Have you got a project idea? Our students can make it reality!

During their studies, our students have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice. We are looking for interesting tasks for these projects.

For companies and institutions, student projects and bachelor's and master's theses offer an ideal solution for tackling complex problems under the professional and methodological supervision of lecturers and research assistants. Student projects are an ideal solution when internal resources are limited.

Students benefit from the combination of theory and practice through current projects. They also have the opportunity to establish initial contacts with potential employers.

You can submit a request for a student project using the online form below. Our team will be in touch with you shortly.

Advantages for companies

• Specific tasks handled with fewer company resources
• Projects overseen by experienced specialists from the FHNW
• Meeting potential employees

Advantages for students

• Linking theory and practice on current industry projects
• Contact with potential employers

Supervision

Students are closely supervised by lecturers or scientific staff. The supervisor contacts the client before the project starts in order to discuss the ideas in detail and to formulate the tasks. The client should include a supervision fee in the project budget.

Guarantee

Supervision by FHNW staff and the commitment of the students ensure diligent performance of the assigned tasks. Nevertheless the School of Life Sciences FHNW cannot guarantee the outcome of the project.

Confidentiality

The project results are normally presented by students as part of their work at the School of Life Sciences FHNW. Confidential information requires a special agreement with the FHNW.

Fees

There is no obligatory fee for the project tasks. However we welcome contributions to the freundeskreisHLS, which will support committed students to give them the opportunity to gain international experience.
Your contribution can be paid into the account below:
