Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is a three-way project between a recent graduate (KTP Associate), a business and a university.
It is one of the country’s largest graduate placement schemes with more than 350 jobs available to UK, EU and international students.
What will I do as a KTP associate?
Graduates will be recruited to manage and deliver a strategic project for a business whilst being supported by their university. You’ll be employed by the University but work in the company under their terms and conditions.
As a KTP associate, you will:
- Work in both a commercial and academic setting
- Fast track your career development with a substantial training and development budget
- Turn ideas into impact and apply your knowledge
