Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP)

A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is a three-way project between a graduate, a commercial organisation and a University. Graduates are recruited to deliver strategic projects within the organisation, whilst being supported by academic experts from the partner University.

The ‘KTP Associate’ is the conduit to transfer knowledge from the University and embed it in the organisation; managing and implementing a strategic development, which is integral to the organisation’s long-term growth. Participating in a KTP helps graduates to enhance their career prospects, providing them with an opportunity to utilise their degree and skill-set to deliver a challenging project.

Whilst the graduate owns and drives the KTP project, they are supported by experienced staff from the organisation and the University. They are also assigned a KTP Adviser who provides guidance and mentoring for maintaining good working relationships, within the partnership, and supports their personal and professional development.
