How can NTU help your business?
We are proud to partner with over 6,000 organisations operating within the private, public and third sectors. Here’s five reasons why your business should consider connecting with NTU.
Benefit from the latest insights and expertise
We drive change through research and innovation, offering a dynamic consultancy service that is tailored to the needs of your business. In the REF 2021 results, 83% of our research activity was classified either as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent', compared with 55% of our research activity in the REF 2014, so you can be sure your business is benefitting from the highest quality insights and knowledge from NTU.
We can work with you on a contract or on a collaborative basis, or we can connect you to our leading experts who can inject the latest knowledge and insights directly into your organisation. This type of support is commonly referred to as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP).
Gain priority access to our graduates
We are known for developing motivated, work-ready graduates - all 26,000 of our students receive training on the practical knowledge and skills that are desperately needed by industry.
All of our courses offer work experience as standard and we are among the top universities in the country for the number of students taking year-long placements as part of their studies.
Access outstanding equipment and facilities
We’ve invested over £450M across our four campuses in the past 15 years to ensure we are equipped to tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges. From hospital suites to renewable energy labs and fashion studios to financial trading rooms, we’ve got the equipment and expertise to help you explore new ventures and take your business to the next level.
Upskill your workforce (for less than you think)
We run in-company degrees, helping clients like Rolls-Royce, Barclays Bank and Experian to recruit, select and develop their employees whilst on the job.
What’s more, our diverse portfolio of degree apprenticeships, professional courses and short courses are supporting businesses to upskill their existing workforce and avoid costly investments in more specialist staff.
Plus, for a limited time only, the UK Government are offering enhanced financial incentives to businesses looking to employ 16 to 18-year-old apprentices.
Bring your business ideas to life
We have supported over 400 start-up companies since 2001. Despite all manner of challenges over recent months, almost 70% of those companies are still trading and prospering.
Our new, purpose-built centre for enterprise, The Dryden Enterprise Centre combines high-quality facilities with extensive business support to provide opportunities for like-minded individuals and businesses to grow.
