About Interchange

Interchange is a registered charity (Charity No:1038129). Our aim is to connect Voluntary and Community Organisations (VCOs) who have research project ideas, work-based learning research project needs or would benefit from a social policy review and students in Higher Education who are looking for social research or social policy review project opportunities.

We have three routes for working together: the Interchange Portfolio and the Short Interchange Project.

For more information, please contact interchange@liverpool.ac.uk.

The Interchange Portfolio – Module SOCI303 (Sept-May)

Gives Students the opportunity to engage in a social research project or a work-based learning project in collaboration with a Voluntary Community Organisation (VCO) from Greater Merseyside.

It offers an opportunity for students to actively participate in ‘shared conversations’ in both the university-based workshops that support the module, and in active collaborations with VCOs.

Voluntary and Community Organisations will receive a copy of the final report.

Extended Interchange Project – Module SOCI530 (Sept-May)

This new and exciting MA module gives students the opportunity to undertake larger scale and more challenging research projects on behalf of a local voluntary or community organisation.

Students will learn high level research skills during the module and put them into practice with the aim of making an extremely valuable contribution to local organisations and the communities they serve. There is a high emphasis on analysis, independence and action-oriented research which will all positively contribute to organisations research aims.

Voluntary and Community Organisations will receive a copy of the final report.

The Short Interchange Project – Module SOCI311 (Sept-Jan)

This module gives students the opportunity to examine legislation, social policy or a gap in knowledge pertinent to a Voluntary and Community Organisation.

By working in partnership, the Student will extract the necessary information to enable them to produce a report on how a specific piece of legislation/social policy or a gap in knowledge can be put into action in your organisation.

Voluntary and Community Organisations will receive a copy of the final report.
