A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) offers you the opportunity to apply your academic knowledge to real world challenges. KTPs are a three-way partnership between an organisation, a university and a graduate or postgraduate (known as a KTP Associate). Projects are varied, spanning all academic disciplines and organisations of any size and in any industry or sector. 

 

What's in it for you?

  • A competitive salary, typically estimated, between £30,000–£40,000 per year.

  • High-profile, career-accelerating experience with leadership responsibility from day one. 

  • A structured, supported transition from university into industry.

  • Dedicated time (10%) for personal and professional development.

  • A generous training and development package, including a £2,000 annual budget.

  • Access to university training courses at no cost.

  • Join a national network of around 850 KTP Associates each year.

Projects typically last between 12 months and three years and are designed collaboratively to address a specific business challenge. As an Associate, you’ll be instrumental in embedding knowledge and innovation, supported by both academic and business mentors.

Working with a supportive, collaborative team has been an incredible experience. I have deepened my expertise, especially in AI, while applying cutting-edge technologies in real-world scenarios. Beyond technical skills, I have expanded my commercial awareness and knowledge of food production and health. Additionally, I have enhanced my communication and interpersonal skills, which are just as essential as technical expertise.
