we ask is that you keep your project understandable to a general audience and avoid technical language. This will help non-subject specialist staff to support students throughout the project. Open questions which ask students to interpret a problem or those which provide the opportunity to be creative, work very well. We would be happy to advise you on possible questions or topics if you would like any assistance and an example project brief can be provided.
