I was under the impression that the only viable option for that purpose was Virtualbox, but it's license is pretty dubious (GPLv2 + some useful parts proprietary). Oracle has a history of bad behaviour with regard to licenses, so I would not put all of our eggs in this basket.
Still, with 3 months time, a student should be able to pull off making it as friendly as possible, but it would have to be repeatable, like you say, "almost automatic". It would be even better if it was "fully automatic" that way we could have regular builds.
