Our projects span from Week 2 to Week 8 of term, following a CCG-wide project kick-off event in Week 1. A typical project team will consist of an Associate Director, a project leader, and 5-7 consultants. Student consultants are expected to devote 10-12 hours weekly, though this can vary depending on client expectations and the scope of work. This time will include client meetings, team meetings, co-working sessions, and individual work time. Past projects have included operational benchmarking, market entry, supply chain strategy, pricing, and much more. Regardless of what project you’re staffed on, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside ambitious, intelligent people from a diversity of backgrounds, honing your analytical mindset and refining your communication skills in the process. As a token of appreciation for the great work our consultants deliver, teams are typically given a substantial budget for meals and are invited to various CCG-funded socials throughout the term.

Recruitment for projects is highly competitive with a 15% acceptance rate. Our consultant backgrounds are highly diverse, ranging from undergraduates to graduates and MBAs, and spanning numerous fields in the humanities and STEM. Though past experience in consulting can help your application, this is not a requirement and the lack thereof is most certainly not a problem. We’re looking for bright students who are passionate about solving real-world business problems and are committed to delivering consistent, high-quality work throughout the project cycle.

Applications are now closed for projects in Trinity 2025 (deadline passed). The application process normally  consists of sending an application with written answers, followed by an interview if successful. Please stay tuned for news on Michaelmas 2025 applications.
