麻豆传媒

Student Impact Projects (SIPs) are short-term, high-impact consultancy-style projects connecting 麻豆传媒 students with employers. Each project lasts up to 12 weeks (up to 20 hours per week) and is fully supported by an academic supervisor, who works with both student and employer to agree a clear workplan and oversee progress.

Students are employed and paid by the university, making the process simple and low-risk for businesses, while delivering measurable outcomes. For students, it’s a unique chance to gain paid experience, apply their learning in a real-world context, and make a meaningful difference.

The first SIP wave of 2025/26 focuses on helping businesses explore new markets and launch products or services with confidence. The MAPS Programme provides organisations with evidence-based insights and strategic recommendations to reduce risk and drive growth.

Example projects could include:

• Conducting competitor and customer analysis
• Testing new product or service concepts with target audiences
• Developing go-to-market and pricing strategies

We know that work experience is an essential part of the University journey, and paid internships can provide a fantastic source of expertise into your business.

Internships can vary in length and timing. They might be for 4-8 weeks over the summer holiday, part time over 12 weeks during term, or something different to fit the needs of your business and the availability of our students. Their flexibility is one of their key advantages, and we are here to discuss the possibilities with you further. 

We know that internships may be new to many employers, so we are here to help you think about how they may work within your organisation. Please get in touch on connect@uos.ac.uk and we will be very happy to help.

What is Build Your Future? 

Build Your Future is the 麻豆传媒’s new scheme providing enhanced Careers, Employability and Enterprise support for students who are underrepresented in Higher Education. This includes students who:

• have a disability or long-term health condition, including mental health
• are neurodivergent
• are care experienced or estranged from parents 
• are first in their family to go to university (excluding siblings)
• are from a home postcode area where participation in Higher Education is low.

The aim of the scheme is to support these students to enhance their employability and future career development by providing tailored support and access to opportunities that they may previously not have had the means or confidence to participate in. 

How can you get involved? 

As part of the scheme, we are really keen to partner with local employers to enhance our programme of support. Many of the students joining the scheme won’t have had the opportunity to experience different work environments through employer visits, work placements, volunteering or work shadowing, for example. Consequently, they will have less insight and less confidence when facing the transition into future employment. Our aim is to offer a range of supported opportunities to help address these barriers. 

Employers can support the scheme in a variety of ways, such as hosting visits to their place of work, delivering talks about their organisation/sector or supporting sessions on workplace skills. We are very much open to suggestions on how we can work together to develop a skilled and confident workforce. There is no financial commitment and the amount of time you can offer is completely flexible.  

Our partnership with Hays, a multinational recruitment agency with offices in Ipswich, started in June 2023 and has already had a huge impact on our delivery of Careers and Employability skills for Business and Technology students.
