Partnerships with companies

The University strives to develop sustainable partnerships which are based on shared goals and maximise opportunities for both parties. To achieve this, we have processes and structures which enable us to be flexible and responsive to the needs of our partners. Partnerships will take different forms and will encompass a variety of activities across all of the University functions.

We already collaborate with partners such as Rolls-Royce and Boeing at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Siemens in our Wind Power Centre along with other corporations such as GSK, Pfizer, Airbus, Unilever, Nissan, Network Rail, Smith & Nephew and Yorkshire Water.

To find out how we collaborate and partner with other people our 'Discover' magazine opens the door to this hidden world of innovation and invention. We want to inspire future collaborations and celebrate our existing external partnerships.
