Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Northumbria University provides a mechanism for organisations to plan and deliver ambitious, strategic projects in collaboration with our Academics. KTPs help embed new knowledge and implement ways of working that make a big impact on competitiveness, productivity and profits.

By working with a talented graduate or postgraduate, guided by leading university specialists, organisations can introduce new approaches, develop new products, processes, and services efficiently and effectively. Businesses who participate in a KTP consistently report wide-ranging benefits including improved business performance, competitive advantage, increased productivity and access to new markets, including export.
