Project Kind
Student Initiative
Student-led projects born from personal passion and drive. Whether through a residential college, student club, or independent effort, these initiatives are created and run by students making change in their communities.

Additional Advice

Student Initiatives are projects designed and run by students for students.

They can be advertised projects with our Student Initiative Partners, or a project that you bring from your own work as a student leader through a Club, Society or Other Student Initiative.

Typically, students spend 40-80 hours on a project, in or outside of the organisation. Students can work in groups, and can undertake a project multiple times.

Students can bring a project that they are already working on, but the time spent should be within the bounds of the course timing, and the project must be defined through the Course Pathway Plan.

The project can take any form, but it must be collaborative - that is, students need to collaborate with the student initiative to create meaningful change (it isn't an activity in isolation).

Get in touch

Get Involved
