Knoweldge Transfer Partnerships available

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are collaborations between academics, a company that needs their expertise and a graduate recruited to work on a project central to the needs of the business, and its development. Together they devise and manage a 12-36 month project, which is of strategic importance to the company, and is intellectually challenging and of business relevance to the academic. A highly skilled graduate known as a KTP Associate is then recruited to manage the project on a day-to-day basis.
