Collaborative Student Projects
Where individual talents merge into collective achievements. Our students work together on real-world financial challenges, building both professional skills and lasting partnerships through shared success.
Building Financial Teams
Since 2024, we've watched remarkable transformations happen when students combine their unique perspectives on financial planning. Sarah from Manchester discovered her gift for risk assessment while collaborating with David's analytical approach to portfolio management.
These partnerships often extend beyond coursework — we've seen study groups evolve into business partnerships, and competitive exercises spark lifelong professional relationships.

Shared Success Stories
When students work together, they achieve more than any individual effort could produce. Here's what collaborative learning has delivered for our community in 2025.
Team Projects Completed
Over 150 collaborative projects completed this year, with teams averaging 4-5 members each. Students report higher confidence levels and deeper understanding when working together on complex financial scenarios.
Research Collaborations
Joint research initiatives have produced insights into UK market trends, with several student teams presenting findings at regional finance conferences. These collaborative efforts often lead to publication opportunities.
Industry Partnerships
Student teams have successfully partnered with Leicester-based financial firms on consulting projects, providing real-world experience while delivering valuable insights to established businesses.
James Mitchell
Team Leader, Portfolio Analysis Group
Working with Emma and Marcus completely changed how I approach financial analysis. Emma's attention to detail caught risks I'd missed, while Marcus brought creative solutions I never would have considered. Our joint project on sustainable investing strategies ended up being presented to three different investment firms in London.
Rachel Thompson
Research Coordinator, Market Analysis Team
I was intimidated by the collaborative aspect at first, but it turned out to be the most rewarding part of my learning journey. Our team's research on fintech disruption in the UK market gained recognition from industry professionals. The connections I made through this project led to my current position at a Birmingham-based financial consultancy.
