Aims & Objectives

This project aims to increase and embed employer engagement in undergraduate STEM provision at the University of Bath, and more widely across SW regional HEIs, by:

  1. Encouraging and enabling more employers (from SMEs to large corporations) to provide ‘real world’ experiential learning for STEM students through placements and employer-defined collaborative projects;
  2. Building upon and embedding existing good practice in relation to employer engagement within STEM departments, and extending the range of ways in which employer engagement is embedded within the undergraduate curriculum;
  3. Enabling equality of access and encouraging more students to become involved in these opportunities.
