Strategic alliances

The key to the success of our new University's vision is the ability to work closely, and in a strategic manner, with a select group of partners from the commercial world.

The relationships between companies and universities involves a range of activities which enable companies to:

• Commission and collaborate in research projects of mutual interest
• Work in partnership in developing and exploiting intellectual property
• Replenish their staff complement through recruitment of high calibre graduates
• Develop staff skills and expertise through professional development activities and exchange of staff
• Access expertise through consultancy and services
• Tackle social and political issues affecting the business

Our four Faculties will work together to develop and deliver strategic relationships tailored to your specific business needs. For more information on any of these faculties click on one of the links below:

• Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences
• Faculty of Life Sciences
• Faculty of Humanities
• Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences

The University has a team of dedicated professionals who develop and manage its complex relationships with companies.

When your business enters into a strategic relationship with us, a dedicated account manager will be appointed who will be your primary point of contact in your dealing with the University.

We capitalise on a comprehensive overview of our strategic relationships which enables the benefits of partnerships to be unlocked.

By taking a long-term view of the project, the two organisations will subsequently develop an increasingly profound understanding of their respective needs and aspirations.

The University also has processes in place to significantly reduce the bureaucratic overhead associated with collaboration, which leads to a highly efficient working relationship.
