Virtual Event
Free
The UBC Master of Food and Resource Economics (MFRE) Program is looking for Food and Beverage Companies (Project Partners) to offer real-world Graduating Projects to Students from May to August 2025.
- Graduating Project topics can include: Data Analysis, Financial Analysis, ESG Analysis, Market Insight for New Products, Survey Design, and more!
- Each Graduating Project is tailored specifically towards your goals, so you can make sure you’ll receive relevant deliverables for your business.
- Projects take place from May to August 2025, and must offer an enriching learning experience for the students, as this is equivalent to a 6-credit work experience course that students are required to take.
- Graduating projects can be either paid or unpaid, as long as they offer a strong work and learning experience for the students, and meet the MFRE scope.
- MFRE Students gain academic knowledge in Economics, Policy Analysis, Business and Finance, and Data Analytics. They also participate in targeted Professional Development workshops and Data Analytics workshops to further their readiness for the Graduating Projects.
- Each Graduating Project is supported by a UBC Faculty Supervisor and MFRE staff to ensure sound approach and deliverables.
- BCFB Members continuously provide amazing Graduating Projects and benefit immensely from the Graduating Projects year after year.
