Call for Final Year Engineering and Product Design Projects | 2025/26
Overview
As part of our MEng and BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering, BSc (Hons) Design Engineering, and BA/BSc (Hons) Product Design degrees, we are seeking proposals from businesses that have real-life projects they are seeking help with. These proposals will be promoted amongst students on all of these programmes and will form the basis of their final year projects.
If you are interested in putting forward a project proposal - and do not currently have a Bournemouth University student placed within your business already - then simply complete the short form below?

The deadline for submitting proposals is Friday 05 September 2025.
Benefits of participating
We are immensely proud of our students and previous graduates have gone on top produce some fantastic pieces of work. If you don't believe us, then check out last year's projects: https://lnkd.in/e7N_gH2C
For no cost or financial investment, that requires as much or as little time as you can provide, your company could benefit from exciting and fresh ideas from one or more of BU's talented future engineers, some of whom you might want to speak with about future career opportunities.
Selecting projects
We really appreciate you taking the time to submit project ideas. However, projects are ultimately selected by our students, once they have been assessed for their suitability by the academic team.
However, student projects are not the only way that we can work with you. Depending on the nature of your challenge or project idea, we can discuss other ways we can work with you so it can be a great way to start a conversation with us about working with you.
