Stand out with your own SEED project - Applications open NOW

Dissertation with real impact

We need you to help us foster a sustainable University looking to the future. From investigating how ethical our procurement is, to analysing energy usage, there are many topics you could research. Your dissertation won't be stashed in a draw somewhere - but used to really benefit the sustainability of the University!

Stand out to employers

Want something extra-curricular instead? There is no better way to stand out than having managed your own sustainability project, challenged yourself and made a real difference. Whether its encouraging behaviour change, helping hedgehogs or innovating a new way to save energy, we want to help you make it happen!

Funding of up to £500 is available from the SEED fund (Sustainable Enterprise and Environmental Development) - application deadline 22nd January. Apply here or email chj6@le.ac.uk for more information.

There is no doubt that employers these days are looking for innovators and graduates that have gone the extra mile. Skills you could gain include:

- Leadership
- Project/event management
- Research and analytical skills
- Communication
- Time management
and many more..
