University of Oxford - Mixing business with students

A student consultancy has been set up at the University of Oxford, where undergraduates offer free advice to local organisations. The programme follows a recent pilot scheme, with consultancy work offered in areas such as web design, audience analysis and fundraising. Organisations that have already benefited from the programme include Oxfam and Modern Art Oxford. More than 70 students applied to take part in the pilot project and the final 28 consultants were selected after an assessment at the university's careers service.
