Live Projects & Knowledge Transfer

At PCU we place an emphasis on practical learning. We invite businesses into our classrooms to brief students on real live projects requiring a solution. From the very beginning, students experience their chosen programme in a professional context, working as an individual or as part of a team, to deliver a product or solution to their real life client. Students develop and accelerate their learning as the have to use creative problem solving and deliver results to satisfy a professional brief.

Live projects are commonly used across all schools with, for example, design students working on visual identity projects, IT students on web application solutions, creative media production students developing promotional videos and business students developing a project management strategy all for real life businesses.

Knowledge Transfer

As a university we wish to share our knowledge and research results with our business and university partners. These often take the form of conferences, such as our Anti-Corruption Conference which featured business leaders and academics from across Europe.

We have also organised livestream lectures through our Master Speaker Series which feature leaders such as Dr Catherine McCauley-Smith from Teesside University International Business School. Dr McCauley-Smith presented new remote and hybrid work practices developed by The Centre of SME Development and the Institute for Research into Organisations, Work and Employment at the University of Central Lancashire.
