Student Projects

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 seeking interesting openings for these projects. We offer a Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences programme with eight degree courses and three Master programmes in Life Sciences which meet the educational demands of young people, business and society. Students at the School of Life Sciences FHNW are prepared for work in the attractive life sciences job market, which offers excellent career prospects.

Creative solutions with the latest innovations

Student projects and theses (Bsc and Msc) offer businesses and institutions an ideal way to tackle complex problems under the guidance of lecturers and FHNW scientific staff. Student projects offer an ideal solution where internal resources are limited.

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.

Applications

Please contact us via the online form, giving an outline of the assignment and aims.
