Frequently Asked Questions

No. Studyond requires no software installation, no system integration, and no budget approval. Students sign up independently using their university email address. The platform runs in the browser; there is nothing for your IT team to configure or maintain.

Partner degree programs receive a cohort dashboard showing which students used the platform, how many topics received applications, which companies interacted with the program, and how student research and applied projects progressed. This data is available without surveys, spreadsheets, or manual tracking.

Yes. Your degree program’s name, logo, and description appear on every student profile and application. Whenever students interact with companies by browsing topics, applying, or collaborating, your brand travels with them. Your program’s industry reputation grows with every student project, without additional effort from your team.

Studyond maintains a list of thousands of thesis and applied-project topics across all fields, from business, engineering, and natural sciences to social sciences, computer science, and law. Students filter by degree level, field, industry, and format. AI matching shows the topics most relevant to each student’s profile and interests.

Companies publish thesis topics and project briefs throughout the year. Students discover these topics and apply directly, without faculty having to act as intermediaries.

Yes. Each degree program has its own presence on Studyond, with its own branding, cohort analytics, and configuration. A university with several programs (such as separate bachelor’s, master’s, and MBA programs) can list each independently. Institution-wide coordination is not required.

Studyond tracks the thesis-to-employment pipeline for each degree program. Companies often publish vacancies alongside their thesis topics. Students who complete a thesis with a company enter the application process with an established working relationship.

Studyond is a quality-assured platform that connects students, universities, and companies for guest lectures, applied projects, theses, internships, interview partners, entry-level positions, and many other use cases.

The Studyond platform grew out of an Innosuisse research project initiated by ETH Zurich, the University of St. Gallen (HSG), and Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST). The Swiss Employers' Association and economiesuisse took part as implementation partners. Today, Studyond is an official HSG Spin-Off and ETH Startup. In 2026, it was accepted into the MITdesignX Startup Accelerator Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The entire Studyond platform is developed and operated in Switzerland. All development work is carried out by teams in Switzerland; no development is outsourced abroad. This enables us to maintain the highest standards of data protection, security, and software quality.
