Projects

What students can take on.

Desk-based and computational work, done remotely by Cambridge students who study the subject. Here is the kind of project that fits, by subject.

01

Computer science & AI

  • A working prototype or feature, built from a spec
  • A data pipeline and dashboard
  • Training or evaluating an ML model on your data
  • Code review and a security review

Typically: Second- to fourth-year computer scientists and MPhil students

02

Maths & statistics

  • Forecasting and demand models
  • A/B test design and analysis
  • Pricing and optimisation models
  • A review of your statistical methods

Typically: Third-year and Part III (master’s-level) mathematicians

03

Economics & finance

  • Market sizing and unit economics
  • Pricing or demand analysis on your sales data
  • Financial models and valuation sense-checks
  • Industry reports

Typically: Economists in their second and third years

04

Natural sciences

  • Literature and target-validation reviews
  • Re-analysis of public omics data
  • Drug-class and clinical-trial landscapes
  • Scientific due diligence

Typically: Biochemistry, genetics, systems and computational biology students

05

Engineering

  • CAD and component design checks
  • Stress and simulation reports
  • Embedded firmware and signal processing
  • Test plans and design reviews

Typically: Second- to fourth-year engineers

06

Business research

  • Competitor and pricing benchmarks
  • Customer interview programmes
  • UK and Europe market-entry briefs
  • Marketing and operations reviews

Typically: Management Studies, social sciences and Land Economy students

07

Languages

  • Translation and localisation
  • English polishing of decks and papers
  • In-language competitor and social scans
  • Bilingual pitch-deck review

Typically: Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and Modern Languages students

What we don’t take on

Lab or bench work

Students work from data and desk research, not in a lab.

Regulated advice

No legal, clinical or financial sign-off. Research memos, yes.

Personal or patient data

We work from public sources or anonymised samples you choose to share.
