Funding that helps you grow
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) will embed a high-calibre graduate into your organisation and partner you with a leading ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ academic, and is a proven way to help you develop new products and improve your services – giving you an edge over your competitors.
What’s more, KTPs are largely funded by the UK Government – 67% for SMEs and 50% for large organisations – while your own costs are eligible under the research and development tax credits scheme, reducing your contribution even further.
Staff development and continuing professional development
A 2022 cohort on the Help to Grow management programmeYour most vital asset is your people. As a university, we know just how important it is to help people reach their potential, and we can help your staff to drive you to greater heights. We offer short courses, bespoke courses, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and continuing professional development options.
In healthcare, this involves a broad spectrum of programmes, all of which can be found on our .
In management, our Help to Grow programme is 90% subsidised by the government and is aimed at senior leaders of small and medium businesses. We offer a range of management training opportunities in addition to this; to find out more.
We also provide training in the areas of sonar technology, gym instruction, sports massage and personal training, and environmental management.
Sustainability expertise
We are committed to helping to protect and preserve a sustainable environment, and we have embedded that ethos into everything that we do. It influences how we power our buildings, how we dispose of our waste, what and how we educate our students, the type of research we do – and the ways we work with other organisations.
By embedding sustainability into all our processes and practices, you can work with us safe in the knowledge that you are partnering with an organisation that is committed to preserving the planet, and will be able to explore ways we can do that better together.
Artificial intelligence (AI) services
Although a current hot topic in the worlds of business and commerce, artificial intelligence (machine learning, computer modelling, data management, software development and everything in- between) has been a specialism across ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ for a long time.
Our breadth of expertise in this broad subject spans all four of our faculties. We have teams of academics exploring the topic, researching the impact of this burgeoning technology and understanding exactly how organisations can use it for their benefit.
