Student projects enable companies and organisations to deal with complex problems without major financial outlay. Our students solve your problems creatively and competently.
Your advantages
- As a client, you receive solutions based on the latest knowledge and often displaying surprising creativity, at low cost and low risk.
- You meet potential employees early on. Students are frequently hired by customers after completing their degrees.
- You establish direct contact with specialists and its wide network of experts.
- As a rule, the rights to the results of student projects lie with you as the client.

Useful content and successful staff recruitment
"Project work has delivered important results that have been implemented directly in practice. In addition to useful content, this work is also ideal for successful staff recruitment. Both sides meet within a limited framework, which creates a high level of clarity regarding offers and expectations in the event of subsequent hiring. Last but not least, cooperation with the FHNW always leads to a new, fresh way of thinking, which helps you to open up your own perspective."
