Research and business partnerships
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme has been running for over 40 years and is one of the UK’s leading programmes helping companies access expertise and resources available within universities.
The UK-wide programme is part funded by several organisations including Government and research councils. A KTP is a partnership between a company, university and a graduate (Associate) who work together to deliver a strategic project for the business which the company would be unable to do without the knowledge and expertise provided by the university.
