Links with Industry

Our international research partners and clients include Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Unilever, AstraZeneca, ICI, Slazenger and many more well known names, as well as overseas government agencies and charitable foundations.

Strong links with employers guarantee the relevance of our degree programmes and equip our graduates for careers at the cutting edge of their chosen fields. For example:

• Rolls-Royce has established four University Technology Centres with our University, more than at any other UK university.
• We are one of only three UK universities chosen by the Boeing Company to carry out long-term research and development work aimed at improving the quality and performance of its aerospace products. The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing forms the basis of this multi-million pound partnership.
• We have been awarded £13.6 million in funding by Wellcome Trust Laboratories, to provide state-of-the-art research laboratories for medical researchers in key areas in neuroscience, infection and immunity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, bone biology, pathology and molecular genetics.
