Bristol Model Placement Students
The Bristol Model puts students at the heart of knowledge exchange to address social and economic challenges. It is a series of research projects that aim to evidence the student benefits of Knowledge Exchange (KE), to share good KE practice, and to improve future KE activities in Higher Education. The programme consists of six co-produced research projects designed in collaboration with external partner organisations. The projects enable undergraduate students to gain experience of Social Sciences research as ‘Research Assistants’. Participating students work with leading academics, bridging the gap between teaching, learning and research.
