Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

Lasting between one and three years, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships is a UK-wide programme enabling organisations to improve their performance by utilising a university's expertise. Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) give you the opportunity to access university expertise to improve the performance of your organisation focusing on a strategic and innovative idea. Together we will build a relationship and help your business develop a competitive advantage.  

It involves three key partners:

The University

Your Business

A Talented Graduate

There are two types of KTPs you can utilise:

Shorter KTP focus on tactical and operational issues within your organisation and range from 10-40 weeks

Classic KTP address long term issues you may have, and can vary in length from 1-3 years
All partnerships are partly funded by the government, which is a fantastic way for your business to continue to produce innovative products and services in a highly cost effective way.
