Project collaboration with AAU students

Each semester, several thousand students at Aalborg University collaborate with companies on projects. The students work with a case from your company, and as the project partner, you will get a potential solution to a given challenge in your company.

The advantages of a project collaboration with AAU students

At AAU, the students are engaging in project work - often in groups. Therefore, as the project partner, you will be collaborating with one or more students on a project you need new eyes on.?

The project does not need to be specifically defined before the collaboration begins. It is a part of the AAU students' competencies to both define and solve the problem you are facing.?

The students have a high professional level, and a project collaboration gives you:

  • New eyes on current challenges or drawer projects
  • Access to the latest specialised knowledge
  • Opportunity to enter into your first collaboration with an academic
  • Opportunity to have a case tested or a problem analysed by students with special professional qualifications
  • An international perspective, e.g. new markets, language, and cultural understanding, if you work with an international student
¡°
Be aware that a project collaboration is a learning process, not an employment.

How to write

a good project proposal

When you are looking for a project collaboration, the chance of success is bigger if the proposal advertisement is concrete, so that it is easy for the students to understand. We therefore recommend that you include information on all 6 points below.

In order to increase the readability of the job ad, it is also a good idea to divide the text into sections with space between them and insert sub-headings for each section.
