Making the Most of Masters (MMM) aims to improve collaboration between external
organisations and universities by providing opportunities for postgraduate masters students to
undertake work based dissertation projects.
The projects, which are an integral part of the students academic programme, address real
needs within an organisation. Projects can be from any discipline and economic area.
Our team develop links between individual masters programmes and external organisations,
providing the necessary documentation and support required to facilitate the overall process.
