Every year Memorial University’s International Programs Office sends dozens of business students around the globe to experience another business environment and culture while completing studies at one of Memorial’s partner institutions. In this, SIFE Memorial saw an opportunity and created Transatlantic Consultants, later renamed Transcontinental Market Research. 

Once a student decides on a location to study abroad – whether it be in England, Germany, China, Australia, or anywhere else – they have the option to take an accredited Memorial University course in which they can do market research for a company in Newfoundland and Labrador.

TCMR acts as the middleman, connecting companies in need of market research with the students who are willing to complete it. This is a relationship which benefits both parties. Students gain course credit, practical work experience, and a relationship with a local company. Clients receive a valuable and confidential report and a professional relationship at a fee which makes the program accessible to organizations of all sizes.
