Working with you

We work with businesses in five core ways- collaborative research, student engagement, facilities for research and development, professional training, and commercialisation of intellectual property. Collaborations range from short, small-scale interventions of support addressing a particular issue to longer, product-development focused activity. The nature of the work will depend on your needs and could include Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), CASE studentships, internships, direct academic engagement or the recently developed MSc (by Research).

We also work with other business partnerships teams across the university and can bring in experts from:

• Chemistry
• Energy
• Environment
• Health and Human Development
• Information and Communication Technology
• Quantum Technology
• Security
• Management
