Capstone Project

 

The 4th year PPE Capstone project is dedicated to tackling a practical policy issue or problem relevant to an external client organisation. Working in small teams under the supervision of a faculty member, students have a unique opportunity to combine and deploy their knowledge and skills to address real-life policy needs. Capstone clients may include public sector bodies, private companies, international organisations, think tanks and NGOs. The project is carried out over an intensive 11-week period that culminates in a presentation and the submission of a written report to the client.

In these videos two of the 2020/21 teams speak about their experiences carrying out their projects. You can also find a full list of the 2020/21 Capstone projects below.
