Work with Talented MSc Students on Your Research Challenges

Do you have an interesting research question or challenge that you do not currently have specialist expertise, resources or funding available to support? Partner with University of Edinburgh MSc students specialising in data science and AI.

Projects are open to companies, organisations, charities and government departments from a range of different disciplines around data science and AI.

Benefits of Partnership

• Talented and enthusiastic students bring fresh perspectives and ideas into your organisation
• Start developing a relationship with the University of Edinburgh
• Many companies have used this as a very successful recruitment tool
• Some projects have extended into longer research collaborations with academic groups
• No financial contribution required - we only expect you to dedicate supervision time and provide data as needed

Project Timeline

MSc programmes run across different schools at the University of Edinburgh with varying project lengths from 5 weeks to 12 weeks. Projects typically take place in the summer, with applications due in autumn to winter. Our application for project proposals is open throughout the year.

Research Areas

Academic expertise spans multiple disciplines including:

• Foundations and Applications of Artificial Intelligence
• Machine Learning and Computational Neuroscience
• Robotics, Computer Vision, and Computer Graphics
• Language Processing and Speech Technology
• Computer Architecture and Systems Software
• Theory and Foundations of Computer Science

The Bayes Centre team will work with you to identify the best placement for your research project. Completion of the form and submission of a project topic does not guarantee that the project will go ahead.
